Video call to Everyone- Day 42.

[smiling_biocide]

[ She gets how this works. ...The phone, anyway, not this nonsensical town.

It doesn't take her too long to get settled, brush her hair so that she looked presentable, and hide her frustration as she sets up the video. She's confused, she's bitter, and god damn it, she's going to get answers.

But first... sweet smile! Then she turns on the video feed

Hard to say how to get back to Los Angeles when we don't even know where we are, but I'll keep an eye out. [And that last bit sounds a little sarcastic.]

[smiling_biocide]

[ She lets that sarcasm roll right off her back. It's simply too early to start scuffles with simpletons. Rather, she favors him with a sad, resigned smile. ]

I suppose you'll have to tell me when you find it, right?

Where did you come from, if you don't mind me asking?

[ She's expecting something normal: "Burbank," "Beverley Hills," something to that effect. ]

[castoredux]

Iwatodai, Japan. [A little farther than Burbank.]

[smiling_biocide]

My, that's a far way from home. Did you come to California as some sort of transfer student?

[ She's playing dumb, now. She's gathered by this point that she's not anywhere near where she's supposed to be, but gathering more information never hurt. If one person spells it out for her, that's fine. If five do it, she can get a better grasp of the situation based on the varying viewpoints.

So she'll smile until he hopefully plays into her hands. ]

[castoredux]

Hell, no. Wouldn't if you paid me. Nobody knows where we're at.

[smiling_biocide]

Yes, it's a dreadful place, sometimes. But surely not all that bad, is it?

[ She takes in that last statement carefully, pausing before asking a question.

The smile is starting to fall off her face. ]

Not even a guess?

[castoredux]

Not really. I'm thinkin' it's somewhere in America, but hell if I know for sure.

[smiling_biocide]

Ah, I see.

[ She bites her lip. She's nervous, but forces a smile when she looks up again. ]

Well, perhaps we'll all find out, soon.

My name is Dahlia, by the way. You are...?

[castoredux]

It'd be nice.

...Shinjiro.
