[b]Ah, so you’re coming here to bring scoops from another world, I take it?[/b]

I just want to get out of there, that’s all. This world seems better. Kinder. Besides, my wife moved here a few months back—I just had to stay to sort out the last few issues I had at work.

[b]I see, sir. No worries. I’ll leave you to the form.[/b]

Thanks.

Address: ___________________[/quote]

I don’t know my address?

[b]Excuse me, sir?[/b]

I don’t know my address. My wife’s supposed to be meeting me at the ‘verseport, and taking me to where we’re going. That’s all I know.

[b]We do need an official place of residence for you before we can process your immigration request.[/b]
Well, I don’t know it! If you can get my wife up here she can give you an address. Can you use the intercom or something?

[b]I’m sorry, sir, but we are unable to call people back into this part of the ‘verseport. If you like, you can put down a temporary address and I’ll give you the forms to file for a change of address as soon as you know where you’re going?[/b]

That’s… very helpful. Thank you.

[b]You will need to provide a temporary address, though. Perhaps your home from your previous universe?[/b]

…

[b]Sir?[/b]

Yeah. Fine. Whatever.

[quote]Is this your first trip to universe #196? Y/[s]N[/s]

Are you travelling in a group? [s]Y[/s]/N

Do you have a sentience permit? Y/N[/quote]

What’s a sentience permit?

[b]It’s just some official documentation granting the rights of sentience. You should have received one when you were preparing to board your flight?[/b]

Never saw anything called a sentience permit before. Nobody gave me anything called that.

[b]Very well. If you’ll excuse me a moment, I need to speak with my supervisor.[/b]

… of course. No problem.

[b]I’m sure everything will be sorted out, sir. Worst comes to worst, we send you home so that the correct paperwork for your sentience permit can be sorted out.[/b]

Y’know, my wife never said anything about a sentience permit, either. And she was talking through all the forms she was doing. I’d’ve remembered something like that.

[b]… if you’ll excuse me one minute, sir. We’ll have everything sorted out as soon as we can.[/b]
