[ There's one blonde girl who looks very, very unhappy. She's dressed in a cheerleader outfit, hair held up, and judging by her expression? She judges everything. She isn't happy with the NV, or with anything, to be frank. ]

A baseball thing? Seriously?

[ She smiles, and it is a very pretty smile and at the same time if looks could kill -- ]

I don't

[ A teenager? Cambria's expression is one of shock, but then again--her son is here. That's something she doesn't want to think about right now, so she clicks on the video feed and clears her throat gently, green eyes on the teen. ]

I've got no idea what you're talking about, sweetheart, but I'm getting the feeling that's probably normal around here. [ She smiles--she's got a very warm personality about her, and she's hoping that'll calm the poor blonde girl down. Reminds her of Newo, a little bit. Not the tone of voice, though. ]

If it's any consolation, I landed with my ass on home plate, too. Not a very nice feeling.

This could all be very clear if I knew where here actually even is.

I'm kinda sure this is illegal.

I think it's out of the state's hands. But we're in a country called.. Uhm. 'Canada,' I believe? If that means anything to you.

[ She shrugs. No idea what that means. ]

Yeah -- I have no idea how I ended up in Canada. I never actually wanted to ever visit Canada. But I'm an American citizen and the Canadians should just send me back. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed in Canada.

[ Oh dear. Cambria's mind is working overtime because of these facts--more importantly, the fact that the girl shouldn't be in this country, apparently. ]

Why? Is Canada a police-state? Regulated? Dictatorship? Or is America these things? Oppressed regimes never helped anyone, but so help me God, if this place turns out to be another surpressed state...

[ She's rubbing the bridge of her nose now, agitated. ]

They're actually both democratic. But I don't have a passport and being here without one is kind of a crime. I don't even dig maple sauce or anything.

[istheknowledge]

Maple sauce?

[ Back up there, Quinn. Cambria's looking horribly confused and just a little worried, still. ]

Right.. Well, wherever Canada and America are, we're here, just pulled by something called the Core.

[skysplitting]

The Core?

[istheknowledge]

The Core.

[ Cambria's silent until she realizes that the blonde girl wants her to elaborate ]

That's all I really know--I'm in the same boat as you are.

[ sigh. ]

Right. I'll ask my friends, some of them are here.

I'm Quinn.

[ video ]

[istheknowledge]

Friends? Good. It's not healthy for people to wander around alone.

[ The next smile is warm--Cambria's used to dealing with teenagers. ]

It's nice to meet you, Quinn. I'm Cambria.

[skysplitting]

Cambria - hi, nice meeting you, craziness and all.

[istheknowledge]

Craziness is one way of putting it. [ Especially where she was pulled from. She supposes she looks at this as a gift, but she misses Coheed. Wonders if he's safe. ]

But we're here now. Listen--I'm a newcomer myself but if you need anything let me know. [ That includes a home-cooked meal. You aren't above Cambria's mothering nature, Quinn. ]

Thanks -- I'll remember that. Hopefully we both go home soon.
