[For all that Emil manages to make his presence known on the Network well enough, it's usually in responses to other things people have to say. Today is one of the rare exceptions.]

I know there might be more... pressing matters, given the current state of affairs. [The doubles of people and just recently the lights over London] But I had... a question, I suppose it'd be best to call it.

[There's a pause, and the camera pulls back to reveal where he's standing. It's clearly some manner of room, but it's one that's very sci-fi. Albeit a rather 70's sort of sci-fi. It looks too, like something that John had echoed back, for anyone who might have had the privilege of setting foot into John's police box.]

I'm aware that hidden rooms are, generally, something that might be common. But I wouldn't have expected to find one inside a clock. Unless there's someone here who might have found one in a similarly unlikely place? Or perhaps recognizes the general layout?

[At least her double is quite harmless. She would comment of the situation, but something else has caught her attention here...]

What in the world...? Well, I'm not sure what purpose it has... or seen something like this before.

A question I've been asking myself! I'm assuming it might have meant something to my previous self, but what that something is I can't say.

[A pause.]

It does explain the earlier arrival of a clock I didn't recognize, though.

Perhaps you'll find out in due time. You never know with these echoes.

Perhaps. Or perhaps it'll be like Kronos, or any of the other things that have yet to offer answers. As you say, you never can quite tell what will come next.

Let's hope it'll prove useful, hmm? [Somehow. Well, she thought it was cool if strange anyway.]

One can certainly do that much. And who knows, perhaps it really will be, some day!

Wha- you and all that are inside a clock?? How?

A question I've been asking myself! I know how I got in, but I can't say how this is all fitting, precisely.

It would have to be the biggest clock of all time to make sense... How big is it from the outside?

The normal size, for a grandfather clock. Certainly not large enough to look as if it holds all this.

There's no way... I know that crazy stuff exists here, but that has to be impossible!

I would have said the same thing, yesterday. But for this to exist, for it to be here, it has to have been possible. Otherwise how could it be here now?

Magic?

[She sounds entirely unconvinced. A moment passes and she locks the feed before continuing.]

I don't know. Can I see it? In person?

[He raises an eyebrow at that - a gesture that goes unseen given the audio nature of the feed at the moment - but it's more for the request to see it in person, then the mention of magic.]

It isn't much of a secret that I have it, after... this, but I have to ask, why?

[There's no wariness in his voice, though. Just an honest sort of curiosity. He might prefer to keep what privacy he can, but he is the one who's just announced that he's got an oddity hidden away in his clock.]

Well, it's not that I don't believe you, but... I'd like to see it for myself, if I can. I'm not an engineer or anything, I probably won't understand it, but I still want to have a look.

[There's a moment of silence, as he considers. Eventually, he shrugs - although the gesture can't be seen it leaves a slightly different sort of silence behind, mostly noticeable in the soft rustling of clothing.]

I suppose it can hardly hurt.

Thank you, sir. I'll be very careful.

Oh, but... please don't tell anyone I'm coming. There's some dangerous people I'm trying to avoid.

Your secret will be safe with me.

[That much he can manage, and it seems reasonable enough.]

Ah, and I suspect you'll be wanting an address?

That would be helpful!

[She laughs, and switches to video for a moment.]

This is what I look like. My name is Misa Amane.

A pleasure to meet you. I'm Emil Keller.

As to the address, you'll find me here.

[The address that follows is an apartment in a decently well-to-do part of the city. It's nothing terribly fancy, but there are definitely worse parts of the city to live in.]

The same to you. Is it alright if I come over in an hour or so?

[She can't claim to have much going on.]

Perfectly. I haven't anywhere I need to be any time soon.

Great! I'll be over soon then. Thanks again.

[[OOC: action tag or handwave?]]

You're quite welcome!

((I'm up for whatever you'd prefer!))

[[Let's handwave this one to focus on newer stuff, would love to thread with you again in the future!]]

((Works for me!))

Usually a clock's just some sort of doorway TO a hidden room, not contain one itself.

It kinda looks something out of a sci-fi novel or show....you haven't pressed anything did you?

Nothing. I won't deny a certain amount of curiosity, but best not. Not without an idea of what it could do.

That's good. I learned the hard way pressing buttons on machines that you don't know could have unexpected results.

Ah, let me guess... the teleporter?

You got it.

For what it might be worth, none of this looks quite like that. A shame, really. I should have liked to have some idea of what it's all for.

To bad we can't build a robot or something to test instead.

To say nothing of the time it might take to make sure the programming worked! That sort of project is never as easy as it looks. As most media make it look, for that matter.

You'd think with aliens around our tech would be much more advanced but it's still the same old stuff.

Our aliens don't seem to be much inclined to share. If there's to be any new technological advances, I'm afraid it'll have to be from one of us. And that rather requires that someone know enough about who they used to be to be able to replicate whatever it is.

Not me, as much as I would like to.

Unless someone is interested in fantasy-style forgework.

Depending on the sort of forgework you know that could prove useful. It wouldn't offer the basis of any new technology, but I can easily imagine anything unknown to Earth might require... specialized parts. The sort that one couldn't easily find here.

Mostly blacksmith, weaponsmithing, some jewlery work. And when I talk about weapons I mean swords and daggers and stuff like that. Nothing really alienlike.

Even that could possibly be of use. It simply depends on what the technology should need.
