[The crumpled letter has a piece of paper inside which bears a strange symbol on it- a yellow orb of light. Like other similar packages containing immaterial things like magic, it will absorb itself into Marisa the moment she touches it. She'll be able to sense right away that it's healing magic- and whoever it originally belonged to was certainly powerful, because she'll be able to feel the strength practically begging to be let out again.]
Westport? Yeah. I was there last year. They showed it on TV being full of people we all knew living happy drone lives. A road opened up to it, but it was a war-torn wasteland. Some people got stuck there for awhile, too.
No. Everyone on that side was missing, or dead. But mostly it was empty. Only the hazmat men showed up a few days later, and the Milkman was there leaving usual poisoned deliveries.
Oh, that's Thor. He's a Norse god of thunder from the Outside World. I got him to punch a tree when he was claiming to be all powerful, yadda yadda yadda. It was funny. At least he won't try to murder you in your sleep.

I don't even know why he still does it here. Everyone is told the first day they get here to not touch that shit, and he still delivers anyway.

Guess that thing I live with is good for something other than threatening to stab me.

My "father" [ you can hear the quotes around that one ] is loud, annoying, and stupid.

At any rate, milk from the store is safe.

But what exactly is an alien? Something like a monster?
