(Molly appears on the screen with a soft smile on her face and an expression that shows she's happy to be anywhere that reminds her of the camp she'd been at; new and exciting, a place she can seek out adventure! Anywhere but home.)

So, I took about a week or so to get accustomed to the place. It feels amazing! Does anyone know how long we might be here, or if you go back do you go to where you last were?

Oh, I almost forgot! Hello, it's very nice to meet you citizens of Genessia and those like me who are from other places. I'm Molly, a Lumberjane scout from Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types!

(A faint but audible chirp is heard from somewhere around Molly. She looks up with raised eyebrows and her smile widens a bit more.)

Also, this is Bubbles. He's very friendly and will lend a hand -or paw- if you need it. (Probably not all the time, since she wears him as a hat.) If you know of any other Lumberjanes around, that would be a big help!

Thanks again. (She smiles once more and the screen turns off.)

... Quite the title you've got there.

No idea how we're getting out of this place, or where we go, or anything like that. Nice to meet you all the same. I'm Uai. No fancy titles.

[lumberarcher]

Hehe, thanks. It's actually the name of the camp I go to. We're an all-girls camp.

It's nice to meet you...Uai? (She blinks, then smiles once more.) Really? You mean we could be here for a long time? Not have to worry about going home at all?!

[ubiquitously]

That could be the case... You don't want to go home or something?

[lumberarcher]

...Not really. I'd much rather go back to the camp than home.

(She has...issues with her mother. Her father's on the fence, as it were.)

[ubiquitously]

Well, it sounds like the camp is your 'home.' Do you want to go back to camp, then?

[lumberarcher]

Eventually, but this place sounds like it holds just as many mysteries as camp. How long have you been here?

[ubiquitously]

Hmm, is that all it takes for you? Mysteries? [He doesn't sound spiteful, at least.] A few months. There certainly is a lot to learn here.

Hello, Molly. Glad you're adjusting well! To answer your questions in respective order: four years is the most I've known consecutively. For the other: I doubt any of us know where, precisely, one is sent back should Genessia tire of one.

If you don't mind fielding some queries of my own, what's the meaning behind "Qiunzella", "Thiskwin", and "Penniquiqul"? I've never heard so strange names. And what's a "Hardcore Lady Type"?

[lumberarcher]

That's the name of our founder who started the camp, but Rosie would be the one to go to for anything super important.

(Molly had a sinking feeling that she was the only Lumberjane in this world, but no need to worry about that!)

As for what a 'Hardcore Lady Type' is...? (Definitely something she hadn't asked herself.) It might be another way to say 'girls.'

(If she had a picture, Molly would showcase the camp's sign.) Thanks for answering my questions! It's nice to meet you.

[youfool]

Ahaha, that's simple enough.

[Most incredible names, he's found, either don't mean anything, or are very cagey about their secrets.]

The pleasure's mutual. What sort of things did a scout such as yourself get up to?
