[video] [I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it anyway!!!!]

[This newcomer is dangerous.

It's in the cold glare she gives the video feed when it turns on - she may have only one eye, but it's cold enough. It's in the way that otherwise full lips are pressed into a thin, disapproving line - this is her natural expression, isn't it. She doesn't have much color to her, but it's obvious she doesn't sleep much, bags under the eyes or no.

She doesn't need sleep. Not when there are things that need to get done. And right now she's glaring angrily at the feed.

Maybe you'll recognize her. Maybe not. She doesn't care what you think - she doesn't care about you at all.]

... Hmm. I suppose this thing is working now...fascinating that technology has gotten to this point, but also proof that I am not home.

Explanations are in order, if this...mess can be explained. Returning home would be optimal - I do not appreciate delays.

... Unacceptable.

[There's a faint trace of annoyance in her tone now.]

What about bringing one's possessions here?

[She totally doesn't have literal skeletons in her closet that she needs for experiments. Really.]

[ Sis, no. ]

As far as I can tell, we can find them over time? I haven't done much searching, though.

[She is never not going to envy and try to show you up, Jack. Even if you're technically the first envious sibling and not actually Jack OOPS]

...Such a nuisance. Are the facilities here at least up to par with what was back home?

[Sara isn't there something else you should be concerned with? .... No, wait, there isn't, my bad. Carry on!]

[luckyuncle]

Better, actually. There are a whole bunch of new technologies that exist here! ... Like what we're using to talk right now, actually!

[enviousmonochrome]

Good. After I regain my materials, work can resume.

[Jack you don't want to know what the materials are. You will flip out.]

[luckyuncle]

You're always so serious, Sara. Surely your work can wait a little while?

[enviousmonochrome]

For necessities and to avoid eye-strain, yes.

[It's especially dangerous now that she's only got the one, after all.]

[luckyuncle]

Then, why not spend some of that break relaxing?

We could have coffee, or something. I mean, if you want.

[ Gotta play nice. Gooootta play nice. ]
