[If you happen to catch this transmission you will see an empty room, small and generic, perhaps very much like your own before you decided to customise it. There is the usual bed, the usual closet, one door leading to the bathroom and- oh look, somebody's home

You're very wet. Is everything all--

Did you say Dr. Lamb?

[Sinclair is not going to be pleased about this. Jack looks apprehensive.]

Re: [video]

[echo_of_utopia]

So I did.

[Sofia stares.

And stares.]

And you are?

[It's not that Sofia doesn't know, oh not at all, Jack looks exactly like the man she's seen countless files, videos and murals (the latter being perhaps a little less representative) of, but ah, that's just the problem; he's not supposed to look like that, ten years later.]

Jack Ryan.

[His eyes narrow; he's watching her warily. For him it hasn't been ten years, and memories of Rapture are still strong enough to keep him hyperalert--he would be like this even if he hadn't heard she was not to be trusted.]

[Jack R y a n? So far her best bet as to what the hell was going on was "afterlife" or "coma", but she is fairly convinced that neither of those would feature her memory of project W-Y-K calling himself Jack R y a n. Which begs the question...]

Where are we?

[Stareeeeeeeee. Have a little set of yellow eyes looking at you through her communicator.]

Mother Lamb.

[Even with the uncompleted conditioning she knows of you through Eleanor. She's actually a little frightened right now because of it...]

((ooc; if going by the game's timeline, Cindy's technically neutral ending, just for the information. :3))

[Sofia is still very much on the fence about what is going on or where it is going on, but after watching so many of the Little Sisters die in what have been the last few hours for her, seeing one alive (or "alive", she still isn't sure) makes her genuinely glad.]

Hello.

[She smiles, steps closer to the monitor]

Are you all right?

[leavingcyphers]

[Silently she nods her head.

From her history she's not so much seen any evil- but when she has a mind of her own still, the whispers from the other sisters about the woman on the radios and the small pieces she had gained from Eleanor said that she was against the people trying to help her and the sisters.

Even though she saw Rapture as bright, and even though she sees the mansion in a glowing manner- from small memories of recent events and the word of mouth of a bunch of children (that had obviously undergone some Chinese whispering with the newer sisters), she wasn't so sure if Sofia Lamb seemed so glowing.]

[She breathes a sigh of relief. Then something occurs to her.]

Are you alone?

[jesusing_clown]

Ah, hello Dr Lamb, I don't think we've met. Are you alright?

[echo_of_utopia]

[She stands there for a moment, her clothes still dripping. She sighs.]

I'm fine I suppose, just a little...

[Lost? Stumped? Completely and utterly in the dark about everything that is going on? Dead? She decides that particular sentence is better left unfinished.]

I'm fine and indeed I don't recall seeing you in Rapture before. What's your name, if I may ask?

[jesusing_clown]

Rapture? You aren't in Rapture anymore, I'm sorry, this place is called Wonderland. My name is Allen Walker, pleased to meet you Dr. Lamb.

[echo_of_utopia]

I apologise, what I meant was of course that I don't recall seeing you while I was still in-

[Something occurs to her. The kind of people running around in Rapture, deformed and crazy or not, led to her not easily viewing somebody's appearance as unusual, but now she wonders...]

...

You've never been, have you? To Rapture?

[trinityaffinity]

I can hear you!

[echo_of_utopia]

[She didn't even really expect one reply, let alone so many. She looks a little surprised.]

Hello. Do you live here... do you live in this Wonderland house too?

[trinityaffinity]

Yeah, I do. I'm trying to leave, though.

[echo_of_utopia]

You don't like it here?

[alterdreveries]

Ah, yes, I hear you.

[echo_of_utopia]

[She looks a little surprised for a moment. She realises that she hasn't seen any young girls without glowing demon eyes for a long time.]

Is somebody else with you? A parent or guardian?

[alterdreveries]

[Kanami shook her head.]

I don't have any parents, and even if I did, they probably wouldn't be here. The closest person to family I have is Kazu-kun and he's back at home.

[echo_of_utopia]

You're here on your own? That must be very difficult.
