Who: Robin and people
When: Day 124, night
Where: 3rd floor windows
What: Nice view

[Tonight, someone is lingering around the 3rd floor windows, looking out over what parts of the landscape can be seen through the glass with a contemplative expression.]

[Also turning a large white feather over and over in his hands absently as he looks, keeping his eyes on the view.]

Multiple moons. Interesting.

Is there something strange about that?

About three moons? Well, I've never seen it before in person.

How many did your home have?

Just the one.

I never really thought about how many my home had. But another place I remember had two. Three doesn't seem so strange, after that.

You seem well-traveled, then.

Not at all! Well . . . maybe kind of? But not really at all . . .

I was just . . . somewhere else, before. A world that wasn't mine.

Another place like this? Or maybe not exactly the same, but... a different world?

[Shakes his head with a sigh.] The more you know.

Not the same at all. It was a dead world . . . a dying one. The only part of it we knew was underground.

Where are you from?

Just plain old Earth. One of them, anyway.

Earth . . . what year? Which country?

Around 2013... all of them, really.

Do you . . . I mean . . .

[All attention on him now, the moons forgotten.]

You don't . . . happen to know what A-T are, do you?

A-T? No. Should I?

. . . no. It's just something from my home . . . my 'Earth', I guess.

There aren't many people here who know what they are. No one who's still here, anyway.

Now you've got me interested. What exactly are they, then?

Air Trek.

At their simplest . . . I guess you could just think of them as motorized skates, with internal breaking and air cushion systems.

Ain't it?

Weird colors, too.

Where are ya from then? Earth?

Yes. Though I have a feeling this place has residents from many different Earths.

That would be correct, yeah.

And what's your Earth like? Talking dragons? Mad wizards? [Holy wars?]

Enh, there were monsters that wore humans they murdered like lil' suits, those were kind of a thing.

Hmmm.

Well, isn't that awkward.

It was a bit, yeah.

But that whole thing got fixed up kinda, so I hear.

All's well that ends well?

If nothing else, this place does have nice scenery to its credit.

It does! What was your place like?

...An eternally green and lush paradise filled with blushing virgins and rivers of fine wine. [Snickers.]

No, just kidding. It was home, is the best description.

Man that first bit sounded great though.

If only.

[Extends his hand.] Robin Goodfellow.

[...shakes his hand]

And I'm called Red.

Just Red? First name only. Very mysterious.

Says the guy named Robin Goodfellow.

[Preens.] Nothing mysterious about that. It is one of my names.

One of many, I suppose.

It's a common quality in my circles.

What kinda circles are those?

The famous, wealthy, talented, and ridiculously handsome ones.

[...Laughs.] Immortals.
