[Early enough in the morning that it's clear someone couldn't get back to sleep, a series of doodles appear on the page: they're Sally's best estimate of the floor plan of her apartment, with little rudimentary sketches of furniture in various placements. Over the span of a half hour, several are drawn with different configurations and crossed out before one ends up circled. A check mark is drawn next to it for good measure.

She was too lazy to get out of bed and find real scrap paper, but she figured no one would care.

Much later in the morning, at a reasonable hour, Sally makes a voice recording.]


Right. I've got a question, much as I hate to ask it: since I've been a bit of a dosser when it comes to actually talking to people since I've come here, what with the rampant madness of...everything, and being busy with a few things, I've run short of friends who're willing to do me favors. That being said, I've several articles of heavy furniture that need to be moved up seven flights of stairs.

My usual find-help-moving-house tactic of offering free beer and crisps is moot here, but if there's anyone who can help me out, I'd be happy to negotiate some sort of payment. A favor in return, or something. As I said, I wouldn't ask, but...well. Some of you lot have magic and super strength, and I'm just a regular copper with one very slightly weak ankle. [A self-deprecating laugh that's a little more rueful than she intended. Sally really hates asking for help, but she also really wants her flat not to look like a room in a mental institution, so something had to give.] Thanks, everyone.

[In the afternoon, Sally can be found poking around the item shop, looking for home decorating items and some things she's hoping will show up from her world, and in the evening she'll be at the library doing some cursory research of other worlds and waiting for something interesting to jump out at her.]

Oh, yes. I stay in the attic with Mr Sparrow down at the beach. He's a pirate captain, you know. [...erk. And then hurriedly:] But he's a very nice pirate! I'm sure he hasn't broken too many laws.

It seems to be the one that stick with people the most.

Yes. Although I have been told we do not remember our time here, and the time I have spent here before attests to that fact, I do not intend to allow the same mistake to happen twice.

If I am going to be kidnapped and forced into these ridiculous experiments, I want to be capable of returning home with memories intact.

If that is the case, do not hesitate to contact me if you visit D.C.

Vivi, that's right!

Did any of your things from back home turn up? It's surprising sometimes the things you find here.
lostinmyway: (I know what I'm talking about.)

[She looks mildly surprised at the question.]

Oh, no, my memory is just fine.

[Er...Grune is not exactly a reliable narrator.]
lostinmyway: (Hmm I wonder....)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-05-02 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[And, to illustrate exactly how fine her memory is....]

...Now what were we going to do together?
immamartillo: (Hmmmm)

I don't think it's easy for anyone at first. It'd be weird if you were somehow used to stuff like this.

How long have ya been here?
truthin_bones: ([happy] i am all that)

[Her first statement gets a nod of approval. After encountering so many people willing to believe everything without doubt... it's nice to see there are more that think in a manner similar to her own.]

Have you been here long?

[personal profile] flickerflash 2012-05-04 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh it's very nice. It's big and it has lots of space to draw on the walls.

[More so when he's drunk.]

Easy for you to say, I always wind up with defective rocks and loud robots making a mess of them.

Huh. I'm not sure if that's somethin' I should congratulate you on or not.

About seven or eight months, I think.
lostinmyway: (Oh my isn't this lovely?)

[personal profile] lostinmyway 2012-05-05 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. I'll be there soon!

[...She feels as though she's forgetting something. Something else she needs to do?]

It seems to be a common misconception around here.

If they're too round it's like trying to stack soap. Most of the time they just seem to have their own balance all wrong.

[He says it so seriously too.]
