Um...hi.

...No, wait, hold on a second. This is so awkward. Hello, um, imPorts. My name is Olive. Olive Silverlock. ...And I feel like I'm introducing myself as the new kid in front of my whole class, so this is about as much fun for me as it is for you.

[She pauses, what sounds like a breath being taken slightly audible from the recording.]

So! Yeah. New kid in town. In the world. You know I feel like I heard stories about this kind of thing happening, but it only really happened to the "superheroes" from where I live. Honestly it's so weird and I feel a little bit...guilty, I guess.

Not that this place doesn't seem great, but I'm not...interested in this hero stuff. Seems like such a big deal around here and it just weirds me out. [She pauses again, contemplating for a moment what more to say. Then she remembers something.] My friend though - Maps - would be in love with this place. If she was here I mean. If she was then she'd probably be screaming in my ear right now about getting to be a real life superhero, and going on team missions and stuff like that. I bet she'd get powers that would help her...I dunno, raid dungeons or solve puzzles? She plays a lot of roleplaying games like that sort.

[Are dungeons even a thing here? She has no clue. The town she got placed in seems like a rough area in particular, but no more rough than what she's used to seeing in Gotham City.]

...Well, okay, this is a disaster so I'm going to stop talking now and try to be a normal person.

[Hah. Normal. She wishes to be more normal.]

Yeah, different games have different rules. I think you just need to stick it out and learn. [She shrugs, looking a little off to the side.] I never played sports, but my...friend - he plays tennis at our school. It's a game where you hit a ball with a racket.

[huntergames]

Oh, that one's okay. I like the games like dodgeball better.

[ Tilting her head now. ]

What do you like to do?

[pyrolock]

I like to read poetry and plays. I guess if I had to do sports, I would pick track - it's endurance running.

[huntergames]

Ew, poetry.

[ Sorry Olive, anything that requires analysis is a large no for Sasha. ]

You run, too? I just jog in the mornings sometimes to keep in shape. It would be fun to race someone, though.

[pyrolock]

When I'm in P.E. yeah. I wouldn't mind racing you, but you sound really athletic. I doubt I'd have a chance.

[huntergames]

Huh? You wouldn't know until you've tried!

[pyrolock]

No, no, I think I definitely know. I like running, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it. It'd just be kind of embarrassing.

[huntergames]

There has to be something else you like to do then.

[pyrolock]

I, ah... [a bit embarrassed:] I like to sing. I used to be in choir.

[huntergames]

Really? [ She looks impressed. ] Are you good?

[pyrolock]

I...guess? I think I'm pretty good.

[Choir tryouts are not an easy trial.]

[huntergames]

I think I'd like to hear that. Can you give a demonstration?

[pyrolock]

Um... [Oh no, this is embarrassing. Just play it cool...] What kind of song do you want to hear?

[huntergames]

Oh, huh...

[ She didn't think that far ahead. ]

Do you have any traditional songs from your world?
