[When the video comes on, there's the view of an ocean or a lake or some body of water. There's a sniffling sound and then the camera turns to reveal Erin, her face pink, though it's unknown whether it's from the cold wind whipping around her or the fact that she's crying.]

I don't know where I am, or how I got here.

[She shakes her head

[Here, have a worried Rapunzel.]

You should try to get out of the wind!

[hairwasmyroom]

[She nods.] Yeah, I went inside for a bit, but nobody speaks English and I think it was a bar. They wanted me to buy stuff but I don't have their kind of money. So I came out here to see if anyone from the city knew where this place is based on the name on the sign that I can't pronounce.

[paints_lanterns]

I don't recognize that word either...

But it looks so cold there. Don't stay outside!

[hairwasmyroom]

I'll try to find somewhere else to go where they don't kick me out for not buying anything. Maybe they have a grocery store and I can browse for a few hours.

[ginnydor]

Oh no, Erin! You got teleported somewhere? I've heard this has been happening.

[ Ginny looks worried. ]

That sign...I don't know how to read it, it's not English, but that fourth letter looks like a rune. Like an eth. Or a daeg, depending on what you want to call it.

Are you in Norway or something?

[hairwasmyroom]

It has?

[Someone hasn't been paying attention lately.]

I could be? I dunno. It could be anywhere like that where it's cold. All I know is it's by water.

[ginnydor]

I've seen a few messages about it. People have been ending up all over the world.

You should try and find a town, I think! Somewhere warm where you could wait. Someone should be able to help you, or...if not, I think the Portal should bring you back eventually.

[hairwasmyroom]

I hope so. I was in this town for a little while, but I couldn't talk to anyone. And I couldn't buy anything so they kept shooing me out.

Oh my god, Erin.

Are you...are you on a freeway somewhere?

[hairwasmyroom]

Well there's this road heading out of town, but I'm not sure where it leads.

[pamnotpammy]

Maybe you should go back into town?

[hairwasmyroom]

I guess so. I can't buy anything though. They won't take my money.

[ Sounding increasingly frantic: ] Erin? Erin?! Where did you -- shoot, uh, does, uh -- okay I'm going to see if I can get a plane ticket or something... or... just sit tight I'm... I'm going to come get you, don't worry Erin, okay?

[hairwasmyroom]

Andy! You know where I am? This [She tries to say the name but it sounds like someone gargling mouthwash] place.

[acahellyeah]

Google says Iceland. Do you know if plane tickets to Iceland are expensive? Actually it doesn't matter. Flying might be faster, I should find someone who can fly.

voice

[hairwasmyroom]

Iceland. That makes sense. There's a lot of ice here. Wait, like fly-fly, like a bird? Andy, what if they drop you?

[humanjuicebox]

I think you're lost. [so adept]

[hairwasmyroom]

Well... yeah, I am. Andy said he'd come get me though.
