[The video clicks on at an odd angle, first catching a flash of feet (or rather legs disappearing in the floodwaters) as it tilts upward, past a leather clad torso and finally unsteadily framing a rather damp, rather irritated looking woman. On closer inspection, she almost looks--tired.]

I seem to have arrived at a rather unfortunate time. I don't suppose there's anyone willing to direct me somewhere dry.

I'm far past the point of questioning how exactly they're doing it. I've seen too many strange things for that by now.

All I want is for them to finally let us go home already.

[She's seen more than a few strange things in her life, and she intends to treat this one no differently. It's simply another puzzle for her to figure out.]

They've likely brought us here for a reason. Some sort of experiment, perhaps. I imagine when we're no longer of use to them, we'll be allowed to leave.

They have weird standards then as to who they keep around for a long time and who they let go after only a little bit.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Perhaps they're hoping to find something specific.

[Video]

[entreats]

I wonder what exactly it could even be that they're looking for then.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

It's possible they're not entirely certain themselves. Or perhaps we've simply been brought here to provide them amusement.

Now that last thing is something that wouldn't surprise me. It's happened to me enough by now, I'm just too popular.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

It would explain the games they play, the strange weather patterns.

The dinosaurs, the ghosts, the weird dark spaces.. [ just summing up things that happened over time. ]

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

[That earns a raised eyebrow.]

It seems I'm in for an interesting time.

The longer you stay, the more you get to see.

So.. unless you have that much curiosity, I hope you'll be able to get out of here soon enough.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I hope the same for you, as well.

[Video]

[entreats]

I'm not counting on much in my cases.

... My name is Ange, by the way. Ange Ushiromiya.

[lifewithoutrest]

[She gives a slight bow of acknowledgement.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Doctor Helen Magnus.

[Video]

[entreats]

... You're a doctor? [ there's nothing but a slight nod from Ange - she's not very social, sob. ]

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I am. I hope my skills might be of service here.

[Video]

[entreats]

Don't worry, with all the stuff that happens here I'm sure plenty of people could use a doctor. Not to mention the chips..

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Yes, I've heard about those. Do people often have them removed?

[Video]

[entreats]

It depends on whether people care enough about their powers or not, or whether people had powers to begin with. Weird stuff has happened before to people without chips, so removing it without a good reason is just inconvenient.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I see. I'll keep that in mind.
