[On screen is Halfpipe with a smile that lights up the whole of her blue-tattooed face. She's in what looks to be a seedier district of the city, but not many Exiles are around.]

This place gets more and more like my world every day.

[At which she shifts the camera to focus on a point behind her--what several people will recognize as one of Exsilium's brothels.]

I'm curious, guys. How different is it here, compared to your homes? And if it is different, is it in good ways or bad ones?

Oh, and I'm Halfpipe, by the way.

Okay, so we agree to disagree. Who're you?

My name is Alice Liddell. A pleasure to meet you Miss... Halfpipe.

[sweetling]

You too, Alice, though the 'miss' is hardly necessary.

[bittertears]

Very well. Though If I may ask, where exactly did you come from?

[sweetling]

Outer City, though I doubt you've heard of it. One of many screwy versions of Earth.

You're correct in that I'm not familiar with the name. Though I would agree that most versions of Earth are quite "screwy".

[sweetling]

Eh, maybe in comparisons.

[bittertears]

Have you experienced life in multiple planets?

video;

[sweetling]

No, but I've heard about 'em.

video;

[bittertears]

Favorable stories, I would hope.

video;

[sweetling]

Not really.

video;

[bittertears]

Would there be a reason for that?

[sweetling]

Apparently there are a lot of shitty worlds.

[bittertears]

And just as equally displeasing people to inhabit them all, I'm sure.
