[First Stumble~] audio

Ah--!

[There's a shout of surprise as someone tumbles to the floor.]

What a neat trick! I didn't know you had a teleporter, Mom!

[She sounds out of breath - slightly panicky, but relatively together.

'Relatively' is a relative term, however. There's a bit of silence.]

...Mom? Dad? You guys did this, right? Hellooooooo--!

. . .

Am I on a boat?

Renna?

[Oops, that probably made things confusing to start off with.]

I mean hello ... your parents didn't send you here if you haven't been told that already ... I'm Katherine, another passenger ...

[so_flighty]

Oh, hello! You know my name!

[Which is weird, but okay!]

Yeah, that other guy said the same thing...what as his name?

Anyway! Hi Katherine, I'm Renna, but you already know that somehow. Nice to meet you!

[ttlyisabard]

You were here before ... months ago ... a while ago actually, almost a year ...

It happens sometimes. No one remembers that they were here. Guess that's probably strange ...

[so_flighty]

I was? Really? Neat!

[She should really be more disturbed by this.]

Did I like it here?

[ttlyisabard]

I think so? You always seemed so happy ... kind of like now.

[She giggles.]

[so_flighty]

[She'd positively beaming.]

Well, that's what Mom always says about me...she says she doesn't remember the last time that I was sad or upset about anything.

Did I know you?

[ttlyisabard]

Yeah, we were friends. You got me to wear jeans ...

[She giggles.]

[so_flighty]

Awesome! Then that means we'll be friends again, right?

What deck are you on?

[ttlyisabard]

Certainly.

My room? It's on Deck 5.

[so_flighty]

I think I'm on...wait.

[She hasn't even looked yet.]

How do you tell?

[ttlyisabard]

Um ... it's posted near the stairs and elevators really ... the room numbers should start with the floor numbers but no such luck. My room's 8201 ...

[so_flighty]

Okay, let's see...my room is...7217...

Now let's go see what floor this is. Course, I'll get lost anyway, so I'm not sure why I'm bothering to look.

[She laughs the whole way to find the sign.]

[ttlyisabard]

I'll come find you once you know what floor you're on ... What's it look like? They're all fairly different, that would help ...

[so_flighty]

It's like...old timey American stuff.

[She;s bounding towards the stairs. This place is way better than flunking out of College Algebra for the zillionth time.]

[ttlyisabard]

That's deck 6! You're just below me ...

[She made her way to the closest elevator and stairs.]

Should I come to you?

[so_flighty]

Oh! Great!

[She's still wandering down the hall.]

Sure!
