[There's a face peering at the device, frowning. Nose wrinkled, frustration in her eyes and a quickness to her tone. A hint of a short temper and a slight sense of worry. An urgency found only in the voice of people used to being on the run. She fights to keep her expression neutral, aiming for boredom. It comes off as impatience and annoyance.

She's outside, blue sky behind her and the sound of water nearby. The hum of a breeze just in the background.]

I want answers. I don't know where I am or how I got here. Last thing I remember, I was on a bus to Alaska.

[No, she wasn't. She was on her way to New Mexico but who knew if the Shop was listening or not. Better to be dishonest and safe than honest and dead.]

What happened? Who brought me here and why? The sooner I find out, the better. [A pause as she looks around, trying to gain some information as she does so. A sign of where she is or a way out.]

I really, really can't be here. It's important that I continue my trip.

[And there's fumbling with the device before it stops recording.]

[Charlie sighs, closing her eyes for a moment before looking at the device on her wrist.]

So I've learned.

If it's any consolation, this place is way more fun than Alaska. We had a moose. Lost it, sure, but we got rhinos instead, so...

[A shrug, as if that sentence was supposed to mean anything to anyone.]

A...hold on what? You had a rhino? Did it escape from a local zoo or something?

Nope. If anyone's the local zoo here it's us.

[But he should really drop the rhino thing. Mocking one newbie with them was enough.]

[She appreciates that. It would have made her head hurt.]

Except we don't get to see who's watching us and from what I can tell, the price of admission certainly isn't being used for habitat upkeep.

[He laughs. Well, huffs, but close enough.]

You're catching on. Kudos. They're big on 'don't feed the animals' here, apparently.

[She's a quick one.]

Thanks. I try. Now this place sounds like a zoo that just lost it's funding entirely. What do you mean they don't feed the animals here?

There was food. Last I heard it's being rationed by some well-meaning bugger or another.

[It's not something he keeps very careful tabs on. Being an angel has its advantages - specifically, not needing food and being able to make his own out of nothing.]

And that's within the village, b-t-dubs. Apparently the nice men in white haven't felt like providing us with more stock since we arrived.

That's bullshit. What good will it do them?

[He shrugs.]

Bit of entertainment when people get to the fighting over food stage?

That's definitely a new level of twisted for me.

Not for them.

So what am I supposed to do now, other than sit around and wait for shit to get worse? Because that doesn't seem like a good use of my time.

You can do other things in that time. Learn to knit, maybe.

Left my needles at home. [A half-smile. She's trying to make light of the situation a little but, honestly with the whole food situation? It's looking dire.]

You were gonna go to Alaska without knitting needles? For shame.

I don't think they'd let sharp objects on planes and I only have one bag.

Stick 'em in your hair and pretend they're pins.

I'll remember that for when I go home.

I'm always glad to help.
