( Now, the face might be familiar enough to the people here when it appears over the network, but Beth doesn't realise just how popular her face is here just yet. She's quite happy to bring it out for the world to see, tired as she might feel, and even if it feels like the effort of mustering a smile might just do her in completely right now she still musters a twist at the corner of her mouth that is, at least, a gesture close enough to pass. )
So, this place is wild. ( The voice is accented, but not heavy, Canadian if anyone knows to listen for it. More prominently, she speaks with a tight jaw, clipped with a slightly mocking drawl to the words. If nothing else, that should set her slightly apart from the other lookalikes floating around. ) Who've I gotta kill for a decent cup of coffee, huh?
( It's supposed to be funny - and she's smiling as if it was - but something is just...off. It's not quite far enough off of a grimace to be a real grin, the muscles twitch in her jaw like she's clenching her teeth, and she seems incredibly distracted despite the fact that she's obviously chosen this moment to make her post. Finally she gives up the act, face falling into a neutral expression as she huffs out a breath forceful enough to blow the sprawling hairs out of her face. )
Also, I could do with...another go of that arrival 101 if anyone's got a minute.
( There's another pause, another attempt at a grin, and then a weak wave: )
Thanks.
( And with that, she's out. )

( Maybe they do know that she's dead. Is it easier that way? It's not like there's a pamphlet or something, So You've Died: Coping et cetera. )
I've never been a big believer in wasting time. I'm sure it won't be that traumatising.

( But she sobers quickly. )
I'm serious, but. New face, familiar face, either way it can be a shock. Don't hurt them, okay?

( That much is a promise, said as solemnly as she feels about the matter. Maybe Cosima is the only one she knows personally here ( hah ) but she’s worked too hard, for too long, to be the one intentionally causing harm. She’s given up too much. )
If there’s anything I can promise you, it’s that.

( A pause, a bit awkward. )
Lemme know if there's anything you need, yeah?
