[Of course, the first thing Rebecca Crane's hand is going to seek is technology. She's attempted to dial Shaun's phone number, then William's, then, hell, even HQ's.

Nothing. Zilch. Bupkus.]

Ah, man.

[It's certainly cold and dark in here; that's only an issue when she sits up and the paper gown gaps. Then she sees the toe tag.]

SHIT. Desmond?

[betrayedblade]

[Desmond. It's a stretch but just in case... and besides, every newcomer needs a helping hand.]

Bouna sera, signorina. Please remain calm. It is very unpleasant indeed but it cannot be helped now. However, I can walk you through the basics if you are willing.

[video] /feels special T__T

[snowmass84]

[She adjusts the phone's position just enough so she feels 100% confident she isn't flashing some guy she doesn't know. He looks vaguely familiar, though.]

The basics? I don't know if that's going to help me unless you can start out with the "why" and move to the "who" right after.

[video] YOU SHOULD. I HAD TO CHANGE JOURNALS AND EVERYTHING.

[betrayedblade]

Neither are known, unfortunately. Mi dispiace.

But we all arrived here just the same for whatever reason and are stuck here for now. If you go down the hall there will be a, ah, I apologize I cannot remember the name of the contraption but it will take you upstairs if you get in it and press the buttons. [He means the elevator, derp.] If you would like I can meet you with some clothes or you can walk across the way to one of the stores. There is no one here to object you taking what you need.

[video] HAPPY TEARS

[snowmass84]

Don't apologize; it's not your fault I'm here, anyway.

Aright, so there's an elevator at the end of the hall, and from there, I'll be able to get clothes. Good thing; this paper isn't going to fly anywhere.

[The picture wiggles a little as she stands up and starts walking cautiously, watching every step like Vidic himself is about to jump out at her. She doesn't bother being shy about the gown, but she's not flashing anyone. Seriously.]

Guess I'll meet you. I don't see anybody else. I'm Rebecca.

[video] :D

[betrayedblade]

Correct.

[Elevator. He'll remember that word.]

Bene. I will be there shortly. I am Giovanni, Signorina Rebecca. It is a pleasure to meet you though I wish the circumstances were more preferable.

[video] but now I must sleep T__T

[snowmass84]

[It elevates things! Hence, elevator. She will definitely teach him.]

I wish I wasn't meeting someone under mysterious circumstances without my clothes on, but I can't win 'em all. Nice to meet you, too.

Sounds great! I'll... be waiting here.

[video-->action] oh good, me too >.>;

[betrayedblade]

Understandable. I'll do my best to keep you from being uncomfortable. [By which he means he'll avoid his gaze like a gentleman.]

[A little while later Giovanni shows up with spare clothes in arms: some loose fitting pants and one of the ever so popular I-Heart-Abax t-shirts. It was the easiest set to grab without knowing her specifications and on a quick run at the nearest touristy store.

He kept his word and averted his gaze politely even as he approached holding out the clothes towards her.] Here you are for now, signorina.

[action] LOL GOOD MORNING \o\

[snowmass84]

[Geez, he looks familiar. Rebecca can't shake that feeling of deja vu, but she takes the clothing without question and turns away to put it on.]

I show up dead and the first guy I talk to is acting like a "gentleman". Crazy. You better be a good guy, or I'm gonna be disappointed.

[While she cinches the pants up--QUITE big on her--she makes some polite conversation. It's an inauspicious start, from her end.] Giovanni, and you're speaking Italian. I was in Italy for a while.

[action] What is this morning of which you speak? :s

[betrayedblade]

I'll do my best not to disappoint then.

[He turns his back all the same once she has the clothes.]

Oh? And how did you like it?

[action] FFFFF

[snowmass84]

[She gives him a glance and a shrug.]

Doing okay so far. But yeah, Italy... It's nice, I guess. Didn't see much other than Monteriggioni and Rome.

[action]

[betrayedblade]

[Oh that instantly pings him and he starts to turn around to look at her before he catches himself and faces firmly forward once more. His voice is slightly more interested now, a hint of urgency to the tone.]

Monteriggioni? You went to Monteriggioni? It has been a such a long while since I've been... How is it faring?

[action]

[snowmass84]

[Alright, pops, she's all clothed now.]

Well, I mean, it's been rebuilt and modernized, but it's not like it was in the 1400s. When did you see it?

[action]

[betrayedblade]

[He chuckles softly.]

In the 1400s.

[action]

[snowmass84]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here: Auditore?

[action]

[betrayedblade]

[He smiles.]

Sì. You must be of the Creed. I have met Desmond before. [Simple explanation for why he's not all perturbed by what is going on here. More or less.]

[action]

[snowmass84]

Yeah! I'm Rebecca Crane. Not quite like Desmond; they recruited me to help out, so I'm more doing the info part of things.

Man... Good to meet you, then. I can't even believe this! I made something that--eh, enough about me. Wow...
