[...So, okay. This weird. Like not weird in the seeing-your-parents-naked-kind-of-way. But in the oh-my-god-I-really-am-in-outer-space-or-something-kind-of-way. It's a very specific feeling, and she's pretty much freaking out at the moment. But Darcy has collected herself enough to navigate the datapad to send a voice message to the network. Good

Political science? I didn't know there was science for politics. Do Users have science for everything?

[Despite his confusion, the headvoice sounds mostly amused. When he speaks physically, the smile in his voice is evident.]

Hi. The guy who brought us here probably isn't listening, sorry. You can find clothes with the droid in your apartment. Just ask them nicely and they'll give them to you.

[Voice]

[tasers_gods]

...Droid? You mean this tablet? [Whoa, that's super cool. Droids in space were way more advanced than the phones on earth. She could probably make money off of this.

...But how was it supposed to give her--ah.]

Oh. You mean the robot, don't you.

[Voice]

[tronja307020]

[He gives a bit of a laugh, shaking his head.] Oh, she can't see me, right. [And then she's figured it out on her own, and he nods...and then stops himself and rolls his eye at himself.] Smart, Tron. Keep nodding at air. That's totally useful.

Yeah, the robot. The "tablet" is referred to as a "datapad" here.

I'm Tron. What's your name?

Re: [Voice]

[tasers_gods]

Datapad. Um...and Google didn't make it? Or Apple?

[Hey, they're big companies. It's possible.]

Darcy Lewis. You're stuck here, too, Tron?

[shehulksmash]

[Oh, a fellow new arrival!]

Yeah.. the space thing is disorienting isn't it, just got here myself. You can ask the robot in your apartment for clothes. And apparently some guy kidnapped us to an alternate universe through space and time, without asking first. I find the latter kind of rude to be honest.

[She stops herself, as if realising something]

Oh--I'm Jennifer, hi!

[tasers_gods]

[The fact that this doesn't sound entirely implausible to her? It's a miracle. But after spending time with Thor and Jane...]

So...are we being held for ransom, or something? Because they aren't getting much out of my folks.

[Well, new arrivals have to stick together!]

--Hi. I'm Darcy. Nice to meet you, I think?

[shehulksmash]

[She turns on the video function on her end so she can smile and wave.]

Hi Darcy! Doesn't look like it, but yeah.. I'm new too.

[tasers_gods]

[Now that she's found some clothes, switching on video isn't such a no-no, but--

Wait...

That woman. Is green. Umm. Is that...normal?

She slowly waves back.]

Um, hi! I guess we're the lucky newbies?

[incaution]

Nah, all kinds of people get kidnapped and stuck here. If you ask the droids for some clothes, though, they'll get you some. One less thing you'll have to worry about.

[tasers_gods]

[You know? It really does help to not have to worry about basic necessities like clothing. A lot.]

Um...can I ask why we're kidnapped in the first place?

voice

[nonerfherders]

Actually political science should be quite a useful skill here. There's a lot of political manuvering going on, at multiple levels of sophistication.

And regardless, you're stuck. Sorry about that. There should be a droid nearby with clothes.

voice

[tasers_gods]

Oh, yeah? [OH. Well, then. Consider her interest piqued. Once she gets over this shock, that is.]

...When you say stuck, you don't mean like stuck stuck. Just...need to go hop the nearest Greyhound and I'll be home in a jif, right?

Re: voice

[nonerfherders]

Very much so. The locals aren't found of the Outworlders or vice-versa, there's tension between the government and the Jedi Council, the Jedi themselves are splintering, and there's an intergalactic war going on. It's a fascinating study, though it'd be more pleasing if it were an exercise and not something we were actually living through.

I meant stuck stuck. Sorry. We all are.

voice

[tasers_gods]

[Okay, splintering of councils is something she can get behind, given her experience in political science. But it's the intergalactic war part that's got her head rolling.]

Can I just be one of those people that kind of takes notes on what happens and helps out the people who actually do the fighting? Because wars--and being in them--isn't really my kind of thing.

Voice;

[hopehesnotcrazy]

[Wait...wait. Jane knows that voice. She fumbles with her datapad for a moment.] ...Darcy?

Voice;

[tasers_gods]

[Okay, that voice is definitely Jane. A wave of relief hits her.] Jane? Oh, thank god. So...I'm not going crazy, right? If you're here, too?

Voice;

[hopehesnotcrazy]

Well, I guess that all depends; being crazy might be something that helps you get through this.

We've all been kidnapped.

Voice;

[tasers_gods]

Through...what is this, exactly? I mean, I've got the whole you've-been-kidnapped-to-space-and-can't-go-home thing, but...we're still a little unclear on the what-we're-doing-here part.
