( Ah, convenience. Or inconvenience, really, how the Vine is so intent on catching these scenes. Jules is in her kitchen, sitting down with a couple of steaming mugs. Tea, one could assume. With her is a blonde woman; a little taller than Jules, and she speaks with a soft Irish accent just slightly tempered by years of London exposure.

This mirror is showing me people. I don't understand why.

[typeright]

Oh, hello! ( She totally waves a bit. ) The Vine is a bit tricky to get used to, at first. Are you new?

( HOORAY a topic that means she can ignore the ex-girlfriend manifestation ugh ugh get it awaaaaay )

[alchemistsquery]

Hello. I am Alfimi. [She waves back, her hand moving slowly.] Yes, I arrived here not long ago at all. I'm not sure why I'm here.

[typeright]

Alfimi. That's a very pretty name, actually. Alfimi. ( Repetition, to commit it to memory. )

Mm, it's rather a puzzle. There's theories and thoughts that fly around a bit, although the basic reasoning would be that the Queen brought us here. You've been all right since you arrived, I hope?

[alchemistsquery]

Thank you. I am not sure where it came from.

That queen again. Why would she want me here? Yes, I am alright. I thought I was dead before I got here. I thought I was for sure. But... I am here and I am fine.

[typeright]

Add to the mystery, yes?

( She just makes a thoughtful little sound, mulling it over. ) That does sound... like a rather significant change to adapt to. Maybe it was just a miscommunication!

( About... dying. Yes. )

[alchemistsquery]

Yes. I am mysterious to myself, too.

Miscommunication... Maybe... maybe I was mistaken about dying? I guess... that is possible. I thought it felt like death. Could it have been... something else?

[typeright]

Oh, gosh. I dare say you have this mystery business down extremely well. Perhaps you could even see about a collaboration with Batgirl, or something of the sort.

( Hmmmm. Jules makes a quiet, thoughtful sound. ) I'm not an awfully helpful person to ask, I'm afraid, but my guess would be that it could. I mean, you're living and breathing now, which I think rather suggests that death was avoided?

[alchemistsquery]

I want to not have the mystery though. So I can understand myself. ...Bat... girl? What is that?

That makes sense. Maybe you are right. And I guess... it doesn't matter a lot... in the end. I thought I didn't deserve to be... here. But I'm alive.
