Oh that's another matter, isn't it? I've heard people can come from different times. As if this isn't enough of a headache. What's the last thing you remember?
[for real jon has to put his phone down for a moment and sigh because if martin has like. flight or telekinesis or something ridiculous he's going to probably die]
Retrocognition, of a sort. Apparently whatever capricious force that brought us here thought it was funny to make me narrate past events like a statement. What about you? I can only hope it isn't something like pyrokinesis.
[ OH GOD HE'S SO GLAD THIS IS TEXT because he's definitely laughing at you a little bit here, boss. ]
I'm sure you'll find something useful to do with that. [ well at least he feels less lame about his own power. ]
And, uhh. I'm living in the archives? You just read that statement of -oh, the old man who kept having something come up to his door. Paul McKenzie? Oh my god, I wonder which one of us is in the past.
[ he's forgotten the power question already. this is too exciting. ]
Okay, I was laughing, but I've definitely stopped now. No more laughter.
[ and now he's just outright lying. :') but oh, there's a hell of a lot of information going back and forth right now. he continues on:] 1) What do you mean 'hasn't let up'?? How long has it been??? 2) And I can grow plants. It's quite nice.
You better get it out of your system by the time we meet face to face, Martin. In fact just get this out of your system now too, they made me a gossip columnist. I am in hell.
Probably longer than you want to hear, I'm sorry to say. We found a statement Prentiss made, it's... alarming. We can discuss it more in person, I have no interest typing the details in piece by piece.
Well, that does sound like you. I suppose at least that's useful and not as destructive as it could be.
We found an actual statement by Prentiss?? That's got to be a big one. And ugh. I guess if I'm still in the Archives it means I'm not worm food, but... hard to hate the place I've ended up in here. It's great.
[ yeah no he's sitting on that gossip columnist thing in a minute because are you serious that's amazing. ]
It was from Gertrude's sovereign, misfiled and misplaced as to be expected. 2014, so it's been... needless to say whatever parasite she has is one years in the making.
Anyway, yes, I imagine you must be thrilled to some extent. I'll admit even I appreciate not finding worms at the damn doorstep every morning at work.

Of course it'd be you, it's always you.
Why are you involved with every bit of trouble without fail?
Lord, well I suppose this is better than being alone here.
You just got here as well, yes?

[ martin's feelings would be hurt if those texts hadn't been so unbearably jon that they swung around from 'insulting' all the back to 'amusing.' ]
But yeah, I just got here too. What can you do?? Did you get a cool power?

[why couldn't he have the power to be left alone???? ]
I have no interest in playing superhero, I have every interest in getting through whatever this nonsense is and getting home, where we belong.
Case #0032408? Yes, I am beyond that certainly.
I'm sorry to say you're still living in the Archives, the situation hasn't exactly let up.
For god's sake Martin, I asked about your ability. Stay on track will you.
