[the feed flicks on, and there is a shot of little shiny shoes. it's stable for a moment before shaking slightly, as if someone is holding it and giving it a testing rattle. when nothing seems to change, the image becomes stationary again, focused on the small shoes and the (familiar looking? well, is it familiar looking to you?) ground underneath

You can write using this tablet, my friend. You are in the Underworld. We are all lost here.

[The writing on this thing has been mentioned before, and after flagrant key smashing and a whole lot of other issues with it, she was (more or less) getting used to it.]

We are in the Underworld. All of us were taken from our homes and there is supposedly no way home.

[suaveleather]

[divinelyhushed]
