[The communicator shakes around and is set down on top of something. A shot is seen of Imoen's dusty, well-worn boots, and the apartment. It seems the broken glass she spoke of earlier was cleaned up]

Okay... I hope this works right! I can't believe people can see simul-

Uh... are you alright?

[lilredsorceress]

Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm just fine! I just... well, I kinda cut my hand on all the broken glass from the window. I kinda cut it a lot.

It won't stop bleeding yet, do you know any clerics?

[proudapprentice]

Wh-what, Clerics?

Ne-nevermind, you should go to the hospital and get it looked at!

[lilredsorceress]

A cleric is a priest, and they pray to their gods, and they get healing magic!

It's alright! It stopped now. It didn't bleed too much, it just wouldn't stop for a little bit. It's all scabbed up, but it'll hurt to hold my bow for a lil' while.

[lyraofoxford]

Why do you keep stopping?

[lilredsorceress]

I keep stopping? I wasn't meaning to. Maybe the funny box did that. I'm not quite sure how to do everything with it yet.

[lyraofoxford]

It looks like you stopping, not the picture...

[lilredsorceress]

Huh... Well, since I'm a mage, I've got this spell? It's called time stop, but it stops time for like half a minute. Was I stopping that long?

And I mean... if there are any other mages like me, I don't think they can do magic if I can't. Least I hope not.

[whiteduplicity]

. . .

[thinks there... must be something wrong with his communicator. yeah.]

... Um. I'm willing to learn..

[lilredsorceress]

Oh, yay! Good! Um, hunting or rain barrels? Or salting meat? Or all of them? Rain barrels are best if you're not used to cooking or hunting anything.

[whiteduplicity]

Ah, right! Learning how to make rain barrels and to salt meat would be appreciated.. If it's not too much trouble, that is.

[lilredsorceress]

Oh, not at all! I'm really just waiting until someone comes to help me get outta here, and then I can get together some people so we can find the materials.

I'm brand-new, so any help finding where we can get big containers, nails, a hammer, and some cloth for the barrels, and as much salt and spices as we can find, would be amazing. If you're not sure, do you know anyone else?

[Patchy notices it. When she pauses, she is frozen in place, exactly where she was. Almost like how a person from her world once described...]

I am not certain why, but it seemed as though you were pausing at several moments.

[Voice]

[lilredsorceress]

I was? That's... weird. I wasn't trying to. A lot of people keep saying that, so maybe it's true.

I wonder if there are any mages here, other'n me. Who know time stop. But... they'd... they couldn't do their magic either, right?

Re: [Voice]

[lilredsorceress]

Yeah, Lyra was saying that too. I hope they're okay. That kind of magic can be really dangerous if left unchecked.

Maybe they're nearby. I may have to go check it out...

[nomnomguts]

[Actually not from an easy squishy life, but interested by that pausing. And the mention of salting meat.]

Ah... I do believe I would be interested in learning how to make jerky~ Are you aware that you have been... pausing?

[lilredsorceress]

Good! Jerky can get boring after a while, but meat keeps you going better'n hard-tack can, and jerky lasts pretty much forever, as long as you keep it in a safe, dry place.

Y-yeah. People keep telling me that I've been pausing. Not quite sure why...

[nomnomguts]

Ah~ human food is so very interesting... I hope the materials for making it won't be too difficult to obtain here.

Mm, apparently this is happening to many people.

[lilredsorceress]

Just needs salt, meat that hasn't gone green, and some spices. Shouldn't be too hard to find, 'cept maybe the meat. This looks like it was a big enough city, so we can cross our fingers!

It is? Oh good, it's not just me!
