[Video] Arrival

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.

Well, Romani.

[He keeps his tone quieter and kindly.]

I come from one Earth but there are many, many Earths. Other dimensions, with bridges not meant to crossed. But there was ... an accident and a bridge was created between these different Earths.

[She appreciates it. It helps her better understand, from a naive point of view, at least.]

Many, many Earths... And bridges...

Did we cross a bridge into Genessia? It must be a really big bridge...

It's possible. This is another world or another dimension. There must have been some kind of temporary bridge between here and ... your world.

Where are you from?

Where? Romani is from...

[She begins to rub her temple as a painful headache splits her for a second as she tries to recall. Remembering certain details hurts sometimes after that night.]

...Termina. Romani is from Termina.

[It's not a place he's heard of.]

How long have you been here?

[Just a quick count on her fingers and...]

Romani thinks about a week.

And you're being taken care of... by a skeleton?

Romani works for a skeleton, but Romani lives alone.

[How can she say this so casually? Because she hopes her sister will soon show up and see what an adult she is.]

... Romani... How old are you?

[There's something of a kind uncle or protective older brother in his manner now.]

Romani is ten years old.

[Practically an adult. Sort of. She just needs proof.]

I see.

[He wonders about a place that pulls children from their worlds and just lets them roam freely without supervision.]

You shouldn't have to work at your age.

Why not? Romani helped sis around the ranch all the time.

[Except there is a difference between helping and being a skeleton's only employee.]

You can help out. That's fine.

But you shouldn't have to work to survive. Somebody should be providing for you.

But if Romani doesn't work to provide for myself, who will?

[It's an odd concept to her. Everyone has to work, right?]

What about your... friend. The skeleton.

Pappy? He lets Romani eat some of what I harvest in his farm for him.

I think I'll have to have a talk with him.

Okay. Pappy is usually at the Guardian office in Fayren. Romani would show you the way, but I need to water the crops.

[She really has no idea how bad she made this look.]

[It certainly didn't sound good to him.]

Are you frightened of him?

[He's thinking she may be being forced into labor.]

No.
He's loud, [and a bad cook] ...but Romani isn't scared.

Hmm. Just remember that you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

Does he appreciate your work?

Romani knows...

Yes, Romani thinks so. But he was happy to have someone to help him. He was practically sparkling when I agreed.

So it's just you helping him out?

[Mysterio is so judging Papyrus right now.]

Romani believes that is so.

[Totally innocent, she's just helping as far as she knows.]

Well, I'll still have to speak with him about it.
