[The screen blips on and a woman can be seen in it. She's not smiling, but she's not as angry as some either. Mostly, she appears to be neutral. She's dressed casually, wearing jeans, a white top and a black leather jacket. She's hesitant, as if she wants to say something, but she's trying to choose her words carefully.]

So... There's no way to get home, huh.

[There is tension in her shoulders as she tries to relax, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. As angry as she is, and she is angry, she knows losing her temper won't solve everything. Surprisingly, she has the voice of her pseudo-brother in her head and it's kind of calming her. For now.]

I... I've been to, uh, that place. Whatever. They answered my questions, I guess. [She rolled her eyes at that.]

Now what?

Once you have accepted your situation, you will have a standard month to find a job and move into a suitable accommodation.

[The masked face on the screen does not look very friendly, although his words are fairly polite, if direct and to the point.]

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

Yeah, I... I heard something about that.

I...

[She doesn't smile back at him either.]

Does it matter where I move?

[generalgrievous]

You are free to live wherever you please, as long as you do not cause any trouble.

[shehasdreams]

[She blinks, staring at him.]

Okay.

Why are you where you are? What made you choose it?

[greatprecious]

I think about it too...

[Barely has her face in camera view. Don't mind her, she's shy.]

...May I ask what you did before?

Re: Video;

[shehasdreams]

Glad I'm not the only one.

[She squints, making sure she's not missing something.]

I was a jill of all trades. I'm good at a lot of things.

You can explore. There are some pretty cool things to see. Just don't go to Everglade after dark.

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

[She blinks.]

Why not?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Because the vampires, werewolves and other beings who live there are legally allowed to eat anyone wandering around outside after dark in Everglade. It's fine during the day, though.

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

Interesting...

[Though in fairness, she wonders if those creatures should be afraid of her?]

Thank you for the tip.

No way to get home right now. I have to have hope that someday, we'll be lucky and find something.

[Guess whose sticking to her super happy and positive form for this one. This blonde woman who appears on the feed with a smile on her face.]

But as for what now... I guess it depends on what goal you have. What do you want to do?

Re: video;

[shehasdreams]

Goal? I'm not sure. I just got here. I don't even know much about this place. I think I'll have to do some exploring first, but...

[A small sigh slips out as she seems resigned to being stuck here.]

Have to do something, right?

video;

[charmingdeception]

That's right. I mean I have heard there are people whose goal is to figure everything out about this world. But if that isn't up your alley, it's just a case of finding something to do.

[And in her case, having to do a lot of things just to keep up appearances of the forms she has chosen. Don't want people to think two people might, in fact, be the same person. She needs to test out what works.]

And if that is the case, you do what makes you happy.

Get a job and settle in mostly. But then again, some of us have nothing to go home to so we don't mind as much. Either way, it's at least a way to survive here until a way home can be found.

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

Not so much the place but the people left behind. The ones that aren't here. That's what I miss.

Re: [Video]

[despisesthegods]

Yes, I would imagine so. People can always go place to place, but it's the people that make it home or family.

[ Sam's tempted to reply 'the same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!' but if she doesn't recognize the quote, it's going to be really embarrassing.

He smiles and shrugs mildly instead. ]

You could stage a protest or a sit-in, maybe a hunger strike, but I doubt it would change anything. The best thing to do is find something to keep you busy. Something worth doing if it's possible. It's not a bad place, but it can be pretty hard to feel like your life is meaningful when you've just been given proof you have almost no control over it.

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

[In spite of everything, she smiles. He's cute and funny, clearly trying to cheer her up despite the situation and she's appreciative of it. Her head nods and she understands, even if it's still hard to wrap her mind around it.]

Nailed it in one. How long you been here?

Re: [Video]

[insanguinated]

[ There, she's smiling. That's better. He smiles back at her, as reassuring as he can be under the circumstances. He's had plenty of practice dealing with victims when he and Dean are hunting. ]

Two months. Long enough to get a job, a place to live, and make a few friends. Name's Sam.

[ There's what it seems to be a very real, very talkative android in the video. ]

None that we know of, no. But this world isn't so bad and while you are here, time freezes in your universe.

Re: [Video]

[shehasdreams]

Wait, what?

[She blinks, staring at him a little harder. It's not that he's an android. She just puts him on par with a Sentinal. It's what he said that really strikes her.]

What do you mean, time freezes?

[Video]

[k2so]

[ He's far too small to be a sentinel, at last. And display far more personality. ]

I meant that when you manage to return back to your world, things would be exactly as you left them.

[spacepeterpan]

Hello, sorry, 'fraid not, not that we've found yet, anyway.

And really, rather depends on you, doesn't it. Think of it as going on holiday, have some time to yourself, make some new friends, pick up a hobby, maybe run into someone from home with a little luck. What'd you usually do?

[shehasdreams]

Well, at least you have been trying?

[She tries to smile in spite of herself.]

I was between jobs. My brother had a school. What do you do?

[spacepeterpan]

...ah, well... travel, usually, not really an option, just now, I'm afraid.

[He'd be lying a bit too hard even by his own standards if he pretended that's not getting to him.]

......here, though, well, try to help out where I can, at the school, the laboratories.
