[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.

Yup, yup, and what. Aren't you a little old be to waiting for your ma?

Anyway, there's some other things you should know. Death ain't a permanent state of affairs here, not for anyone. Human, country, vampire, or otherwise. Can be really good or really unfortunate depending on who bit the dust.

And fog? You gotta be real wary of that. It could just be normal mist... but it's almost certainly a signal for bad things to come. And I mean really bad. That's saying something considering a lot of days around here can be bad days.

Let's see, what else... my embassy is on Marshall Street – the apartments, so if you're a U.S. citizen, that's the place to be! 'Course there's others in there too, other countries and some trolls and once there were talking turtles too.

[mounties]

Ah... Your embassy? I hardly think you-- Did you say talking turtles?

[Successfully derailed. This may take a while.]

[starspangledhero]

Yeah, they were some cool dudes! Even better, they were New Yorkers.

[mounties]

Talking turtles from New York.

I'll have to remember not to be surprised if I ever encounter them while visiting there.

[starspangledhero]

Ah, so I take it you're a regular visitor then? Just can't pry yourself away from the all the dazzling lights and sights, huh!
