I don't know who you are, or what you think you're pulling. This letter you gave me? Bullshit.

I want some real answers and I want them now. Start talking or I'll start bashing heads.

_{[Stomping around the lobby is a woman who looks extremely pissed off. The letter everyone receives when they arrive is crumpled up in her fist, a fist that is being waved in the faces of various strangers as she threatens them. Feel free to approach her and get yelled at.]}

Good to know I still look fifteen.

[Or maybe Artemis still considers seventeen a kid too... Cissie sheepishly shrugs.] They weren't really kidding about time being wonky here though.

I know you're younger than me Jones, but not by that much.

What the hell do you mean?

[action]

[alwaysanarcher]

[She nods in agreement.]

I mean, we're clearly taken from different points in time. The whole deal with Time Compression is that time's been compressed into one single moment here... and there's been kids from our world from ten years in the past as well as forty years in the future.

[eyeofthetigress]

....

Fuck everything. I don't even know what to do with this shit any more.

[action]

[alwaysanarcher]

Well... for better or for worse, you're stuck in this world. Make the most of it?

[She manages a smile, despite her nervousness:] Like I'm studying to be a doctor. And this world lets pretty much anyone use magic.

[eyeofthetigress]

Riiight.

_{[She just kind of stares at Cissie. Artemis still hates her. Because of perfectly legitimate reasons.]}

I already have a fucking job and -

Magic? Fuck. I don't like magic.

_{[Obviously, there isn't much that she does like.]}

[action]

[alwaysanarcher]

You had a job back home. Right now, we're both strangers in a new world... and I'd imagine it'd be hard to be an independent mercenary when SeeD's already pretty capable.

... Then you don't have to use magic if you don't want to?

[action]

[eyeofthetigress]

Fuck.

Fuck everything.

[action]

[alwaysanarcher]

Of course, because it's so horrible that people're taking care of us for free.

[action]

[eyeofthetigress]

You don't know shit about what I left behind, Jones.

_{[Okay, she actually misses her baby. But she isn't letting anyone know that.]}

[action]

[alwaysanarcher]

You're right. I don't.

... But until they fix it, we're at the mercy of these people. Time Compression decides when you come, and it decides when you leave. It's kind of a jerkface.
