[ the feed cuts on and Inara is positioned behind the console, smiling lightly with crimson lips pulled upwards as she regarded the camer thoughtfully. She is cleaned up and prepped for a public chat, hair dried and styled as well as she was able. ]

Good evening, everyone. My name is Inara Serra, and I have recently found myself a bit out of sorts with my arrival in this strange place. I would cry kidnapping, but I hardly think that is the case.

I was wondering - and hoping - that there might just be someone I know here. Please, if you recognize me, I would greatly appreciate if it you could respond.

Also, if anyone could perhaps explain a bit more about what this place is and how I might have come to be here - and why - I would also be greatly indebted to you.

Thank you.

[ she smiles once more as she waits for responses, should they come. ]

Really? That's wonderful -- and very convenient. I'll see you in just a moment.

[Pepper is dressed in her traditional suit, hair pupped back and ready for action downstairs in less then five minutes. She's used to having to get ready in a hurry and it's better to be early then it is to be late in her line of work.]

[ Still clad in the attire she'd worn when she had been pulled out of the ocean, Inara is slightly bedraggled but still quite refined.

Natasha's offer will certainly be accepted -- clothing was in order. ]

Miss Potts?

Miss Serra.

[Pepper offers her hand to shake Inara's.]

It's very good to meet you in person. I find two way communication useful, but nothing takes the place of real, face to face interaction.

[ Inara smiles, and it is genuine. ]

Shall we?

[Pepper returns the smile.]

I couldn't agree more. There's a cafe just down the street.

[ Inara gestures. ]

I will follow you, then. I'm glad to hear it isn't far - a nice place to relax - that's always a helpful thing to have around, I think.

That, or something that feels a bit like home.

[She led the way to the small overnight cafe, pointing out areas that Inara might be interested in.]

... and if you need some extra clothing we can provide you with something until you're able to buy your own.

Anything to stave off the homesickness is welcome, I suppose. And, thank you -- that's very helpful.

[ she is taking note of everything Pepper points out and then some. This is an exceptionally helpfully excursion. ]

How long have you been here?

[That was what Pepper was hoping for.]

A bit under four weeks, but I'm lucky, there's a good amount of people from my world here.

[Including the reason she's not homesick herself.]

[ a guided tour is helpful from someone who has been there longer, no doubt. ]

Four weeks...

[ that's murmured - she's surprised, though she shouldn't be. ]

Do you? That would help, I imagine.

[ that's murmured - she's surprised, though she shouldn't be. ]

Do you? That would help, I imagine. <small<[ she's...not sure how to feel abut the lack of familiar faces, honestly. ]

It does. As does the fact that I'm able to continue doing what I did at home. Have you ever heard of Stark Industries?

[It's an easy way to establish if Inara is from the same world and time frame as her.

When they get to the cafe Pepper holds the door for Inara.]

I haven't, no.

[ she shakes her head, and slips inside the door. ]

What is it?

[That answers the question of worlds. They're clearly not from the same one.]

It used to be the largest weapons manufacturing company in the world; now it's the only name in clean energy. It's also my employer, so being here hasn't changed my job much.

[She follows her inside and leads Inara to a quiet table in the back.]

I suppose I should start by asking what sort of things are you used to from your world?

Familiarity would help. I'm a little jealous.

[ she situates herself at the table, hands resting lightly on top. ]

Well, spaceships, for one. They're quite common at home.
