[A pensive Anita is sitting on the side of her bed, with a large frog plushie on one side and a frog-shaped pillow on her lap. She rests her elbows on said pillow, and rests her chin on her hands.]

Okay. I've been here for two months, and I don't think there's anyone who came from the same place as me around here. [It's probably a good thing because she kind of caused trouble back home, but the trade-off is that she doesn't have Nenene or her sisters with her.]

[She reaches out off-screen to get a bottle of milk from the top of her bedside table, and drains half of it in one go. Anita doesn't seem to know or care that she is now addressing everyone with a milk mustache.]

Anyway, I just wanna ask - how many of you are here with friends from home? Or enemies? Or...well, anyone who came from the world you know? I'm wondering if this world plays favorites with all the other worlds and universes out there.

...Oh, and I got a job with the police department. I'm a Junior Assistant Detective now, so my stationery-designing days are over. [Say hello to your tiny colleague, law enforcement folk. It's not as thrilling as being a bodyguard, but she'll take it if it puts food on the table.]

Then they're stupid and lazy.

Isn't that true of all government?

[She chuckles. This is why she likes you, Dorian.]

Heh, you're right. Some things never change.

Or, in our case, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Yeah. For example, we're both still here even after a lot of people got ported out.

I wonder how long we'll be stuck in this place.

Good question. Not for long, I hope.

I'm the same. This is a fun little diversion, but I don't know if I want to be here for too long.

[A short laugh.]

At least you find it fun.

Why wouldn't I? I've never been around superheroes before.

Oh. Well, I don't see a lot of people with powers back home, but we have some. Like me.

See, but there's a difference between superheroes and people with powers. I've got powers. But I never was told to put on a cape and go stop bank robbers before.

Does the costume really matter? My sisters and I don't wear costumes when we do our bodyguard work. [Anita, your paper clothes sort of count.]

In that case, I'll amend my statement: I've got powers, but I never was told to go help people by using them.

Right. Just warn us when you start wanting a cape.

Oh no, no capes. Do you know how ridiculous I'd look in something like that?

Really ridiculous, I bet. [You can practically hear the smirk in her voice.]

Get me a cape for Halloween and maybe you'll see it in person.

Psh, I could just make you one.

You'll have to make it match my outfit, though.

Deal. This way, when you're done, I get all the paper back. Nothing's wasted and you never have to see your weird cape again.

Now all I've got to do is think of a costume--still, at least I've got a while to do so.

Just lemme know when you think of something.
