So, stop me if you've heard this one before. An orc walks into a bar with a parrot. "That's neat," says the bartender, "where'd you get it?"

"In a cave," says the parrot.

[Despite the joke, Fortescue is terribly unamused by the situation. Her breathing is on the heavy side, labored by some heavy bruising from being slammed into a tunnel wall by a baby dragon. On the plus side of that whole debacle, she's fireproof when she wants to be.

On the minus... well, there's a lot of minuses. She's tired, needs a drink, and the best weapon she has is a sword. Which she's not really trained to use, but it's better than nothing. Because her own personal hell is stalking through these tunnels. She can hear them occasionally, and she's kept on the move to try and stay ahead of them.

Speaking of which, a loud, echoing click comes from somewhere behind her — probably — and she stumbles back into a brisk walk. All the color's drained from her face, which is why this is an audio broadcast. Still, she can't help her shaky tone. Bad memories come with every click.

Jazz is curled tightly around her shoulders. He's extremely at risk in this situation.]


Anyone find something interesting in here? Other than our fellow captives, of course. They're very interesting, what with their trying to rend our flesh from our bones. I've never cared for centipedes and I like them even less when they're big enough to wrap around my leg.

[Her day had been going so quietly. Well, mostly. As quiet as the Center gets. Sometimes that's pretty damned quiet. But today, as Fortescue is attempting to scrounge up some lunch, she discovers something in the fridge that she hopes no one in the Center classifies as food.

It has two mouths. And tentacles. And bright colors that would be rather pretty, if it wasn't snarling its head off. Luckily, her reaction time is faster than those tentacles, and she gets the door closed before she has to worry about whether or not the tentacles have toothy suckers on them.

But now it's in the refrigerator, with the food, and she has to think of a game plan. It's not a game plan that comes to mind, either, as she clicks her phone on. Tendrils of shadow are keeping the door firmly shut, which means her concentration is split between the phone and her magic.]


So, you lot. [Yes, you.] I've been thinking. We seem to have a hard time of keeping track of everyone's comings and goings, which makes this place all the more confusing. [The refrigerator snarls and shakes, but she keeps going.] There were plans for a buddy system in the past, but that doesn't work if both disappear. Does anyone have any bright ideas? Perhaps some sort of sheet to check into, every day, in a centralized space?

Obviously it will only work if people use it. [Snarl!] I'm all ears, darlings. What do we think?

[While she figures out what to do with squidzilla. She's far too sober for this.]

Some tl;dr about Edward arriving. )

[The device is simple enough for him to understand. Edward wavers between text or voice - he's loathe to show his face to a group of strangers, especially considering how obviously not human he looks. It usually isn't a problem when he's with his family - whether it was intimidation or awe that made people keep their distance, it doesn't matter. He needs to be careful, more careful than he's ever been before.

Nodding to himself, he presses a button to turn on the voice option. There's a short pause of silence as he agonizes over what to say.
]

I suppose an introduction would be in order. [ He clears his throat, truly an unneeded action but it's a force of habit. ] My name is Edward - a recent arrival. I'm aware of where I am, but unfortunately it still leaves me with many unanswered questions. [ And for someone who is so used to knowing so much, it's more than a little disturbing. He chuckles softly at himself, so soft that many wouldn't be able to catch it unless their own hearing is supernatural in nature. ] I assume that's usually the case when someone arrives. If anyone could get into contact with me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, now. Think I finally got the hang of this thing.

[He gives the camera an easy smile as he settles in, seated in the room he's claimed for himself with his feet up on the table, legs crossed. Perfectly at home, despite the cold and potentially sterile environment. Sure beats Purgatory, anyway.]

Wonderin' if there's anyone I can talk to about gettin' some grub in this place. Not tryin' to be a princess or anything, but I've got some special dietary needs. Would sure appreciate anyone who could lend a hand.

[That said--]

Now. [His smile fades just a little bit, gaze growing just a touch more serious. Somber never quite fit him, but this will do.] I hear some of you have been to a little place called Purgatory. Y'all should give me a ring, when you've got the time. We may just have some friends in common.

[Translation: Dean, get on the horn now.]
