Mom, I--
[There's a surprised yell, and the sound of someone falling over.]
Mom?!
[This isn't the cave. This isn't the cave, there isn't a small campfire, and her mother and brother aren't anywhere to be found.

I realize this must be very frightening... but please, try and calm yourself.
What is your mother's name? Maybe I can help you find her, if she's been brought here as well.

Unfortunately, calming down is the last thing she plans on doing right now. As far as she knows, you might be the person who sent those missiles after the plane they were in earlier.]
Who are you? Where--where is everybody? What happened to them?!

My name is Hakkai. I'm not certain where your companions are, I'm afraid... I arrived here just as you did. But if you could give me their names, I could make an attempt to see whether or not they were here, as well.

She needs to protect herself and her identity, and she can't go and reveal the names of her mother and brother, too. Their identities are just as important as hers, and calling them by any superhero names could have a negative impact, as well.]
What is this place?

That's a weird word to have for a name.

He's called 'The Dash', it's--[Well, Dash is his nickname, but how can she say it without giving away his identity or her own.] He's some kind of superhero, I think.
[And she just called her brother a superhero. She feels kind of ridiculous, now.]

[Don't even worry Violet. The superhero thing went right over his head.]

Zhaneel is trekking down the dusty street when the call comes over the communicator, the voice both decidedly young and certainly fearful.
She listens to the interchange between Hakkai and Violet before her own soft voice speaks up.]
I do not know the world you come from, kitling, but .. if you had powers of any kind there, you should be warned that they will no longer work..
[Her voice is consoling and there is an unmistakable apologetic tone to it.]
A good many of us found this out the hard way .. We have been told they may be regained, although there is something about this place and our natural magics that do not precisely coincide with one another... Your abilities will not be at their full power even if you get them back.
[Oh Zhaneel .. ( ... )

Still, she takes in the information and takes a moment to try and become invisible - nothing. She tries to form a quick force field around her communicator and...nothing! This is bad.
As much as Violet longs to be normal, being powerless in a place like this is not a good thing.]

Her head bobs and she grinds her beak slightly. Isn't that a wholly pleasant sound, Vi? She continues, her voice soft and consoling.]
You should be forewarned, kitling .. there are those of us here that are non-human, myself included. We are not the monsters that you have been summoned to fend off, but .. I thought it best you know of us before anything occurs.
