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.

[BUT GUESS WHO'S NOT GOING TO ALLOW THIS TO GET SERIOUS

this chick. she sits back from the camera and make a vague waving motion at the screen.]

So, what's your name?

I introduced myself to everyone and so far I got a lot of responses, but no introductions back.

[inanimates]

Oh! Right. I'm, uh. Martin. I'm new here too, I guess.

[stoning]

And how are you liking post apocalyptic not-England, Marty?

[inanimates]

It could use some work.

[stoning]

Like a new paint job, right?

And less rain. I hate rain. My hair and rain do not mix well I'm going to look like the Bride of Frankenstein in about a week.

[inanimates]

At least you'd fit in with the other monsters?

[stoning]

Hah. Hah...actually maybe that's an idea.

I pretend I'm one of them and maybe they won't attack me.

[inanimates]

But... why would you want to do that?

[stoning]

So many questions, McFly.

[inanimates]

McFly? Who is that? Some rapper name? Did–did you just call me by a rapper's name?

[stoning]

Marty McFly...

[GIVING YOU AN INCREDULOUS LOOK]

From Back to the Future? No?

Wow alternate dimensions are so annoying I thought I finally found someone who'd get my lame-ass quips.

But for the record [points at the screen] I think you're totally fly enough to be a rapper.

...no I'm kidding.

I always wanted to be a rock star, anyway.

[HAha wow that was a horrible attempt at a joke. SHOULD HE APOLOGIZE?? Best to see how she'll react.]

[stoning]

You should grow a mullet and then we'll talk about the whole rock star thing.

video;

[inanimates]

Please, no rock stars have mullets anymore.

video;

[stoning]

Uh says you.

video;

[inanimates]

No, I'm pretty sure there's photographic proof.

video;

[stoning]

Well I guess they aren't rock stars then.

[CROSSES ARMS DEFIANTLY she's obviously not taking this seriously.]

video;

[inanimates]

I'm almost certain they'd object to that.
