1) Hello everyone! My name is Martin, and I'm very much looking forward to meeting all of you! I live in London (or lived, I guess? I'm in Nonah now, which is lovely, too.) Not "this" London, obviously, but I imagine it's similar enough. (You should let me know if you're from there, too, I'd love to have a chat.) This is all pretty exciting, isn't it? Always thought it'd be fun to visit America, but I didn't really imagine it happening like this.

2) If you were a dog, what kind would you be and why? (Corollary: If you really buy into the 'multiverse' thing, it really stands to reason that there's some world out there where we're all dogs, right? That's what I choose to believe, at least.)

Martin, what did I say.

[you giant PUNK]

[ um okay BUSTED ... ]

You're not my boss anymore, you know. Your threats hold no power here.

[ he's dying. ]

[4thdimensional]

Welcome. I'm Dr. Emmett Brown, I'm a teacher at the local school, and I hope you have a comfortable stay.

[This is actually a serious question that he must give serious thought.]

My dear Samoyeds remind me of myself in a number of ways, but I believe I best resemble this particular dog.

[corkscrewed]

Oh, neat! I've got a job... organizing spores? Which sounds like it should be the kind of thing a doctor does, but I'm not exactly going to turn my nose up at it, am I?

[ holy shit that dog is amazing. ]

Look at that hair!! He's so patient!!

[ghoulking]

I'd rather not be one, but-

A shiba.

[corkscrewed]

Why not? They're about as clever as a dog can be, aren't they?

[acclimatized]

Welcome Martin. My name's John Watson and I'm from London too.

As for your question, I'd probably be an English Bulldog. They are tenacious, but friendly and loyal too. I've always thought about getting one.

[corkscrewed]

Really? That's excellent. What year? I've heard there's some strange time... stuff that goes on here, too. Can't hurt to check, I guess.

And that's an excellent decision. They're tough, too, aren't they?

[unbreaker]

kinda feel the same. thought visiting america would be pretty great, but never thought THIS would be how it happened. gotta say it's not the worst possible way, though. probably.

[Also: dogs!]

and i gotta go with a shiba inu or kai ken. intelligent, loyal, good looking, and great hunters or guard dogs. what's not to love?

[text]

[corkscrewed]

What's so bad about it? (Apart from the 'kidnapping' thing, I suppose.)

And you're the second person to say shiba inu. I don't think I've seen a kai ken before, though. Are they similar?

Someone once told me I’d be a chihuahua if I were a dog. Or a small terrier. In any case, kind of insulting.

Text

[corkscrewed]

There's nothing wrong with terriers! They've got loads of redeeming qualities, I'm sure.

TEXT

[pummelgranite]

Brockley.

And three-headed.

TEXT

[corkscrewed]

That's your name?

And are those a real thing here??

( text )

[garotted]

I've been lots of dogs, but if I had to choose one permanently, I'd be a Doberman.

I prefer being cats, though.

( text )

[corkscrewed]

Oh! Is that your power? Turning into animals? That's awesome.

[fehus]

seconding the cat answer

text

[corkscrewed]

Same question, then: what kind of cat?

Hello! I'm Hajime Shino, I'm from Japan. Not this Japan, though... although I'd like to visit. I never thought I'd visit America either,
but this is nice, too...?

If I were a dog... hmm. Maybe... a Japanese Spaniel? They're good therapy dogs...

[corkscrewed]

I've always wanted to go to Japan, too! :) A friend of mine went on holiday for a couple of weeks in Tokyo and brought me back some of the weirdest candy.

[ martin that doesn't seem like a compliment. he hastily amends: ]

It was amazing. And are they! You should send me a picture. Don't think I've run into one of those.

[am_i_a_monster]

Hi.

I'd be a rescue dog. I think a lot of us would. We were rescued and brought here.

text

[corkscrewed]

Rescue dogs tend to be the best ones. But why do you say that? Were you rescued?

Text

[crueltobekind]

1) I'm actually from Tokyo, but it's a relief to see I'm not the only foreigner around here. And you should definitely travel more if this is really your first trip abroad.

2) I wouldn't be some boring dog. I'd be a fox.

Text

[corkscrewed]

1) Well, it's not like it's as easy as hopping on a transport pad back at home, is it. :(

2) And that's a fun answer. Why? Are you especially cunning?

[Voice]

[prophesiedone]

Nice to meet you, Martin. [His voice is fatigued, but good-natured.] I hadn't even heard of Earth before I landed here.

And dogs...

I can't say I know many breeds, but...maybe a Labrador? They seem pretty friendly.

[Voice]

[corkscrewed]

[ HOLD UP the dog answer is a great one, but- ]

What do you mean, you hadn't heard of Earth? How could you have not heard of Earth?

[youresovein]

Congratulations on your unexpected vacation, Martin. I'm Lestat.

Your question's going to take some serious thought and a lot of looking at dog pictures. I intend to treat it with the gravity it deserves. What about you?

[corkscrewed]

Honestly? Depends on the time of day and the mood I'm in. Found an amazing photo of a corgi greyhound crossbreed that I can't stop laughing at, though. It might actually be as close as I'm going to get.

[marriedmedium]

What an excellent question! I think I'd be an Akita. No no, a basset hound! Ooh, or a chow chow! No, a maltese! No, a corgi! Or a Portugese water dog! No, a weimeraner!

I know, a pug!

[corkscrewed]

[ okay, he's cracking up. ]

You seem about as certain as I am.

[dioception]

Ah, I was born in London, though it was the late 1800s since I last visited. Has it changed much since then?

Now then, if I had to be a dog, I'd choose this one.

[corkscrewed]

The late 1800s? No way, that's incredible. How long did it take you to learn to use a phone??





And I think you sent the wrong image.

[versusseeker]

i <3 dogs

[Red, that wasn't the question.]

dog world
gr8

[Neither was that.]

[corkscrewed]

I would probably pay a million dollars to visit dog world. If I had a million to pay, I mean. I'd spend it all right there.

[devoutish]

Another London man, hello. What year are you from, then?

text

[corkscrewed]

2016! Awful year, I don't recommend it. :P What about yourself?

[picksthenames]

long-haired chihuahua. dunno why i have that answer right off the bat, but ... yeah. no judging, k?

anyway, welcome. youre lucky. london at least exists in this universe. my city isnt even there.

text;

[corkscrewed]

I'm not judging! Look at this guy. Who wouldn't want to be that cute, right?

And really? Where are you from?

text.

[oddbod]

always a pleasure to meet another brit here :)

and i've been told i'd be a dachsund
though i favor the king charles spaniel
it has an easier time with couches

[corkscrewed]

Look at those ears! I shouldn't have asked this question, it's killing me. I want a hundred dogs now.
