[It hadn't taken her long to figure out the phone, but even if she knew how to use it she was determined to wait. Maybe she would run into someone in person and get better answers about where she was.

She was damn sure it wasn't where she was supposed to be.

Her attempt to leave the room was good until the door was about to close behind her and a red blob appeared out of nowhere. A quick slap didn't deter it and she quickly retreated back behind the door for a temporary reprieve.

Time for answers.]

Where am I? 'Cause this wasn't where I was before that dick interfered so I don't know why I'm here. [She has places to be. Kind of. The phone moves back a little and it's obvious that Jo is leaning against a door that has something banging against the other side.]

And what's with the red blubber? [Sooner or later it's going to get underneath the door, isn't it?]

Comments

[hackr]

Well, they were sentient, only wanted to suck your face, weirdly. I think they did funny things to people who had the misfortune of having that kind of contact, but I'm not really sure what happened. Just acting out of the ordinary, I guess, but I don't know what their ordinary would be.

[ She shakes her head. ]

Sorry. I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this.

[foundacause]

[ It's a totally accurate nickname for them both. Decide for yourself which is which. They can both be pretty dumb. ]

Just follow the trail of angst and daddy issues and you'll be sure to find them.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo laughs quietly despite the situation.]

Not a lot of people are. It's okay.

[knifecollecting]

[That sounds horrible.]

I'll keep them away from my face. [She just got here. There's no way she's getting into trouble - if she can help it.]

Thanks for the info.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

[Jo's not adopting the nicknames.]

I'll see.

[seraphique]

Based on your accent...is it somewhere in America?

[Her own is a bit strange - not quite Swedish anymore but not Parisian, either. She's very clearly European, at the very least.]

[ video ]

[foundacause]

The angel's here too.

Sorry to say your Mom's not here anymore. Actually, no. Not sorry. Glad to see the back of the bitch.

[ Things happened. It was not fun. ]

[knifecollecting]

Yeah. I guess I coulda just said America. [She shrugs and shifts against the door.]

What part of Europe are you from?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

[Hm.]

Don't you dare talk about my mom like that.

[seraphique]

That's lovely. I'd like to visit it some day...if I can.

[Perhaps, if she found a way out of this place and got to go home, she could go away there with Raoul for a while, forget the horrors the Phantom - Erik - inflicted on her, then return to her life's work.]

I'm originally from Sweden, but my father and I moved from there quite early on. We did a lot of traveling. I live in Paris now.

[knifecollecting]

It's a nice place. [Most of the time.]

I'm sure Paris is nice.

[wolfofmidgard]

Yes. I'm afraid so. It does give us plenty of food, at least. I suppose it must like us. But the downside is... [She makes a gesture in the direction of the jello.] Things like that tend to happen on a weekly basis. You have to be as ready for them as possible.

[video]

[knifecollecting]

At least we won't starve. [Though she's not actually sure that's worth it.]

There's always something going on?

[video]

[wolfofmidgard]

[Meja wouldn't starve to death. Can't. But she wouldn't like to see others starve. That's part of why she's growing things. Just in case the food supply does dry up.]

At times, it's quiet enough, I suppose. But these things always start up eventually. It makes the quiet somewhat... disturbing by comparison, if you ask me. But I digress. It's not all that bad. We do have an interesting group of fellow prisoners.

[knifecollecting]

How many people are here?

[ video ]

[foundacause]

Why not? What are you going to do to me, little girl?

[hackr]

No problem, Jo. [ She smiles warily, more at the situation itself than the other young woman. ]

There's a machine that I'm more worried about, a machine that gives and sometimes punishes everyone here.

[ Late Winchester is late.

He's just gonna gawp for a minute. He's quickly learning that this place can bring people from different points in their timeline, but talk about a blast from the past!

He still feels guilty! ]

Jo?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

[This isn't how people treat their besties, Meg.]

I guess we'll see when I get the chance.

[knifecollecting]

[A shrug.]

The one that used to be run by the scientists? [Someone mentioned that earlier.]

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

[Technically she just saw him a few hours ago, but it's still nice to see him when he's not asking her questions about why Dean doesn't deserve to die.]

Hey, Sam.

[ video ]

[lost_my_shoe]

[ It's... been awhile for Sam. It shows. He looks older and really he looks kinda tired. ]

It's good to see you. [ Even if the circumstances are less than fun. ]

It's been awhile...

[ video ]

[foundacause]

[ What? Nonsense! Of course it is! ]

Good luck with that, Sugar.

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

[She's just picked up on that.]

...How long?

[ video ]

[knifecollecting]

Don't worry about me.
