[A fifteen year old girl with a ridiculously long blond ponytail is sitting in a dimly lit room. She's been playing around with her communicator since arriving, trying to get a feel for the place, even though with her new super-vision the pixels give her a headache. Basically she's heard a few things about monsters, a lot about conspiracies, and none of it was particularly comforting.]

Here’s the deal: I think this is all crazy, but it's not like I’ve got anything better to do, so I’m going to play along. Apparently we’re all big bad heroes now, off to save the day. [She rolls her eyes.] Great.

But this? [Holds up her wrist tattoo for the folks at home] Is completely creepy. I can't even buy alcohol, but they gave me a tattoo while I was unconscious? That's beyond creepy. It's--ugh, I don't know. Super creepy.

[She looks down at the tattoo, scowling and muttering under her breath.] Seriously, my mom’s going to kill me if I come home with a tattoo… Thanks a lot for that.

[She leans back, arms crossed over her chest and favors the comm with a suspicious glare. She’s lonely and more than a little freaked out by all this, but you’d have to torture her to get her to admit it.]

So... what now?

Ugh... I could use a few less conspiracy theories around here. But it makes sense. What do you think they're up to?

[selfequipped]

This whole situation is a conspiracy theory, so if you don't want them, you might not like my answer.

Hey, just because I'd rather things made sense doesn't mean I'm going to stick my head in the sand and pretend it's not happening.

[selfequipped]

To put it simply, they have a means of pulling people from their worlds and sticking them back without their memories. All different kinds of people. There's not a huge conspiracy to that, but people from a world like my own wouldn't ... take kindly to that, to say the least.

[real_archer]

I don't think people from my world would be too thrilled either.

[selfequipped]

In my world, we have the technology, and in some people, the power, to just drag people back.
