[ Natasha sounds, well. Agitated is probably the best term for it. She's working her jaw, a bit, before she speaks, trying to find the right words to say without revealing too much but also not enough. ]

Out of curisosity, did anyone else get ambushed by a bunch of papparazzi near the theatre in Nonah? Apparently there was a movie premiere going on — one geared towards the stories and adventures of imPorts, and all of us were invited, whether or not we wanted to be.

[ She tsks, clearly one of the people who did not want to be invited and were anyway. ]

I have to say, if this is the welcome we're recieving here, I'm not sure how to take it. The spotlight isn't really my style.

[ She pauses, as if she's about to hang up — but thinks better of it at the last second. ] I give the movie two stars, by the way. Absolutely unrealistic, everyone knows there are no trees in the Midwest.

Trees in the midwest?

[vdova]

It's apparently more likely than you think.

[battysitter]

Is that something from your world?

[vdova]

Terrible jokes? Yes.

[battysitter]

That's a crappy world for sure, then.

[vdova]

You don't know the half of it. Puns, everywhere, as far as the eye can see. A true hellscape.

[battysitter]

Really terrible. I'm certain you are glad to escape that.

[vdova]

I certainly am.
