[There are a few clicks and some fidgeting, but finally the phone is being held upright, and a girl with bunny ears and a pretty dubious expression].

Ok, good. Have this working. So that's ONE thing that's going right. Kind of.

So it seems pretty clear that my "world" has decided to pull a Dorothy on me and throw me here, wherever here is, I guess. I'm a kid, I don't have time to listen to holograms when I can just complain about my situation and why it sucks. What can I say, my attention span is my undoing.

But you guys DO have the internet, and assuming its not full of weirdos and perverts like in my world, anybody have any directions to where a kid can grab some grub, and I guess, long term goals, a place that isn't this cave?

[Video chat was sort of new for Louise too, but you had to do what you had to, after all].

No, and not even a map like in the real world! What is this stationary crap, really?

That's...really nice of you, so now I definitely know I'm not back home. But real test now: how good IS this pizza place?

Voice

[blindpuppet]

Think of it as a Twilight Zone rerun.

[Enis hums softly.]

Ever been to New York Kid?

Re: Voice

[geez_louise]

In black and white, with some weird guy narrating over a messed up situation?

Of course not. I don't even own a shank. Why do you ask?

Voice

[blindpuppet]

Yeah kinda.

[Enis can't help but smile at Louis.]

If you've never been to New York then the pizza is fantastic.

[geez_louise]

So...basically, any and everything can happen around here? I'll bet, but the only place nearby is this guy that competes with my dad's burger restaurant. I'll be eating that pizza the same day I get my lobotomy.

[blindpuppet]

Yeah. If you want a shank I could get you one.

[Enis would rather she protect herself from some of the messed up shit that happens in Genessia.]

Are you not allowed to like pizza? I think there's a burger place too.

[geez_louise]

[Ok, that was bad. Not the shank part, the fact that she could get one easily, from an adult. Just how dangerous WAS this place]? I want GOOD pizza is what I'm saying. But more importantly, what's the deal with this place?

[blindpuppet]

[Enis is probably the worst adult to expect adult like things from.]

It’s good. As for this place. [A heavy sigh echoes through the phones.] Okay. The best way I can describe it is like we’re stuck in a game. You don’t know what’s going to happen but we can’t get out and there are sometimes puzzles we have to solve to figure out what the fuck is going on.

[geez_louise]

[Louise is about to figure that out in a moment]. Whoa sister, we're breaking PG-13! [Not that she minded! Louise was actually pretty PG-13 herself]. So...what exactly do we have at our, you know, disposal?

[blindpuppet]

[Enis just shrugs. She's never thought of rating her life in movie terms. She's pretty sure that it'd be a rather depressing outcome.]

A lot of things. There are worlds connected to this one. Fayren has magic. Everglade is like a horror movie. Nova City is a futuristic city. Attleton is middle class suburbia.

[geez_louise]

[Ok, she had to be joking about that. Right]? Oh come on, that's...crazy. Like being here is crazyohgoditstrueisn'tit. [Louise face palms hard: oh boy. So this is what purgatory was like, except she wasn't dead]. So if they're like that (ugh, Suburbia, really?) what's this place like?

[blindpuppet]

It is crazy.

[There is a lot of crazy though it doesn't seem as frequent as the sort of crazy that Enis is used too.]

Genessia is like any other city though it's a little bit dull.

[geez_louise]

Aw, really? Of course it would be in the most boring city! Story of my life, ugh. So how do you travel between cities?

[blindpuppet]

You go threw the portal but you have to have that necklace on you. The one that was in the box you woke up with.

[Enis holds hers up for Louis to see.]

[geez_louise]

Portals? No kidding? Oh, that sounds bad ass! Ok, things are looking a little better now!

[blindpuppet]

There is one in the north, east and west from the bay area. I'm sure you can easily find them. They are also marked on the map.

[Genessia is built like a waffle. Enis thinks that'll be difficult for the girl to get lost.]

[geez_louise]

OK, listen. I'm a kid, so I don't, you know, read maps? Because that's dumb? So what's so great about these other places?

[blindpuppet]

[Enis shrugs but otherwise doesn't comment on maps. That'll be something that Louis will have to figure out.]

They're the other cities I told you about. Nova City has a lot more technology. Fayren has magic and similarly strange plants and animals. Everglade has monsters and is a bit like Salem.

Might be easier if I or someone just takes you there.

[geez_louise]

Salem huh? With the witches and the uptight dudes and the hanging? I'm game.

They all sound kinda kooky though. I think maybe I should have a companion. Do you mind?

[blindpuppet]

It is very much like that.

[She can't help but smile.]

I don't mind. [It'll at least give her something to do.] Do you know where you are? I can come to you.

That icon tho;)

[geez_louise]

Really?! I was just joking. Wow. [Yeah, she'd have to visit, maybe from a distance. Did they have monorails here? Great! I'm right outside the bay. Oh, and watch out for this cranky wolf guy. He likes to make threats about cannibalism.

<3's & -Action

[blindpuppet]

[Cranky wolf? Enis will have to see that for herself.]

I'll meet you there and I'll bring something for the wolf in case he bothers us.

[It may or may not be a small tranquilizer gun.
Enis flicks off the screen and then grabs her things to head out. She has two guns and a few blades hidden on her but since she's meeting a kid she decides to only carry her concealed weapons. She doesn't want to freak Louis out. Once she has everything she shrugs on a leather jacket and heads out to meet Louis.]

It's "Louise!" Louis is a boy's name:-P

[geez_louise]

[Louise was expecting a teenager, but certainly not one this cool looking. Who thought that a teenager would even be able to pull that off? A leather jacket and everything: she looked like she was out to hunt vampires! Wait]... Hey, you don't know anyone named Blade, do you? This is a very important question.

I KNEW THAT but my fingers didn't

[blindpuppet]

[Enis snorted softly and then promptly tried to hide her smile.]

No but I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up.

[She's seen some strange things since being in Genessia and it honestly wouldn't surprise her.] Where too first kid?

[In a way, Louis is right. Enis is a hunter only she doesn't hunt strictly vampires.]

Re: I KNEW THAT but my fingers didn't

[geez_louise]

I will LOSE it if he does! [That was a promise]. Oh, I dunno. How about some place all futuristic? That sounds neat!
