Wes laughed a little more, refreshed by the newcomer's naievety. "The answers to those questions elude me as well, and I've been here for several years..." He said as he released him from the handshake. "Maybe we can discuss it philosophically over a drink." He motioned to the tavern, a smile creeping across his face.

Cam grinned as well. "Read my mind. I could use a good drink or two" he said, heading towards the Tavern.

Dantaye stood in her room staring out her window, "It's two years today...one hell of an anneversary." She sighed and took a long drag on the cigarette poking out of her mouth.
Dantaye had dealt with her fair share of Insomnia, this place seemed catered to prolonging her all-to-familiar condition. She considered getting something to drink in the tavern, knowing others would be down there. She put her cigarette out in the ash tray on the table in the room, lit another, and headed down.
In the tavern Dantaye walked up to the bar and ordered, "Irish coffee, more Irish than coffee." She mumbled knowing she really didn't have to order but keeping with the customs of language if even in the barest way possible.

"Thanks?" Cam started, drinking the shot. "Eh, not bad, but much for me" he started, shaking his head. "Got any whiskey?" he asked the bartender. "So, what exactly IS this place?"

Dantaye laughed to herself as she remembered a time when she asked that same question exactly two years before. She grouped newcommers into two groups; Calms and Spastics. Calms tended to roll with the flow of the place, a period of shock was expected but a Calm also attacked this place with a kind of curiosity. Spastics were another story; a Spastic would wake up and go ballistic, they'd hold a bitterness and were frequently driven mad.
Lucille brought Dantaye her drink, "Thanks." she said with a wink, lighting up another cigarette.

Cam took a small swig of whiskey when the bartender handed him the bottle, before looking down the bar at his and Wes' companion, a girl sitting a few chairs away, smoking a cigarette. He turned back to Wes, waiting for an answer.

Wes slammed the shot down, followed by a long pull on the Smirnoff Triple Black he had been given to chase it with. "I used to try to figure that out, but I never got an answer. for now, just take it at face value." He reached out and took the bottle in front of Cam and poured himself a shot in his glass. He looked down at Dantaye as shelaughed. "You think this is funny, you should have heard what you sounded like when you first got here." he said as he took the shot, followed by the rest of his chaser.

"You know each other?" Cam asked, looking again at the girl. "Anyways, heres a damn good question: Don't care where I am, how the f*** to I get out?" he asked, frowning.

Dantaye laughed a little more openly, "Come on Wes, there's nothing wrong with attacking the situation of this place with a little curiosity. Or a lot of curiosity for that matter. At least I didn't come running in here screaming at everyone before running off into the desert to meet insanity."
Dantaye turned to look at the new guy, "It's pretty hard not to know most of the people here, especially if you've been here as long as Wes." She gave Wes a sideways glance, "So who's going to tell the green one about the phone booth"

Cam raised an eyebrow, putting his elbow on the bar and leaning on it. "The phone booth?" he asked, confused.

Wes shuddered a bit at the mention of the desert, remembering in great detail his ordeal at the hands of the Dream Zone. "I'll let You" He said as the bartender poured him another shot. "You know this isn't goung to help any" The bartender said, then turned to attend to the other patrons. Wes slammed this shot down with just as much ferocity, then said "I'll let you, Dantaye, I'm going to try and get hammered."

"Well cheers to you," Dantaye said moving over to Cam, "The phone booth is the one and only way to get out of here and back to wherever it is you came here from...if you know the phone number that is." She took a sip of her drink, "But here's the punchline...if you happen to find the damn thing somewhere out there, you're not going to find it there again. It only stays in one place for one minute at a time. That's one hell of a vanishing isle." Dantaye took a long pause and put her hand out for Cam to shake, "Hi, I'm Dantaye."

"Cam...Cam Davids" Cam said, shaking her hand. "So, you need to know A phone number, or yours?" he asked, frowning slightly. "And how the hell are you supposed to find it? On foot, by car, by air maybe?"

Wes slammed down shot after shot, getting not drunk, but only more frustrated with each one. "Yeah, you just go to the car dealership out there in thre desert and get yourself a nice mercedes to cruise the Desert in." He said sarcasticly, then, "Forget the phonebooth, tell him about the Oasis. That's the real goal out here.."
