Hello Roxy!

It's true. The Soviets did take a number of us for some time. It was... ah... not very pleasant.

[wonk]

so like is the USA at war with em now?
r they gonna follow through on that whole conscription thing everyone keeps talking about that never actually happens?
where we at yo

[whitequeens]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't know if anyone knows.

We were rescued, and from what I understand there have been military clashes, but beyond that... I'm certain nobody from either nation wants a full war to unfold and threaten nuclear warfare.

[wonk]

that seems logical i guess

i mean no accounting 4 incompetence but its logical

glad u made it out though

[whitequeens]

Yes, I am too. It was... not very pleasant, to say the least.

[wonk]

where were they keepin u? russias up north it gets cold up there right

[whitequeens]

Ah... in a submarine, actually, if you'll believe it. But they told us we were in space.

[wonk]

thats

huh

thats a weird thing 2 lie about

not like anybody whos gonna escape is gonna have an easier time swimming out than crashing from orbit?

[whitequeens]

I'm not sure it was for our benefit... I think they wanted to discourage anyone from trying to rescue us. Um, thankfully, that didn't work!

[wonk]

true

easier to dive than break orbit + it makes em sound cooler i guess

howd you guys get out?

[whitequeens]

Actually, we were rescued. A number of imPorts figured out where we were, and came to save us!

...I'm not quite sure how they managed to figure it out, though.

[wonk]

everything happens so much

and by "everything" i mean "politics"

i just wanna chill w/ my cats and lifeguard sometimes and then russias gotta jump in and fuck everything up

[whitequeens]

At least you weren't taken! Your poor cats would have been very lonely.

[wonk]

yes! lets do it

action.

[glowsferatu]

[ A few minutes later, the portal breaks into Roxy's room, as if it's suddenly collided with the living room of a Maurtia Falls apartment, with Kanaya on the other side. In one outstretched hand, she has a number of green threads woven between her fingers, glittering brightly as they extend from the four corners of the portal out into the ether. In the other, a large white bug thing, with big black eyes and small horns that resemble Kanaya's own. Ashiah chirrups at the sight of their visitor. ]

Well, here we are. This is my home.

[wonk]

[Roxy does not so much step through as barrel because oh gosh, oh wow, oh gosh wow.] Oh gosh, wow, omg. She's so pretty, oh my god. [Her eyes may be sparkling a bit.] Can I hold her?
