[The background in the video is the first Nonah housing block. Just outside of 003, to be precise.]

I'm not sure what's worse, the ending up in a different dimension thing or missing about a year and a half out of all of this.

Anyone have the Sparknotes?

What are spark notes?

video

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Study guides for books, really. They help you go over everything covered, especially if you missed anything.

[huntergames]

What? This sounds so useful for school... when I was there.

video

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Yeah, they can be- [Brain catching up to the end of that-] -you don't go to school anymore?

video

[huntergames]

I graduated now.

[ Thank God. ]

Is that... strange?

[thepalinpaladin]

How about you tell me what you already know and I'll fill in the blanks best I can? How's that suit ya Miss....?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

It's May.

As for what I know, I got filled in on the whole thing when I first showed up here, but I've managed to miss a whole year and some change. I think I would've been better off with a blank slate.

[thepalinpaladin]

I'm Lance. Real good to meet you, May. May~be we can hang out sometime.

So uh stuff here. Things are bad with Russia and not in the cold war-y way? That's the best I can offer on what's going on big picture. They elected some imPort ambassadors recently too so maybe you oughta. I dunno.

Talk to your representative?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

We'll see. Nice to meet you too, Lance. I'm not opposed to grabbing coffees or anything.

Yeah, I had heard that much, it's more everything I missed in between I'm wondering about.

Asking whoever is the rep for Nonah now is actually a good idea, thanks.

[thepalinpaladin]

Glad I had something useful to offer. Maybe they'll do the better job filling in. I don't really know what even counts as points of interest here.

Too lazy to do the research yourself?

Video

[daughteroftheoriginal]

[Ugh. Right off to this again, huh, Stark?]

It's not lazy when there's such a large chunk of time missing.

Video

[liverletdie]

What, just a year and a half?

You could skim.

Video

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Skimming doesn't exactly cover everything. Plus, I already found out about some of the bigger stuff.

[At least he's not playing mind games again?]

[liverletdie]

[ OR IS HE... ]

Well then, you're well on the way to being a competent import again, huh?

[video]

[backinakidflash]

Huh. I could get the Sparknotes, but that'd be a lotta work for one outta the loop person.

But I'm with you. Both of those things suck.

[video]

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Well, it was worth a shot. I know there was a basic guide of everything that was going on when I first got here, and I'm kinda filled in on the big things, like how it's not a cold war anymore.

The dimensional kidnapping thing is pretty bad, but missing a whole chunk of time, too? I don't think I'm a fan.

[video]

[backinakidflash]

I'm not. Everyone's moved on from where you were, and your only two choices are roll with it blind or feel stupid and ask what you missed. "Choi-ces".

Anyway. New-ish here myself, or forever-ish because apparently me from another universe was here for months and months. You're right about the war heating up though. Kinda like how you're heating up the network, but with more weapons and spies.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Worse than taking a surprise test for a class you haven't taken.

Oh, jeez. That's got to be weird. There's a younger version of my dad here, and he said he met another me in a place before this...

[That's absolutely what she's going with. Has to be a different version. Otherwise.... nope! May isn't going to think about it.]

[backinakidflash]

True-or-false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, or essay?

[ This is an important distinction to be made. They're in order of increasing difficulty to fudge his way through them. ]

Wow. OK. You win the family weirdness. The younger version of my grandfather only met the alternate me here, so that's. Better? I think. Unless we're going to count stuff from home. Let's not do that.

You win! Name your prize.

[ichoosefight]

How long were you here before you vanished for a year and a half?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

About three months or so. Long enough to get used to things and then get really thrown off by all the chances since then.

[ichoosefight]

I've only been here a few months myself. I wish I could help, but I only really know the cliffnotes version.

Welcome back, I guess?

[daughteroftheoriginal]

I have a feeling I'm going to have to get used to getting caught by surprise by a few things for at least the next couple weeks.

Thanks, I think. [It's not like it's either of their fault's that they're stuck here.]

I'm Mayday.

[ichoosefight]

That's quite a name. I'm Stephanie. Nice to meet you, Mayday.
