[ the comm flips to life with the face of ariadne looking almost deep in thought for a moment (this whole place is a lot to take in) before she is sighing deeply, letting her hand unconsciously start to rub at the back of her neck, as she calmly ask: ] I'm wondering if anyone could tell me what year it is?

[ that's a simple question for a projection, right? ]

I mean, my friend and I...well we're new.

[ which hopefully will give her some type of leniency with others (though she is doubtful and can only smile somewhat awkwardly because of it) ]

...and I guess we would just like some type of idea what we’re up against here, or maybe where we're all coming from.

[ it's a vague question, and one that she isn't fully sure she will like the answer of. but at least it is something that might get them closer to understanding this whole mess. because lets face it, the natives aren't exactly the most helpful of people. ]

I think there's too many people here for everyone to be dreaming the same thing. But it had occurred to me as a possibility.

Like the daughter of King Minos?

Not many know that myth. [ she smiled at that, nodding. ] But yeah, just like that I suppose.

Aside from there being too many people, why'd you rule out the idea of it being a dream?

An unfortunate truth. And sorry, I'm Annabeth.

I'm usually pretty aware of the difference, and different realms aren't all that weird to me.

Nice to meet you Annabeth – well, as much as one can being kidnapped here that is.

[ she smiles briefly at that, nodding in understanding (well as much as she could) before she was furrowing her brow in curiosity. ]

How exactly is that possible, knowing the differences and all?

Close enough, yeah. Nice to meet you, too.

Experience? I mean, I've had some pretty realistic dreams, even prophetic ones, but this isn't really like any of those. Being here for a good few months helps, too.
