[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?

The hologram was a bit disturbing, and what the...dickens was with that *capsule* that one wakes up in? It's enough to give anyone a panic attack. Complain away: you have company.

I know, right?! And I'm a kid: imagine I was one of those kids that freak out when they wake up in a strange place! How are you holding up?

I'm managing, but there's things moving in the shadows that I don't like the looks of.

And what kind of place pulls in young people anyway? I hope I don't sound like an old fogey, but kids need to be with their families.

Welp, if I thought I was getting any sleep tonight...

Beats me, not that I'd want DAD here either. I mean, he's great, but not exactly "exploring" material. Mom would probably annoy someone so much they'd kill her, Tina would be freaking out and Gene would probably poop in the wrong place or something and offend a bunch of people.

Actually, me being here makes WAY more sense.

I hate to be the bearer of warning, I think you'll be safe with a night light. They don't seem to like the light from my device.

Troubled family? Maybe you are better off, in that case: I've seen more than I care to, of young people that got out of trouble situations. I hope that you're able to find better things here, if that's possible.

Oh, well, that's fine. That's what Kuchi Kopi is for, right Kuch? [She really likes her animal mascot...whatever Kuchi Kopi is]. Troubled? Nah, they're just really particular. Personally, they're all pretty great, just don't tell them I said that. [How would he even Louise]. Me? Ha! No, that's unlikely. I get in trouble all the time. I mean, it involves less ghosts at home, obviously.
