1818 - voice - A typhoon blows back into town

This place AGAIN? I swear I hadn't been back home for more than ten minutes! Oh, Rem, why are the gods of misfortune and poverty always just a step behind me?!! [Whine, whine, whine.] Always I just try to do the right thing but every time it turns into a disaster! And then I get spirited away by some kind of demon computer to this bizarro Earth where total ecological collapse is a matter of decades and not centuries! I musta been real evil in a past life to deserve this!!

So ANYWAY. [Suddenly serious.] Ten minutes ago it was fall, now I look around and it's springtime. I know the Porter doesn't handle time in a sane, logical way. [Sigh.] How long have I been gone this time?

Uh, I forget. I think it was 2009. A lovely lady told me it was something like two and a half years since I was last here.

Wow. [ a beat ] Mostly I figured the cut-off on returns was a couple months, maybe half a year...

Well, welcome back, anyway.

I guess it's kind of nice to be back, after all. I'm Vash.

Well, yeah. Where else are you gonna find Indian food half so good? --Well, other'n in India.

I'm Redbird.

Pleased to meet you.

Huh, I don't think I've ever HAD Indian food. Is it good?

Wait. [ HOLD UP, WHAT. ] How long were you here, the first time?

Almost a year. A lot of the time I coudln't really afford to eat in restaurants, though.

[ TRAVESTY. after a pause: ] Well, we gotta fix that.

We DO?

Well, yeah. I mean, you never had Indian food. We're talking crucial experience, spud.

Crucial experience? [you can't see him, but he's blinking.] Is it that good?

Wanna find out?

Well, if you say it's that good... Sure!

Keen. Got time now?

Yes. Where should we meet?

That depends. You anywhere near the MAC?

I'm at the MAC for now.
