They were in ancient Egypt. Cable hadn't taken any chances: he'd gone off-island yesterday, not to play tourist, but to make absolutely sure this wasn't his universe's ancient Egypt. He had good reasons for it.

He just wasn't going into them.

He'd left Jan upstairs just in case before opening up the shop, HELP WANTED sign joining the little one that read Open. Sat down, stared out the window, not that he could see much of Alexandria from here.

[[ open! ]]

"Like the city," he replied. "Back home we just sort of... stopped using our old identities. What we were doesn't matter much so we adopted where we were from as who we are."

"Columbus Ohio?" Cable said, but he was already jotting it down. "Sounds like there aren't too many of you left."

"Right," Columbus said with a nod. "So far I've only ran across four other survivors."

A frown. Oh, right. Bill.

"Three others really."

"No rumors about safe havens, no safe spots in the mountains...?" Cable scribbled a few more things onto the form. "Year of exit?"

Fandom paperwork was special paperwork.

"There's rumors about a zombie free zone," Columbus said as he leaned against the counter. "Some say it was on the West coast. Others say the East. Honestly? I think they migh have been talking about this place."

Cable hummed something in acknowledgement. "Multiversal nexus," he said, "So it's doubtful. Year of exit?"

"2011," Columbus replied running his hand over his hair. "Not really sure of the month but we seem to be in the same season."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"All right." He jotted down 2011. "Point of exit?"

Beat.

"Welcome to Fandom. You'll have to get used to the paperwork."

"Is there a lot of paperwork? Because the zombies are sounding more appealing right now," he joked.

"Depends on your job," Cable replied. "Don't become Sheriff. What's your point of exit?"

[shotbillmurray.livejournal.com]

"Causeway. Maybe," Columbus said with a shrug. "Eventually?"

"I meant 'from where did you get here', mister Ohio," Cable said, dryly. "I can get you one shotgun today. If I don't hear about you pulling anything, you can come back."
