The free high-tech laptop is a nice touch, but the whole "let's get ready for a war" thing isn't. Though I guess the onslaught of monsters is pretty convincing...looks like you guys need all the help you can get!

...too bad you picked the wrong girl. Your warrior princess is in another castle, I'm just the magical support. Hi, the name's Kaycee, the girl you're looking for is named Ariel. Y'know, blonde hair...blue eyes...white... [she tugs on her ponytail of mussed up, black hair for emphasis] the people in charge of this place obviously missed their mark.

[she looks totally nonchalant and familiar with using technology. though honestly, she's from a time where touch-screens weren't as wide-spread but hey, she got her hands on an iPhone or two before technology became borked and she found herself in a shitty fantasy world.

nice to have something that reminds her of home. even if she graduated from a fantasy cliche to a science fiction one.

something seems to cross her mind and she shifts topics.]

Hey, when and if this monster infestation is all said and done, does anyone know a good river or lake or something? I need to get stoned.

And by stoned I mean like, find stones. Which I need. To throw at people. I'm being completely serious. If someone pops up and gives me a look I swear...it was a rock joke. And even if it wasn't a joke you're not my mother.

...wait, shit, is this London?

Wait did they tell us this or something because I have to admit I kind of zoned out for awhile.

[whatsupcroc]

It's Exsilium. Around one thousand three hundred years ago, this was London. They don't go over that so much as they say, "Welcome to our present, let's change the future together, and get comfortable because we're not sure how to send you home."

[stoning]

Why is it that places have no problems bringing you to a place, but when you want to go home they basically throw their hands up and go "Oh! We can't do that!"

Ugh, such a plot hole.

[whatsupcroc]

Probably because all of us who aren't dying or desperate would just leave again, and then where would time-traveling forces of rebellion be?

[stoning]

I dunno there might be some people from boring humdrum lives who'd want to stay in post apocalyptic England, fighting the good fight and whatnot.

[whatsupcroc]

Before or after their first battle where they're injured or their best friend gets an arrow through the knee?

[stoning]

Hey there are always the crazies.

[whatsupcroc]

I think we technically count among them.

Unless we ask if we're crazy, in which case we're totally sane.
