[The pocketwatch feed comes on suddenly, fixed on a less-than-pleased face, lips pursed in the beginning of a rather sardonic expression. He's figured out that what he has in his hand is a communicator, he just doesn't know who he's communicating with.] I'd like to know whose idea of a joke this is. Because I'm not really seeing the punchline.

I'm sorry but you're stuck here. Nobody got you into this but the Watcher and Interloper. Or their guests. I'm not really sure anymore, who brings us and who is just messing with us.

Stuck here? And who exactly are those people? [Sounds like title.] Look, I just have to get a communication up to my ship, and to hell with stuck here. If you're stranded, I'm sure we can get you home on the way. Or at least to a starbase you can catch a ride from there.

I'm not exactly sure, I never met them. I've only ever spoken with... Temper Vale, I think. He's supposed to be a friend of the Watcher and Interloper. Or akin to that.
I don't think you'll be able to get a hold of them. There's no way to leave. I tried opening the path to the Lanes Between once but I just walked through to the other side of the portal.

[He shakes his head a little.] Look, Miss, I don't meant to be crass or take my frustration out on you, but this is a damn screwed up mess. And I'm hoping it's a concussion.

[Aqua nods and sits up against her headboard.] It's okay, I understand. A lot of people are frustrated when they get here. At least we can have a semi-comfortable stay here. There are plenty of empty apartments, some are furnished because their previous residents have already left the city. And the food is free, along with everything else. Which is great, I didn't bring a lot of munny.
[Aqua laughs very softly, only to cough of tiny bit and sip at a cup of peppermint tea.]
My name is Aqua.

So we're provided for, huh? What's the point of keeping us here to begin with?
[A pause and he inclines his head just a bit.] Name's McCoy. Leonard McCoy.
Look, if I'm stuck here for however long it is, are there medical facilities in this place? Hospital? Clinic? ...Dentist's office?

[Sorry, that's Sora's area. Aqua never visited that world ^.~]
Entertainment, actually. Think of it as a game and we're the pieces. Very well kept pieces.
That, I can give you good news about! There's a clinic near the cathedral, Christine ran it while she was here. It's pretty well kept. I've been volunteering time there when I can.

[...entertainment. The news gets better and better. And better. But actually the bit about the clinic is encouraging.] Great. That's good to hear. Maybe I'll start there. [Wait.] Christine? [...couldn't be. It's just a common name.]

[Aqua smiles and nods then gets a bit sad. She misses Christine.] Yeah, Christine Chapel. She was really good at taking care of everyone that got sick or hurt.

But all at once he's not even thinking on that.] Nurse Chapel was here? In this city? [Well if Christine was running the clinic maybe there's hope yet for some modern convenience.]

You know her? She was, yes and for quite a while too. Christine was already here when I arrived last October.
