[Hopefully no one was at the Bay when Prunella finally got herself out of her pod, because she spent about ten minutes being very distressed. This is what happens when you podnap an aquaphobic person, and she wasn't very quiet either.

But hey, she got out of the pod without having to go in the water and listened to the welcome hologram and read some pamphlets to calm down. It is while she's on her way to the Welcome Center that she finally plays with the device, sees/hears some of the posts on the network and finally speaks up.]

... It's very distressing to wake up in a a... Lake and have it be about seven months in the past. Is this normal for this place to do this?

[She'd sound more bothered by the fact that she went from September to February if she still wasn't hung up on the Bay.]

[Right on cue for the newbies, there comes a blonde as perky as they usually aren't.]

Oh, extremely. Hello, and welcome to Genessia! What's your name?

[It's not that he doesn't know manners dictate one give their own first. He just forgets.]

Normalcy is nothing more than a state of mind.

[So says the 400 year old vampire.]

There's nothing truly normal about any of this.

... You sound way to happy about this.

[No answer to the question.]

Normal is a baseline of what to expect in a world. Not whatever you're telling yourself.

But doesn't that mean you expect every world to adhere by your sense your normalcy?

[He's being a bit of a brat but he has a point to make. Hopefully she can understand him just fine despite how hard he rolls his "R's". That accent of his definitely sounds Eastern European, almost Slavic.]

Thus why I am asking.

[Don't worry, if he did start speaking in a Slavic tongue she'd still understand. Prunella is an omniglot in the purest sense of the word.]

Too bad I don't possess a concrete answer. You see, I just arrived here a day ago.

[He's still adjusting to life here in Genessia and so far, he somewhat likes it here.]

... Good for you? But you're just wasting both our times with your reply then.

What's the reason to be unhappy?

[He's not sure how that would help.]

Am I? How presumptuous of you! What if I told you that I learned that this world operates on its own idea of time and space?

Well one would be safe in assuming that being kidnapped is not a thing to be happy about.

[Or the Bay, fuck the Bay. Too much water, but she's not saying it.]

You enjoy saying big words the wrong way, don't you?

It's not presumptuous of me when you just told me that you are also new here. I'm merely working with the facts I have at my disposal and right now they are pretty much telling me you think you're more important than you really are.

Very presumptuous. [He's teasing her now. Just making sport of this whole conversation out of boredom.] However, I think you've nailed the nail upon its head.

I don't know much about this world but after speaking with some of the inhabitants, it seems that there's literally something reeling us in like a fish in a pond.

Divine or otherwise.

I don't know that withholding benefit of the doubt is very safe. Well, if you insist on the unhappiness, I'll endeavor to be like.

[He's not very good at it.]

Well, can your happiness be mended any? Need aid or anything?

That is a mighty big assumption you're making about this place. Especially when you've barely been here that long.

[What.]

No. I'm fine.

[Ted you weirdo.]

Perhaps. However, let's just call it a "hunch" and leave it at that. There's fiendish magic afoot, something that even a sorcerer might not be able to decipher.

[Augustine falls quiet for a time as he recalls everything he has learned thus far about Genessia. It's convenient to simply blame this all on magic but what if he's wrong? Then what?

Only time will tell.]

...You mentioned earlier you're from seven months in the future, correct? I'm about two months behind. It was December from what I last recall.

Relying on someone else's hunch isn't a good idea, though.

[She'll make her own conclusions after being here a while, kay?]

September for me, I should be going home for a holiday. [She sighs.]

It's been a while since i had a good home cooked meal, you know?

I can somewhat sympathize.

[So says the vampire who on occasion drinks tea and eats sweets. Augustine honestly can't enjoy the simple pleasure of a homecooked meal, especially since his taste buds are all but dead.]

I take it you have family waiting for you. They're going to be awful worried. Have you tried contacting them?

Is it even possible to do so?

[He gets that a lot. This is a first for him: a new arrival not wanting help or talk. Guess he'll just skip straight to what he wants.]

Oh, well glad to hear it! Speaking of things I'd be glad to hear, may I have your name?

[Prunella has the joy of being only part machine, so she can enjoy all the tasty food she wants.]

I doubt they'll worry too much. All of us are very capable of taking care of ourselves, and thankfully whoever brought me here left my bag on me.

[It's a messenger bag/purse, but it's not full of normal purse stuff.]

[She would talk, if Ted was making any kind of sense? Which he is now.]

You first, sir.

Thank goodness for small favors, hm? At least you have something that may be of use.

[Considering what little he actually learned about this world, Prunella going to need all of those nifty gadgets in her bag.]

What's your name, dear? The hour of introduction is among us.

Mm.

[It's not as useful as one may think, unless some idiot tries to mug her.]

"Dear"? And I do believe it's the more gentlemanly thing to introduce yourself first.

Certainly! It's Ted.

[Why people want to know his own he'll never know.]
