Out of the rabbit hole

*looks around--surprised to find she isn't in the field supply closet*

This . . isn't the Crime Lab.

*sees various patrons of various species wandering about*

Where in the hell am I?

*Tiki flies up*

Hi! My name is Tiki!

[lvpd_sidle]

*jerks back*

Um, hi Tiki. My name is Sara.

[rebelfaerie]

*Tiki ignores the shock*

Hi, Sara. Are you new too?

[lvpd_sidle]

I guess I am. *smiles* Are you a fairy?

[rebelfaerie]

*smiles* That I am.

...I guess you're not used to faeries?

[lvpd_sidle]

No, not really. I've never met one before. *smiles*

[rebelfaerie]

Well, I guess that makes me special!

*Tiki lights on Sara's hand*

So, what are you doing here?

[lvpd_sidle]

I'm really not sure, to tell you the truth, Tiki. I walked into a supply closet and found myself at the end of the universe. *wry smile*

[rebelfaerie]

Well, I was chasing my friend Wijic, and ended up here out of no where. And since I'm so small, I hid in that corner *points* for two weeks before I finally worked up the courage to talk to someone. Then earlier today I talked to this nice lady and she told me that everything was going to be alright and told me a bit about this place.

I don't think I want to go back.

[lvpd_sidle]

Well, it seems like a nice enough place. I think you'd be fine. *smiles*

At the moment, I don't want to go back either. But eventually I probably will.

[rebelfaerie]

I was really afraid when the lion came in here. I would not even be a toothpick to a lion! But the nice lady told me that I can't die here.

And where I come from there is The Queen of the Faeries, and she's mean. She also has lots of spies. *Tiki shutters* So, I don't really want to go back to her wrath. She will be mad that I'm missing.

You don't have to go back. You could stay here with me! The nice lady made a bed for me in the library upstairs, and she says there are rooms for normal sized people too.

[lvpd_sidle]

*smiles sadly* I wish I could, Tiki. But there are many people in my world who depend on me, and what I do. I help put bad people in prison, and I help good people get their lives back to normal. My family is there, as are my friends.

I'll be sure to visit you as often as I can, though. You're very sweet. *smiles*

[rebelfaerie]

*Tiki furries her brow*

What's "prison"?

[lvpd_sidle]

Umm....it's a place where criminals--people who do bad things to other people--are kept for either years, or their entire lives if it is warranted. It keeps those people from hurting good people again.

[rebelfaerie]

*still a little confused*

..oh.

And you send people there?

[lvpd_sidle]

If I have to. I don't go up to a person who is being nice and not hurting anyone, and send them there. What I do is find evidence--proof that the person did something that was illegal or bad, and present it to the people who decide where the person should go.
