âItâs fine.â Pen mumbled softly, once she was on her feet again. Instinctively, she took a smaller voice to match his.Â
âDo you have some business at IPC? Is it something I could help you with?â
He thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. He couldnât possibly have anything to do here, since he really didnât even know where he was. However, he could at least ask a question.
âIâmâŚnot sure whereâŚhere, is. Could you tell me?â His voice remained quiet, only barely loud enough to be heard.
âAh, yeah⌠sure.â She gave him a slightly odd look, but then sorta wished she could take it back. Pen had been in some pretty odd situations herself before.Â
âYouâre in Dentech City, Electopia. Year 20xx. This is the IPC gaming and electronics company youâre walking into.â
If the name of the city didnât throw him off, the year certainly did. He didnât mean for it too, but his voice spiked just a bit as he spoke up. â20xx?!â Quickly, his tone quieted again, but alarm was still evident in it. âBut, it should be 22xx, right? What are IPC and Electopia? Iâve...never heard of any of these things.
Do...you know where the nearest Neo Arcadia precinct is?â
