Um, is this thing on?

[The normal sounds that one associates with new arrivals can be heard on the network. The video flickers on, and for a while there's a flash of dazzling rainbow light. It fades as the image of a teenage girl appears on the screen. A younger girl can be seen in the background, but she wanders in and out of the frame throughout

... I've met a girl with a dinosaur, I don't know if that helps!

[Voice]

[lsdyke]

...

Did she have purple hair?

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

[Brief pause as Sakura tries to remember.]

... actually I think she did. She introduced herself as Gert.

[Voice]

[lsdyke]

That's... that's not possible.

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

How is it impossible?

[Voice]

[lsdyke]

She's dead.

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

[Oh.]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Small pause.]

She wouldn't be the first person who showed up here after they'd... died. I know it sounds strange.

[Voice]

[lsdyke]

I'm used to strange, but--she's really here?

[Voice]

[powrightinthe]

...

No. Way.

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

Uh, yes?

I remember because I'd never heard of a 'dinosaur' before.

[Voice]

[powrightinthe]

What'd she look like? Did she have purple hair? Was she sarcastic, like, all the time?

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

Yeah, that sounds like her. If it helps, her name was Gert and she called her dinosaur... Old Lace, I think it was.

[Voice]

[powrightinthe]

...

Is she still here...?

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

I'm not sure. I haven't seen her around the network lately, so she may not be.

[Voice]

[powrightinthe]

Oh...

Yeah, I guess she wouldn't be. Thanks, though!

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.

You're Molly, right?
