I've been sort of hiding out after the whole Alice thing. And no, I don't want to talk about it. I feel like enough of a failure as it is, thanks.

Someone cheer me up by telling me that my mirror got his ass kicked, at the very least.

If anyone wants me, I'll be in the library, doing that whole "futile research" thing that I do so well.

I just wanted to say that you shouldn't blame yourself for what that queen does. You're not inadequate, she's just.. horrible. And it's stupid that we can't do anything about it, sometimes, and I hate that feeling too, but the fact that you tried at least is...

...I don't even know what I'm saying.

Thank you. I tend to tear myself up when I can't save people which happens more often than I'd like, but I appreciate the kind words.

Have we met? I'm Sam. Sam Winchester.

Helena Campbell. I'm new here. Although I might have to stop saying that pretty soon.

What did you mean, "futile research"?

[wayward_sam]

Nice to meet you, Helena. It's hard to really stay new here for long, what with all the people that keep streaming in.

I've been trying to research what kind of creature the Queen is and what kind of magic she's using against us, but it hasn't really been working. I'm not used to these kinds of roadblocks.

[helena_campbell]

That's what I was thinking. There are a couple of new people already. I'm still not really used to waking up in my new room every morning, though.

Oh. I was hoping maybe you were researching on how to get out of here. That would be nice, too.

[wayward_sam]

I'm still not used to it, and I've been here since March.

Well, by figuring out what we're dealing with, I was hoping to learn how to defeat the Queen and get us out. Like I said, I haven't exactly been making much headway, but there are scientists here who've been working on that for a lot longer than I have who are no closer to the truth.

[helena_campbell]

That doesn't sound so good. Well, as long as I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.

The queen doesn't seem like something scientific though. How would you even begin to research?

[wayward_sam]

I... excel at non-scientific research, I guess you could say. Which is why the more science-oriented types tend to find me useful.
