[And here's your other daughter, walking past Eva's room with a little blue penguin riding on her shoulder.]

...Hello?

[freedomofwomen]

[ ... Blue penguins. And she thought the amount of sense the day made had already gone down the drain back home. Eva stands corrected. ]

You.. were part of those pictures too.. [ She's too busy being unsure over this deal to really continue raging. ]

[noneed_2worry]

Yeah... that's kind of a long story.

[freedomofwomen]

I think that I'm more than ready to hear it by now.

[noneed_2worry]

Well... this town is called Mayfield. People just wake up here in a random house with other people that have been brought here. Nobody really knows how it happens, but most people think it's magic or something like that. There are some people called drones who think they were born and grew up here their whole lives, but there's also a lot of other people like us around. Oh, and the drones will treat us like we're actually family.

...And sometimes really dangerous stuff happens and people get killed.

[freedomofwomen]

...

[ The information flood pretty much stuns her into silence for a good moment until she shakes her head to snap herself out of it. ]

'Magic'. [ A huff. ] All of this is so ridiculous it might as well be a delusion.

[noneed_2worry]

If it is, it's definitely the longest dream I've ever had.

[She laughs, trying to keep good humor about this, but there's also a lot of sadness in it.]

[freedomofwomen]

[ Aaaawkward silence once more. Then Eva just sighs. ]

I suppose I should introduce myself then if we're to live in the same house. [ Sobsob, she doesn't want new family, she just wants Hideyoshi and George back.. ] Ushiromiya Eva.

[noneed_2worry]

Nice to meet you. My name's Dawn.

Pip pip!

Oh, and this is Piplup!

[freedomofwomen]

Ah, is that your.. pet?

[ Small blue penguins making a 'pip pip' sound. She's starting to get pretty sure that nothing will surprise her after this. ]

[noneed_2worry]

More like partners, but yeah. Oh, I also have a rabbit named Buneary and a squirrel named Pachirisu, but they usually just stay in their Pokeballs.

[She unfastens and holds out her two Pokeballs for Eva to see.]

[freedomofwomen]

So you keep them in there.. Hmm, I think I'm starting to understand.

[ Because things here are suddenly much easier when you just let go of common sense. At least Eva's trying to put on a bit of a lighter air already. ]

[noneed_2worry]

If you don't like animals, I'll make sure they don't bother you. I'm used to that.

[freedomofwomen]

A-ah.. No, it's fine. My husband suggested it a few times, but we never had pets..

[ Except that Hideyoshi is.. sort of a sensitive subject for her so she quickly changes it. ]

I suppose we should let our stay here be as profitable for everyone as possible, hm? So as long as they don't cause trouble it should be fine.

[noneed_2worry]

Ah...

[Remembering the utter chaos that was last week when Nena let them out of their Pokeballs and fed them too much sugar.]

I'll make sure they behave.

[freedomofwomen]

[ Eva already has a vague idea that Nena is the problem child.. ]

I'll take your word for it.
