[Hey Foreigners there is a cutie brunette on your screen right now. She’s tapping her chin a little thoughtfully, eyeing the camera] Okay, so I get the whole other realm, hi-you’re-on-a-turtle-and-also-there-are-computers thing. Which, weird – seriously, who expects the afterlife to be so high tech? Also, sorry about the possession thing, that must've sucked. But I have something a little more important to ask about right now.

[She leans back and gestures at herself. She’s wearing a green dress that, while it looks good on her, isn’t exactly appropriate for every day wear] Does anyone have clothes I could borrow? Pants, especially pants. You have no idea how long it’s been since I even saw a pair of jeans.

Other than that, does anyone know if there’s a dance club around here or something? I had a look around myself, but maybe someone who’s been here longer can help. There’s gotta be some place teenagers can go to let loose, right? [She winks, and reaches forward to turn off the camera when something else appears to occur to her]

Oh yeah! I’m A – Catty, I’m Catty. [She holds her hand up in a Vulcan salute] Greetings to my fellow inter-dimensional travellers. Especially those of you with pants.

Do I get to know your name? Or is this going to be one of those awkward 'do I smile or not smile maybe she won't see me' things if we run into each other again?

We're on the back of a giant turtle. I think sense went out the window a loooong time ago.

Oh, yeah sure. I'm Wichita. Yes, it's a nickname.

[Holding up her hands] Hey, I'm Catty. No judging here.

Right. [ names are so weird ]

So, you called this the 'after life' before, does that mean you think you might be dead, too?

welcome baaaaaack

[traitorously]

[A bright grin] Oh, no. No, I definitely know I'm dead. This wasn't where I was expecting to end up, though.

[cons]

Yikes. Sorry.

[ at least she's handling it. well. but Wichita's skepticism is written all over her face. ]

Ugh, that sucks though. I was pretty sure I died too, but people were all "Nah, that's not really a thing". But it obviously is, if you're sure you're dead. Huh.

[traitorously]

Hey, if you want to believe you're dead, don't let anyone take that away from you! [She seems very firm on this point] But you don't get much deader than what happened to me. It doesn't really matter what anyone else has to say about it.

[cons]

I don't exactly remember dying, but it's not completely out of the question, I guess. I don't know. I guess maybe the idea of being dead makes more sense to me than the idea of a giant turtle kidnapping me for funsies.

[Squinting a little thoughtfully] Honestly? They're probably around fifty-fifty for me. I've seen some really weird stuff in my time.
