[An alarmed face appears on the video. Blonde hair with pink streaks, slightly runny makeup, brightly colored chunky jewelry, thick-rimmed glasses. She has not calmed down a single bit since arriving and isn't afraid to show it. Immediately, she starts rambling.]

Okay. I'm used to weird, but this is like -- the freaking Twilight Zone. I get that the, uh, people who escorted me to what is apparently the place I'm supposed to live now kept trying to get me to calm down but... well! How ever is explaining things in terms of 'death and dreaming' supposed to calm a girl down?! Not that I'm sure they're not very nice aliens, I just prefer my Sci-Fi weirdness come with a pause button.

...And what in the name of the 1990's is going on with this GUI? [Someone is not impressed with the communication device.] It's not even portable. No way I'd have a dream without a decent tablet. At minimum.

[She may not take a breath anytime soon, unless someone cares to interrupt...]


((OOC: Reminder for anyone of the sci-fi or comic persuasion to please check out her permissions post so I know what the 4th walling sitch is! If I run any red lights just give me a poke and I'll fix it lickity split.))

[Well that's certainly a mindset Toro doesn't know how to work with. Change is just been a common thing in his life.]

That's rough, but you sound like a tough da--girl, so I'm sure you'll figure it all out. Maybe just take it one step at a time. And we're all here for a reason, even if we don't really know everything about what that reason is yet. But as soon as we're done saving the world somehow, we'll be allowed to go back home. Somebody once said everything back there stays the same even though we're here, so once we're done you can go back home and everything will be back to order.

[The "here for a reason" thing is super effective at calming her down. That belief is the only thing that holds her together sometimes, when she's been staring at bloody crime scene photos for hours.]

Yeah, the -- hosts, I guess, mentioned that time is frozen or whatever so it's not like I'm missing my life. Still, saving the worlds sounds like a totally hard thing, especially since we probably don't know all the rules, right? I mean if this were a RPG I'd just look up the cheat codes, but in actual life my heroics are pretty much kept behind a desk.

That's fine! There's always something for people to do here that can help. Just because you're not a soldier out on the frontlines doesn't mean you can't do your part.

[Sorry war metaphors, but it's what he's used to.]
