[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?

True, but this isn't like the world we came from either.

Plus not sure how being able to work toward a job you want to do is messed up? Unless thinking it's like child labour?

If so kids do choose if they want to work or live at the kids home with everything paid for,

I didn't mean the work part. I'm interested in that. I meant the part where you're here for three years.

I mean, work is fun, but three years without my parents or siblings is a little hard to swallow.

[firefandance]

It is. I mean I've been away from mine for that long. But... we weirdly adapt somehow.

Don't get me wrong, still miss home and my friends and family deeply, but.... we can never be sure if they will ever appear. But here I'm sure someone would like not formally adopt you.

It happens.

Good, good, because no one can adopt me! I'm Louise freaking Blecher! I adopt myself!

Yeah, I'll find a way to deal with this place all right! Vampires, werewolves, politicians? They'll be eating out of my hand in three years, just you wait! JUST YOU WAIT!
