[[so after a week of aimless wandering and several failed attempts to return to the Dreaming or remove the tattoo on his wrist, the Corinthian finally decides it's time to say hello. Twin black lenses peer thoughtfully down at the communicator, their owner nestled in the shade of some nondescript building.]

It is a curious thing, to be out of place. They have done their best to make us fit, but ill-fitting it must remain for those who had purpose before. Ties are not as easily cut as some lesser materials, and I find these unwanted attempts to bind... [he hums] ...mm, an irritant. I doubt that I'm the only one.

[a pause. The Corinthian glances briefly down at the tattoo on his wrist, glowing in the shadow. He frowns, then returns his attention.]

...I am also aware that there are none here I know, and I am cut off from contacting them. So instead I would have your names and a word on your world, if you would give them. Or not - as you will. But it seems the only thing to do with a communicator is to attempt to communicate; there is no point to hiding in a false world. I will even begin, to make it more comfortable. [he adds, humored:] That is a rare offer from me.

[the nightmare touches a hand to his chest genially.]

I am known as the Corinthian, nightmare of the Major Arcana in service to the Lord Shaper, Lord Dream of the Endless.

And it is good to meet you.

Yes. There are many calendars. But the gist is the same. [ He doesn't know what to make of the mention of Destiny, but he's not going to argue. It almost gives him a little thrill, one that he can't quite describe. To be associated with destiny is entirely flattering. ]

As for the Porter, I can't say. I was there for a year and eleven days. There are others who remained longer than I.

I know she liked holidays.

From what I've been told, the universe ended. January 14th, 2014. I was not there for it. Unfortunately for your curiosity.
exceptfebruary: A shadowed, unlit calendar man looks surprised regardless (ironically gets no dates)

I should hope not.
