[First] - And When You're Gone

[radiant_will]

[Kallen awakens, and after a few hazy seconds, she gets the impression that something is Not Right. After getting up and checking the room, her more vague feelings of discomfort evolve quickly into freaking-out-now mode. This leads to her tearing apart the room for anything she actually recognizes, and with no luck there, she heads outside and onto

[oh hay]

...ah, greetings.

[radiant_will]

[Stares at him.]

…Yeah, hi. Do you live around here?

[fuelefficient]

Not on this street, no. I live on another.

[radiant_will]

But you live in this… town.

Look, I just appeared in some house where I don't actually live, and it's really damn confusing. Do you know what might have happened?

[katto_katto]

Hell is right.

[radiant_will]

I'd have expected a little more fire.

Anyway, can you be a little more specific?

[katto_katto]

Hell is 1950's America, in this place.

Assuming you know what America is, of course.

[radiant_will]

You're telling me I've gone back in time?

[stay_cool_bro]

[hello there neighbor. He's blinking at you from the house diagonal to yours.]

Uhhh...

[wave]

Yo!

[radiant_will]

[Returns the wave, awkward-like.]

Uh, hey there.

fff sorry, my notifs aren't working

[stay_cool_bro]

I'm Horohoro. You new?

No worries

[radiant_will]

Kallen, and yeah. I woke up just a little while back.

[kleinefurstin]

[oh hay we have a mommy now]

Ah, good morning.

[radiant_will]

[It's… not really that good of a morning to her, but she's not going to mention that.]

Morning.

…Oh. You're one of the people from the pictures.

[kleinefurstin]

I'm sorry if those caught you by surprise, they can be unnerving if you aren't used to them.

[radiant_will]

Yeah, a little bit. That's all right.

I'm Kallen. I guess I'll be living with you guys now.

[dynamic_may_lee]

... A lot.

What have you been told so far?

-She sees this kind of thing a lot, by the looks of things.-

[[ edited to clarify ]]

[radiant_will]

Well, let's see.

[She starts counting off with her fingers.]

I've appeared here for no explained reason, this placed is supposedly "America" in the 1950s, there's no way out, and I can't go after the guys responsible because they'll brainwash me.

You wanna add anything else?

[dynamic_may_lee]

Hmm... I guess the most important to add is that, in spite of all that, you shouldn't despair. We're working on a way out. It's a long time coming, though...

[radiant_will]

If you're working on a way to escape, I'd like to help. That'd be better than just waiting around.
