This place can't be remotely serious.

[Except it seems that it totally is, and Envy doesn't like it one bit. She'd been busy at home, dammit.]

Okay look, this whole setup is cute and everything- but honestly? I'm a little insulted. You'd think if the universe was going to kidnap me, it'd be to someplace a little more high-budget than this.

[Or something cool and indie, at the very least.]

So I guess my first question is- does anyone know the fastest route back to Canada? Because I've got this ten city tour that kind of needs its headlining act, and I would so hate to disappoint the people who paid for those shows. After that, I guess my second question is- does anyone know where I can get some decent clothes? The stuff in this bag is... cute, but it's not exactly my style, you know, and frankly-

[She leans down, handing her Pokégear to someone who backs up with the wave of her hand, showing off her outfit.]

These boots? Seriously not made for walking. So if you can help out, I'd appreciate it.

[And with a slight flip of her hair, she bends again to turn the Pokégear off.]

[usedencore]

Yeah, sounds like it. You guys know each other then?

It's not so bad, if you're used to it.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Yes. There are actually a significant number of people I was already familiar with here.

I think I would prefer not to adjust to it, and for it to go away.

[video]

[usedencore]

Lucky you, then.

Well, it will eventually. You just have to wait it out.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Have you found anyone you know yet?

So everyone keeps insisting. I suppose I shall see.

[video]

[usedencore]

No one's come bitching yet, no.

It should only be a couple more months- you look like a tough kid, I'm sure you can wait it out.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Perhaps they are simply busy. Or if they are not here, they may arrive shortly. From what people have told me, it seems that groups of people tend to arrive in...clumps.

[video]

[usedencore]

What, so one person drops in and then the rest come tumbling down the rabbit hole?

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Apparently. I arrived around the same time as several other people from my universe.

[video]

[usedencore]

God, I really hope the idiots I know don't show up.

Re: [video]

[wontturntostone]

...You would prefer to be alone?

[video]

[usedencore]

Have you ever had to deal with a group of people that, given the opportunity, you'd just pretend not to know?

Re: [video]

[wontturntostone]

Unfortunately.

Re: [video]

[usedencore]

That's what I'd have to deal with constantly if anyone I know from home showed up.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

Hmm. Well, I suppose we shall see what happens.

[video]

[usedencore]

Trust me, I'll manage fine on my own.

[video]

[wontturntostone]

I suspect you will find you will not be on your own very long, regardless of whether anyone you know arrives.

People here have a tendency to wind up traveling in groups.

[video]

[usedencore]

Really? Why's that?

Re: [video]

[wontturntostone]

I don't really know.

Comfort in not traveling alone perhaps?

[video]

[usedencore]

Well, maybe I'll get lucky and find someone who'll terrify the folks from back home.

Re: [video]

[wontturntostone]

What is it about your former companions that you dislike so?

[video]

[usedencore]

It's not that I even particularly dislike any of them that much. I'm just at a point in my life where I am so done with getting caught up in their crap.

[wontturntostone]

I'm fairly certain everyone has 'crap.' It seems to be a side effect of being alive.

[usedencore]

Trust me, the people I know tend to make their issues more or less epic.

[wontturntostone]

Mm.

Several of my friends murdered several of my other friends, so I somehow doubt it could be all that bad.

[usedencore]

...your friends sound kinda messed up.

[She can sympathize.]
