[Rose has managed to get settled into her apartment in the Pisces district. It is still fairly bare, but she has hung up the few clothes brought with her in the closet and has a few nick-knacks on the shelves near her bed. She is seated at the foot of the bed, legs delicately crossed as she surveys the watch camera--much preferring already to the strange glasses.

She is still not certain that this isn't just a trick of the dream bubbles or perhaps Lord English--or simply SBURB itself--but her intuition tells her it's somewhere completely new. And that is precisely what worries her. Rolling a small white ball in her other hand, she addresses the video with a small smirk, projecting an air of nonchalance and confidence that is not entirely faked.]

Greetings, my name is Rose Lalonde. I am new to the city and this world, and I would appreciate any advice or information you might have--especially as it pertains to returning to our own worlds. I am afraid I do not have much time to trifle about here. There is much work to do in my own universe.

I would also be grateful to hear if anyone has seen my friends. Their names are John, Jade, and Dave. If you have not seen them, my other companions might have been easier to spot. They are an alien race of trolls with gray skin and horns. I would be willing to barter for information about their safety and location

[ Uh. But. She just saw Rose the day before. But this one is...normal. This is getting peculiar. Maybe the confusion has simply abated and Rose changed her outfit.

... ]

Rose, this may be an unusual thing to ask and if it is please disregard it, but what is the last thing you remember that I happened to also be involved with?

It's nice to meet you, Rose.

[Nano bows politely at the camera.]

I'm afraid there's no way to get back home right now, though.

[ Oh no -- wow, this is so. Disorienting. And strange and...she's not quite sure how to react so for about three solid minutes she sits there watching the video again and again attempting to decide how to respond.

No she's not really sure how to handle this at all. But when she switches on the voice option, she seems just as composed as her other self. ]

I don't think you would have to barter much; I doubt that most people have seen any trolls around.

Ah--

[There's a bit of fumbling before the woman on the other end of the line comes into focus. Seems like someone is still getting used to the technology of this place.]

Likewise, I am also new and also have much to do in my world, but all I have heard thus far is that the only way to return home is to complete whatever that butterfly masked man wishes for us to do. There is also a theory that time in our home worlds is stopped during our stay here, but... I do not know how much I believe that.

[Sorry, Pit.]

Unfortunately, I have not yet met anyone with those names or descriptions, but I would be willing to notify you if I ever do.
