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.]

They can try to hit me, but if I had either of those I'd be too damn fast for them to catch me!

[Sigh, if only it could happen.]

It'd be so cool! I wish I really did have powers.

Oh, yeah! Exactly! You'd be undefeated! They'd call you Speed Demon: The Endless Traveler.

[ As much as his wife side-eyed at his super hero names, he has to say they are seriously imaginative! People just don't get the beauty of them, and that's their own damn loss! ]

Aw man!

[Her eyes light up at the name and Sarah sighs wistfully.]

That name is perfect too!

[oyaji]

It is! Totally fits you!

Hmm, maybe we need to get you a cape...

[hisbabygirl]

Nah, that'd slow me down. It'd be like a parachute behind me when I run.

[Though it does make her wonder.]

Where's your cape?

[oyaji]

Oh, uh... Well I used to have a cape, but my new costume is all armor.

I'll have to show you sometime! It's no cape, but it's still pretty cool! Comes with a motorcycle too! Or... well... did. I don't really have it here. My partner's got his, though!

[hisbabygirl]

Aaahh, motorcycles are so cool! And whoa, armor too!

[That mask though.]

...Is that the mask you wear out there?

video;

[oyaji]

Oh, this one? No--Well, it's... kinda? I wear a face plate, but if it gets broken or if I'm out on the street without my armor, I wear this just for anonymity.

It's, like, a back up! Always be prepared!

[She squints at that.]

Does it work? I mean, it doesn't reaaaally cover much.
