[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.]

As cool as the light option sound, a phone call would be more effective. My suit can take calls for me, so you could reach me at anytime.

[Sofia shrugged with her arms crossed]

I'm not a teacher before going here, but... I learned that I like it. Since it pays well in this world, I figured I might as well go for it. A City Guardian or an assistant to one would have made more sense for me, but I'd rather stay away from that much responsibility for now.

[Her tone suddenly lowered. She went undercover as a teacher before taking a vacation to Genessia, and having the same job somehow feels comfortable]

[murph]

It was mostly a joke anyway.


So this is a second career choice? Looks like it's a big change of direction.

[trigram]

It is. But I went undercover at a high school before all of this. Quite enjoyed the teaching part, the lectures, and the field trips. But grading papers and putting up with gossipy faculty members can be annoying.

[murph]

I don't think I'm built for it.

Well maybe for martial arts training but anything less physical than that isn't so much up my alley.

[trigram]

Ah. I could always use a sparring partner.

[murph]

Me too, I think this is where one of us makes the cliché about this being the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

[trigram]

You just did.

[Sofia chuckles]

[murph]

I like to avoid the rush.
