Hello..?

[Have yourself a twelve year old girl testing the water on the shiny new thing and mumbling to herself a little as she does.]

...I hope I'm doing this right.

[Oh right. The people can hear her. Sarah takes a deep breath and gets to talking.]

I uh, gotta say, this is some real crazy stuff going on. I don't even know where to start makin' sense of any of it. The Kedan people, the ones that work here? I think they work here. Live here? I dunno. They explained a lot of stuff but I'm still trying to wrap my head around even being here.

[Sarah pauses. When she speaks again it's with a little less certainty.]

Do they ever make mistakes with who they bring here? I'm not sure I'm the monster fighting type.

[Not real ones anyway.]

No! I mean. Well... kinda. Just directions on where to get something to wear, really. You seem like the right person to ask that too.

[A beat.]

Our dress styles are kinda really different though.

[candystriped]

Oh, I can give you a whole list of places to visit!

Don't worry, it's important for everyone to have a goal.

[hisbabygirl]

Uhh...

[How to continue without offending anyone... Hmm. Sarah has no idea, so she'll just be polite.]

Yeah, I guess so. And your own style... right?

[candystriped]

[ It either works perfectly or Stocking just doesn't notice, both are viable options. ]

Exactly! So you want me to help?

[hisbabygirl]

[Whoops.]

If you could let me know a few places, that'd be great! I-I'm sure I can work the rest out on my own.

[Smile!]

[candystriped]

[ Stocking seems faintly disappointed, but a moment later a text file with a few listed shops comes through to Sarah's console. ]

There...

[hisbabygirl]

Thanks!

[She does feel a little bad though.]

Say um, if I ever need help with the actual shopping part, can I give you a call?

[candystriped]

Sure, as long as it's not too early. I need my beauty sleep, after all.

[hisbabygirl]

Hey, I've got nothin' against sleeping in. That's a deal.
