Reality - Ch. 9

What a strange view we've got here.  Okay it's made even weirder by staring out side through metal bars and having metal cages around you.

All right there's the drinks bar over there but it still feels...

Hmm?  Yes?  I agree.  Lets go out and look for where we are and when we are.

Hang on.  The barmaid wants to tell me something.
...
...
...
Okay she tells me we've got to be back in a few minutes.  Her shift ends in about ten minutes.  Yes, I know she was flirting with me but I don't-

Yeah, I think she was sincere.  No I'm not going to leave you so I can date this barmaid.

Honestly.  Don't be freaked out.  I know because you're not real you're afraid of not existing outside of this pub.

Take a deep breath and chill.  Things are going to be okay.

  I've lost two friends already and I'm not about to lose any more - okay?

Right - you go and open the pub's front door.  Let's calmly walk out.

Erm, I really don't know where we are.  Sorry I didn't mean to express things that way.  Let's just look around. 

All right we're on some kind of long narrow street.  Looking at the historical buildings along here it's a city or town which has been around for a long time. 

Yeah, you're right - it does look as though there's a little shop along the road down there.  Let's have-
...
...
Blimey you could've let me walk with you to this shop.

No, no - you know what you're doing - you lead the way.

Ah great this place does sell newspapers and...

What? 

What you talking about?  Okay I'll have a look at these weird looking papers you say.
...
...
Okay, these are very weird.  These aren't made of paper.  Bizarrely they look like they're made of stone.

And there's no date on them either.

Hang on - the store owner is calling me over.   Wait a sec.
...
...
...
Sorry about that.  The store owner doesn't think we're old enough to be in here and we have to go to the head office to get some ID the some reason.

Yeah I know.  Let's go back to the pub.  Maybe we can get some other way out of here somewhere.

I didn't think there was going to be any problem at all.  I mean, for goodness sake, it's not like we're actually kids. 

Ooo, watch out for that car on the road.  Wow, it drove past us very quickly.  Weird looking car that was as well.

Anyway here we are back at the-

Did you see the sign over this pub before we left?  Has it always been marked as Oldtrapper Bank?

Maybe that's the name of the pub.

Wow, it's a heavy door to open.

Erm, why do I feel we're not actually go into the right door?

Let's turn and go out and we'll have a look again.

Why is that security guard stopping us leave this place?  Why does he think we're bank robbers?
