[She's new, obviously, and looking a little distressed as she tries to figure out the communicator well enough to make some use of it. Sitting down by the shipyard, her blonde hair is tied back in a messy ponytail, trying to keep it from getting in her face as she tries to figure out what's going on here.]

Excuse me... [A good start, right? Polite.] I'm a recent arrival to this place and would appreciate any information I could be given on it. It's not quite right for anywhere I know of home.

[It's short, but effective, she hopes. Canada then more or less repeats herself in French, then German and Russian and Japanese, the first languages that come to mind for good international communications.

But just to be safe, she tries text, too:]

Information and/or assistance in returning home would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Why did you change your hairstyle, Canada, it is now 75% harder to put a name to the face right off the bat

The French helps, but still.]

America's Russian would never be that good so... [Give her a moment, dear...]

[mounties]

[Canada lets out a little gasp, obviously surprised to see her of all people here. Not that she minds, of course. Familiarity is good.]

England! It's Canada. You're here, too?

You're stuck here.
We all are.
Sorry.

[mounties]

I see. Thank you.
Where is 'here', approximately?

[song_princess]

From what I know you are in a place called Discedo.

I do not know of a way home as I just arrived myself a few days ago.

[mounties]

Okay, thank you.

May I ask where you're from?

[ America has no idea who the hell this is, other than she's a cute girl who can apparently speak French, German, Demon, and some Asian-sounding language who knows. All she needs to know is that some hippie-looking guy with a big grin is waving at her.

Also his right hand is a chainsaw but don't mind that. ]

First things first: this ain't anywhere close to home. It's a way-off place in a galaxy I haven't explored yet but will some day! Eventually. Soon as I get back to my own home.

Lots of other important stuff, but the second thing is the one people seriously need to know: I'm a certified Hero, so if ya ever need some saving, don't be afraid to give me a holler!

Now should I give ya the full low-down or are you still letting the "I'm in another universe talking to a nation" thing sink in?

[mounties]

[This whole thing is slightly distressing, but at least the hippie in question seems ridiculous (and somehow familiar) enough that maybe, if she can find some humour in the situation, she can just roll with it.]

Sorry, but you're going to have to do better than that to shock me. I talk to nations all the time. Not always in other universes, but you know...

[bauhinia]

[ Hello not-sister. Although he does not know this yet. ]

That returning home part's gonna be kinda tough.

[video; English]

[mounties]

[But soon.

For now, she's wrinkling her nose.]

That's a little... depressing, but at least the people here seem honest about things.

[reobserves]

Did anyone else already tell you some information?

[ text ]

[mounties]

Discedo, danger, don't talk to men with strange eyebrows? Not much that's fitting together very well, admittedly.

[ Video ]

[lightonhisfeet]

Yeah, uh. Sorry, but there isn't really...a way home. That I know of. People just kind of told me I was stuck here, so...







Oh, right. Also, make sure you watch out for monsters? They're pretty...vicious.

[mounties]

do you know what... sort of monsters I ought to be looking out for, by any chance? Or just monsters in general?

[video]

[ilyana]

Umm... I'm sorry... but I don't know of a way home either. I'm not even sure if there is one...

[video]

[mounties]

Thanks. Er. Well, there's a lot of people here. Maybe if everyone works together... or maybe some people already have some ideas or... something.

[tapdancinskelly]

Yohohoho! Welcome to Discedo! Well, if you're in Discedo anyways... if not I suppose the world itself is called Fortuna. Anyways, I'm Brooke, Brooke the not so skeletal bard! At your service. Yohohoho!

[video]

[mounties]

Ah, thank you, Brooke. [This is just adding to her ever-growing confusion.]

I-if you wouldn't mind my asking, what does not being skeletal have to do with anything?

Pardon him, Canada, but England's squinting stupidly at the feed, not quite realizing it's transmitting.]

[meilihua]

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

...wow, you know a lot of languages...

[mounties]

Thanks. Ah... I deal with a lot of people of different nationalities, so I try to be as accommodating as possible. I guess I have a bit of a knack for it.

[Immigrants have always meant that she can have an excuse to study a new language for a few months, while the rest of the world ignores her.]

[Video / English]

[loyal_cube]

[A young man gives a bow of his head, understanding two of said languages very clearly. He'll use English, as it's the first used.]

I'm sorry to inform you, but you're on a planet called Fortuna. There is a group of scientists who have brought us here. Their intentions are not clear, but they do tend to take care of us.

it's very important you find shelter as soon as possible. There are creatures lurking about that-

[Suddenly, he sneezes... then looks a bit embarrassed.]

Ah, excuse me.

A-As I was saying, it's best you find shelter as soon as po-possi [And he sneezes again.]

I-I'm sorry.

If you need directions, I'll do my best to assist you.

[mounties]

[While she appreciates the information, there are more pressing things.]

Oh, bless you. Are you alright?

[sthenic]

Er.. sorry to say, but you can't just return home. I'd be outta here if we could.

[mounties]

Well, that's dandy. But thanks.

[video]

[paprikaholic]

Welcome to Fortuna. Don't expect to enjoy it.

[video]

[mounties]

At least the people are honest here.

[This is a very, very resigned sigh.]
