Okay, finally posting with her.

[Amanda had been in the nexus for a while, however, she had been keeping herself scarce, mostly trying to find her brother, Chico, and protect Paz, as she was the one person she had seen in the nexus so far, that she knew. Well, unless you counted AIs. However, there was something she still didn't quite understand. So standing in the lobby, smoking a Cuban cigar, she attempted to catch the attention of the people passing by.]

Who is it that is responsible for imprisoning us? Although I appreciate freedom to roam around in this jaula, I have things I need to do in my own world!

Big Boss? Uh, yeah, he's here. A few of him, actually. He's apparently my father.

[Closest thing to truth he can say without sounding absurd.]

[amandanista.livejournal.com]

Your...father?

[She gave him a disbelieving stare.]

Are you loco?! You can't be that much younger than him!

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

[He took a draw of the cigarette leisurely, watching her for a moment before answering.]

...I'm 37. Came here from 2009.

[amandanista.livejournal.com]

2009?!

[She says this incredulously, looking at him, as if he belonged in a straight jacket.]

Forget loco you are un lunático! This is not some hospital I was brought to, was it?!

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

Hnnn... I know it's not easy to believe, but you'll find people here from farther in the future than I am. When'd you come from?

[He doesn't really care that she thinks he's crazy. He's been called worse.]

[amandanista.livejournal.com]

[Her gaze was still one of a dubious nature, but she was willing to play along with it, for not.]

I am from 1974.

[It felt ridiculous to state even that.]

I was on the Mother Base of the MSF, before waking up here.

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

Not sure what those are. I was two years old back then. Dunno how long you've been here, but if you hadn't heard about the links between worlds and times, you can't have gotten out much.

You do not know about the Militaires Sans Frontieres?! Sometimes Boss described it as an Outer Heaven. Compared to living in the mountains in Nicaragua, I am inclined to agree.

[She shrugged.]

I have been here around a week or so. I saw a pamphlet that said something like that, but I tossed it out, because it sounded like tonterías...absolute hogwash! The kind of thing my little brother would love to read!

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

...

Outer Heaven?

[That was not good.]

You're part of Outer Heaven?

[The last he'd seen of Outer Heaven had been... god, how long ago? He closed his eyes, sighing.]

Listen. It's not hogwash. It's true. Go ask around if you don't believe me.

[amandanista.livejournal.com]

I am aligned with the MSF, si. However, my main focus is with the Sandinista army.

[His dismay over the ordeal confused her. What did he find wrong with it?]

It is still a lot to take in, but at the very least, it seems to be the story that people believe around here.

[Man, Chico would probably love it here. She hasn't seen any UMDs yet, but just the bizarre nature of the place should keep him happy.]

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

I don't know what the MSF is, but I advise you avoid Outer Heaven.

[He looked away.]

It's the truth. There are people from all over the world, from the 60s upward.

[amandanista.livejournal.com]

Boss has helped me out in so many ways, it would be dishonorable for me to abandon his cause. But do not worry, if things ever look bad for me, or my brother if he is here, I will be cautious.

[Not that she ever thought they would be. In some ways, Big Boss treated her brother, as if he were a surrogate son.]

I suppose the truth will reveal itself to me eventually.

[falsusnominatim.livejournal.com]

It's not you I'm worried about. Outer Heaven is bad news for the whole world.

[He leant back, smoking his cigarette dispassionately.]
