[For a moment, nothing happens. The camera is focused on a patch of grass. There are rustling sounds and a woman's voice mutters indistinguishably to herself, and eventually the journal is righted so that the camera focuses on Sally's face. There is a leaf in her hair. She does not look happy.]

Right, I think I've worked out what this thing does, and I just want to say that if this is someone's idea of a joke, I'm not laughing. See this? [She lifts up a police badge containing her ID.] This is a police badge. It's my police badge, yeah? It says I'm Sergeant Sally Donovan of London PD, which means that when I find out who's responsible for this, for...this [She gestures down the length of her body, at the dress that isn't hers] and for this [She turns the journal to take in the unfamiliar surroundings] and I don't even know how to start about this [She jerks her thumb over her shoulder at the pair of dark brown wings that definitely aren't supposed to be there] that person or persons are in a world of trouble.

My advice to you, whoever you are, is to come forward immediately. That's less trouble on my part and a lighter sentence for you, so it's in everyone's best interest. Do not make me find you.

[Sally fumes silently for a moment, and when she decides her point has been made, the recording ends.]

[Sally's had too many ordinary-looking people... here's a polite girl with bright pink hair.]

I'm afraid they won't respond to you no matter what your occupation was... Everyone who uses these journals normally is in the same situation as you are.

I'm starting to see as much... [About done with unproductive complaining as she is, it takes Sally a moment to work out what to say next.] What's your name?

My name is Estelle. I've been here for some time, so I'd be happy to answer any questions I'm able to.

Thanks. Nice to meet you, Estelle.

It's nice to meet you as well, under the circumstances. I hope you settle in easily.

Thanks. Where do you come from, then?

My world is called Terca Lumireis. I'm from the capital city, Zaphias.

Never heard of it, but it has a nice ring.

I'm from a city called London in the country England on the planet Earth, but that probably doesn't mean much to you either.

Well, I have had the opportunity to read about it in the library. Most of the people living here are from Earth so most of the collection also comes from there.

Does it? [That's good to know; at least something's familiar.] I'll have to take a look. Is there anything from your world, or other worlds? It'd be nice to familiarize myself with where some of the locals come from.

Yes, new books come in all the time! Though I'm afraid we don't have anything on this world.

Oh. Of course not.

For that, the other residents are the best resources.

Everyone's been very helpful so far; I'm glad for that, at least.
