[ Oh look, another person is fumbling with the tablet today. There's a short capture of the grey sky and a glimpse of bright red hair before a "clunk!" sound can be heard and a panicky-- ] Oh no! Did I brea-- [ The video stops there.

Several minutes later, the audio comes on. Whether it's by mistake or choice, who knows. You can still hear the rain coming down heavily and then a young girl's voice speaks up. The same one who was panicking not too long ago. ]

Hello? Is there anyone who can hear this? Hello? I'm-- [ her voice is almost hard to make out in the rain, so she talks louder: ] I don't know how I got up here and I'm stuck! Somebody on the street told me they were gonna come, but it's been forever and it's cold and raining and-- [ She sounds cold, tired and scared. ]

Can somebody come and get me down from the roof? [ A beat. ] Please?

[ ooc: max will be retrieving her! otherwise all network replies will be icly delayed by an hour or so. ]

You mean the mask? No, I just wear it to protect my identity. So I can help people without putting them in danger.

Help people?

Yeah. You know. Solve crime, hit bad guys. I would've gotten you down off the roof too if I'd known there was somebody in trouble. Guess that'll teach me not to check this thing every day, huh?

But you don't look like a cop. You're way too young. [ Says twelve year old Kate Kane. ]

Who said I was a cop?

And I'm definitely not too young. [ Yes, yes he is. ]

Then what are you?

Kinda like a security guard, I guess. Only it's the whole city we look after instead of just high-end jewelry stores.

There's no way.

You're making that up.

Yeah, maybe. [ It is a little weird, explaining Robin to civilians, even is they do ask first. With Batman there to be the ice breaker he's used to people getting it and moving on. ]

So you're completely new here, right? Never seen this place before today?

[ She looks away to examine her surroundings. ]

No, I've never been here before... I went to London last year, but England didn't look anything like this.

I don't think it's exactly England. At least not England the way we'd remember it.

[ And dropping that line of thought right there is probably better, for now. She seems awfully scared already. ]

Where're you from, anyway?

Uh... everywhere. [ It's always a bit hard to answer this. ] My dad's in the Army, so we moved a lot.

Maybe I'll go back to Gotham.

Gotham's not bad. And I'm from there, kind of.

[ Though her mentioning it makes him frown a little. ]

I haven't figured out yet if there's one in this dimension. This place is full of people who've never even heard of it.

Seriously?

That's impossible. Everyone knows about Gotham.

Yeah, I thought so too. But so far I've met maybe three that could've picked it out on a map. I don't get it either.

Who were they?

I talked to one kid who said he was from Crime Alley. And another lady I met the day I got here.

[ Girl Robin belongs somewhere up there in the running, but that's hardly a can of worms he's really in the mood to open just yet. ]

Crime Alley? [ She sounds shocked again. ] But... how does anyone live there? Isn't it supposed to be really awful?

It's just what he told me. [ Though his tone is a little uncertain. ]

Maybe it was a figure of speech. Anyway, this place doesn't seem too particular about who it pulls in. So you ending up here is probably just random too.

Do you think we'll go back?

Well, yeah. Of course we're going back.

[ Finally something he can say with conviction. ]

The key's getting to the transporter and then fixing it so it works the way they say it's supposed to. Then I'm gonna make sure it sends all of us home.

How're we supposed to fix it?

Well, that's what I have to find out somehow...

So you don't know.

I've only been at it a week.
