20. (voice post)

I do not like this...waiting.

Do your worst, Keepers. I am prepared for it. I had already died and suffered before you pretended to kill me again. There is nothing you can do to me that Arthas hasn't done already.

The move is yours. Or maybe it's mine? We'll just have to see who moves faster.

Arthas?

[darkrangerqueen]

My enemy, in my home world.

I don't recognize your voice. Who are you?

[digtastic]

O-Oh, sorry! My name's Rock Volnutt. It's nice to meet you, miss!

[darkrangerqueen]

[She sounds amused, although darkly.] Sylvanas Windrunner. Well met.

[digtastic]

How long have you been here, Miss Windrunner?

[darkrangerqueen]

...About two and a half months. [Dry, humorless chuckle.] The veterans have been here for at least a year. No one knows for certain if time here runs parallel to our own worlds'. Judging from how these beings can manipulate time, however, it may be possible to be returned to the moment we were snatched. But I do not cling to that hope.

How long have you been here...Rock?

[digtastic]

Yeah, I think so too. I got sent home and came back after a few days, but I was gone for three months here...

Before I got sent home? Um... I think it was seven months?

[darkrangerqueen]

Intriguing. Maybe I won't go back to a bloody coup after all.

[digtastic]

Is everything okay back at your home, Miss Windrunner?

[darkrangerqueen]

...

[She is speechless for at least five seconds.]

No, it isn't. In particular, my second-in-command is a known traitor. He will only serve me as long as I am there to hold his leash. Do you understand?

[digtastic]

Oh... sorry...

[darkrangerqueen]

It was a risk I took when I let him join me.

[She sighs.]

Nevermind all that. May I ask what you do for a living? What are you good at? You see, I'm part of a group that is trying to structure this place, and we need all the help we can get. I'd appreciate your input.

Well, I'm a Digger! Back home, diggers explore the ruins and sub-gates all over the planet to find anything valuable and sell it!

I'm pretty good at what I do, I think! Gramps was also a Digger, but he taught me a lot about researching the things I find.
