Ever since her father returned home, things had been looking up for Meg Murry. She was doing better in school, she hadn't been getting into as much trouble, her attitude had calmed down and things were looking up! Life, as Charles Wallace had said, was good.

As good as life is now, though, Meg finds herself unable to sleep. She can't figure out why

Angel was stalking Buffy on patrol, but then she went back into the apartments so now he's patrolling. He pauses when he catches scent of another human and then hears someone's voice. It doesn't take long to find the young girl.

"Hey...are you okay?" he asks.

[tesserer]

"No," she shouts, taking a step back. "I'm not. Where am I?"

[still_brooding]

Angel holds his hands up and steps back. "Uhm...it's a little hard to explain. We're not sure where here is. Do you know about alternate dimensions? It makes the explaination a little more believable."

[tesserer]

That gets Meg's attention.

"Of course," she answers immediately. "I tessered here, I think, so I already know I'm... not where I should be."

He's trying to be nicer nowadays. Less with the threatening. Especially for a younger person like this. But the scruffy kid still has a shotgun on his back and a pistol by his side, just in case.

"Hey there."

[tesserer]

Unfortunately for Chase, the first two things Meg notices on his person are the shotgun and the pistol.

Her eyes go wide and she steps back.

[talkback]

He holds up his hands, to show he's not going for them.

"No, no, it's okay, they're only for defense! We got some nasty things around here."

[tesserer]

Headtilt.

"Nasty things? Like what?"

She certainly hopes there's nothing like IT around here.

"Hello," says a slightly younger-looking girl who's sprawled in the snow. She's pretty well bundled up--only her face is visible, what with the hood and gloves. There's a heavyish-looking backpack leaning against her.

[tesserer]

Meg stares.

After a moment, "Hi. Where am I?"

[stomachofsteel]

"No idea," the other girl replies cheerfully. "Southern hemisphere somewhere is about all I can figure out. Earth, probably."

[tesserer]

"Oh."

Yes, that is a tiny hint of disappointment in her voice!

"So... wait. There's no place on Earth that looks like this."

Not that she knows of, at least.
