First Lance - [video]

[The rat woman who may have been seen atop various buildings across the city appears on the screen, sans hat, looking unsure for a moment before appearing to realize the feed is working correctly. She clears her throat quietly before speaking in a serious manner.]

I have a question for you all, if you would be so kind as to answer.

There seem to be many worlds represented in this city, but I have noticed that there are many from a planet called Earth. I am from the planet Gaia, but I have yet to meet anyone from my world, be it the same or an alternate version.

So my question is: What world are you from, and is it similar to this place we've found ourselves in? I would like to see if there is any correlation between the home worlds of people brought here.

Yes. We have not had to worry about famine in a very long time, as far as I'm aware.

It is. [To both statements.] But I fear that in all my traveling, I have not been able to appreciate my home as I should. [She won't take it for granted again, that's for sure. She supposes she should be grateful it wasn't completely obliterated like the neighboring kingdom...]

Good. Guess the plants and everyone would have adapted to all that anyhow, can't have started overnight.

Being away from a place does that to you. I hear, anyway. It's still there for you to go back to and appreciate, right?

[Errr.]

I suppose so, yes. [In... a roundabout way. She does plan to go back to help rebuild, anyway...?] But I suppose that will have to wait until we find a way back to our worlds.

[probably counts :|b] Guess so. Kind of blanking on how we manage that, though.

At the least, if we are unable to find our own way, I hope the people of this city will make good on their promise to return us.

[But she's not going to wait around doing nothing.] I suppose we will simply have to search for our own answers if we wish to leave sooner. [Translation: your guess is as good as mine.]

You'd hope so.

[he nods, making a bit of a face.] Best way to be sure they're right, though. So I guess… maybe the first thing to do would be to figure out how they're reaching across our worlds in the first place.

That would likely be helpful, yes. Though depending on what sort of magic or technology they use, we might need to find someone knowledgeable enough to comprehend it before it is of any use to us...

Yeah. The places seems close enough I could probably figure how how to use most of it, but… it we need to rework something, we might need someone who knows their way around all that.

[She sighs.]

I suppose plans will only do so much if we can't act. I'll do what I can to find more information in the meantime.

Yeah, sounds like a good plan. Let's see what we can find and talk it over later.

Alright. I hope we'll speak again soon, Davesprite.
