[She rubbed at her face and used the curled edges of her hand to try and work the sleep out of her eyes. She felt stiff and her body was slow and sluggish to obey the commands to wake up. When she did drift through the layers of sleep she realized something was very wrong.

She shot up like a bolt and caused a small box to tumble off her into the modified canoe thing she was in. A quick look told her she was dressed and she was armed, so all she needed to know now is where in hell she was.

Karrin rifled through the box, fingers turned over the pamphlet before they took up the pendant. Oh, this was not funny. She began the low seething hiss of breath that would let those who knew her ease back like anticipating a tea kettle about to blow. She picked up the com device and turned it on.

The screen would show a skeptical looking blond with a furrowed brow.]

Right. This isn't Chicago, or any other place I recognize, so I'm gonna go out on a limb here and ask where am I? And why am I here because I have to tell you waking up in a strange place is not what I call calming.

[Times like this she really missed being able to flash her badge and have at least that amount of pull behind it. Guess she'd just have to get by on her own natural charms. Yeah, this would be fun.]

Right so I'm not sure what they, whoever is in charge of all this, plans to get out of it.

You went to school to fight monsters?

Hopefully it's something nice? I mean that'd be great, right?

[But highly unlikely.]

Y-yeah! Well I'm supposed to still be going there... but I kind of ended up here instead.

I really hope I don't have a lot of homework to catch up on once I get back, that'd be terrible.

...YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S THEIR PLAN, DO YOU!?

[...what?]

Uhh, I highly doubt it.

I guess it's always possible but somehow this feels a little bit more serious than that, and I'm not in school so it would be seriously particular if it only targeted you for that.

[She's not really the smartest knife in the crayon box.]

Oh, well... You have a point there.

Just what exactly do you do back where your from?

[That is one picnic that is a few sandwiches shy alright, but she seems like a good kid. Murphy has pretty decent gut instincts about people.]

I'm a cop, which is not always synonymous with asshole; only sometimes.

Phew I'm glad! Jerk cops are the worst cops to talk to.

...

[Have an awkward nervous laugh.]

Not that I've dealt with the police a whole lot to know or anything.

Reminds me of a friend of mine, always opening his mouth before he thinks.

O-oh yeah?

He sounds like a real stand up guy.

He is.

[And her voice got sort of soft and thoughtful.]

He really is.

So, before I resort to calling you kid, what's your name?

My name?

[Oh right, introductions. She really needs to work on this whole meeting people thing.]

Oh right, my name! I'm Ruby, nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too Ruby, I'm Murphy, or Karrin whichever you like.

I think I'll stick with Karrin, if that's okay?

[She already sad it was okay, Ruby.]

Oh! Do you need any help settling in or anything? The first few days here can be a little daunting.

Yeah, Karrin's fine.

Depends on what kind of help you can offer. Also depends I guess on if I am really stuck here or what.

Well I can help you track down and an apartment, an extra set of hands if you need to pick anything up, great company, things like that.

Well I can always use another set of hands and I have no idea where I am supposed to be living here. So yeah, help would be good.

Well I think there are about ten different apartment buildings to choose from in the main city? So there's a lot to choose from. I'm sure we can find something you like? I can meet up with you now if you want?

I need to know what are the good places then, haven't lived in an apartment since I was in my twenties.

Well I'm not doing anything else.

I know the one I'm in is generally considered the best. There are a few that are kind shady looking but the rest aren't bad.

Alright, where are you right now? I can come meet up with you.

...Oh! Have you had anything to eat yet? I can bring sandwiches and snacks if you want.

Ok, sounds like a good place to start. Let's check out that one.

I guess I'm at The Bay?

[She hadn't even thought about it, but now that food was mentioned she could feel her stomach grumbling.]

No, I haven't, I could use some food if you don't mind.

Right, where everyone starts out. I should have guessed that.

[She'll bring the phone with her as she heads to the entrance way of her apartment to get her boots on.]

Great, Well I'll make something up quick for you or we can stop and get something on the way, up to you!

Wherever we can find a good coffee and maybe a sandwich I'll be fine.
