[Hang on a second, this isn't - oh. OH. She recognizes this place. It's the last place she ever wanted to see again but...she's in Mayfield

More impressive is that it was only a few days on my part. Perhaps if I were to calculate exactly how long I have been away, I could arrive at a time conversion rate?
...But I suspect that given the irrationality of Mayfield as a whole, that may not work as well as I would expect.
... At least you get right to the point. For that I will comply with your request.
*Alice explains the last six months starting from the beginning in extreme detail. She leaves out all personal experiences, however, and only talks about the affects that the town as a whole has suffered.*
From my perspective, hearing that nothing has changed is good news, because it means I more or less have an idea of what to expect and therefore something of an advantage.
That is because the urge to panic overrides logic in most instances. If more people simply took the time required of them to calm down and look at their situation rationally, I am certain there would be less panicking and more constructive questions asked.
What is it that requires repetition? Do you know how far back I have had to tone my vocabulary in order to be understood?! Do you realize how much effort it takes for me to speak in this manner?! What I said was perfectly clear, and if you could not understand it then it is simply a matter of your own inability to pay attention or to understand simple syntax!

Um, um! Please calm down! I can understand simple syntax just fine! Although maybe if you would write down everything that you said to me, I would be able to follow you a little more clearer...?

[And following Alice's explanation:]
Thank you very much. It seems like very little has changed since I was here last, though the implications of that are far from comforting.
