[ hey all you projections (people that were kidnapped from their home worlds) ariadne has been thinking (not a shock there) and she has a few things she would like to ask.

so please enjoy. ]

Zombies… well that was interesting. [ her sarcasm can be oh so fun at times. ] I didn't really think 'night of the living dead' would be something that a turtle and some random world would be capable of.

[ she just sighs, rolling her eyes slightly as she moves on to the actual point of this post. ]

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a map of this place – something they could share. [ a short pause, her brow arching in a hopeful curiosity. ] Given that this place really is unknown to so many of us, I thought it might be a good idea to have something like that to refer back to when a situation like the last arose.

[ not that she wanted one to happen like that again (she really isn't cut out for fighting zombies after all) it just seemed like a good idea for location understanding, as well as planning. ]

Also, I'm wondering if there is a system set up for us all to communicate in times of crisis – an emergency broadcast system of sorts. A way for us all to know what we need to do if anything ever happens. [ yes, she is well aware that people have the network, and that they are all doing what they can to help, but she really just wants to see how all the projections organize here. ]

So that's about all I have for now.

[ a long shrug, her nose crinkling as she offers the screen a faint smile. ]

I know I may not know as much as I could about this place, but I'm trying to learn what I can and would really appreciate any help I could get here.

Thanks.

I've got overhead maps of the area, it was for the zoning permits for my warehouses originally but I'd be glad to share them.

[Oh, the things one can accomplish when they're secretly Batman.]

As for communication - several people have tried, but it's almost impossible to build anything that gets any sort of range here. The consoles really are our best bet.

[ well that just gets her to sit up in her seat, just trying hard to suppress the excitement she now had over the possibility of that. ]

Oh god. Yeah. If wouldn't mind sharing, that would be great. How were you even able to get those?

[ of course she assumes it was most likely via the emperors approval, she still figures she should ask (you never know after all) ]

A good businessman never reveals his sources.

[That's said with a quick, charming smile.]

I only have a hardcopy, I'm afraid, but I'm certain one of the printing presses can duplicate it.

A good businessman always networks well.

[ it's a joke (well as much as she can make it) as she does understand someone being secretive about their sources. though the smile (as charming as it was) only had her smiling politely as she nodded in understanding. ]

But yeah, I would really appreciate that. I've wanted to get a lay of the land since I arrived here, but obtaining any solid details hasn't been as easy as I had hoped.

I'd be willing to meet with you anytime to do that, Mr... [ yes, she is looking for a name here and can only smile a bit more hopeful as she does. ]

Wayne. But please, call me Bruce. I don't like to stand on ceremony at the best of times.

It’s nice to meet you, Bruce.

[ well given the situation, and the fact that he could very well be a projection, it was still nice to meet him in some roundabout way. ]

I'm Ariadne.

Like the myth.

[Not a question, just a faint sense of amusement.]

It's lovely to meet you as well, Ariadne. I can have copies of the maps for you by tomorrow if you'd like.

[ there's a faint sound of amusement that slips out of her at that, nodding in understanding. (points for knowing the myth, mr. wayne.) ]

That would be great. I can pick them up if you'd like - or you could drop them off - whatever.

[Excuse you he is a cultured gentlemen!!!

except not really.]

It might be best if we meet at one of the cafés. In the Water Sector, perhaps?

Um...Yeah, that might be the best idea.

[ she may not always make the best life choices, but she is at least smart enough to know not to go hang out with some random man she just met in a private place. ]

If you want to name the time and place I’ll gladly meet you.

Let's say Hasia Tan [the name of a popular place on the mainstreet through the Water Sector.] - at one PM tomorrow?

[ her attention moves away from the screen for a moment, as she is quickly writing down the location and mentally attempting to place where it already was. ]

Yeah, that should be perfect. [ she smiles faintly at that as she looks back up into the screen, her eyes drifting over him in her obvious curiosity. she may not understand half of the things she should be in this dream, but the projections willingly helping her was always interesting and had her silently wondering what might be the motives behind it all. ]

Thank you again, Mr... [ a beat, her nose crinkling as she corrects her self. ] …Bruce. You have no idea how helpful this will be to me.

[ and she means that. she'll be able to now hopefully understand how this architect designed things, and that can only be a good thing for her and the others. ]

Don't mention it. I'll see you there.
