[ Don't mind the girl on the screen going from O.O to :3 because oh hello blue person. You're a pretty color blue! ]

Well if it's anythin' like the last city I got snatched up to then we gotta just find whatever we want that'll pay.

[softenedbyme]

[...Wait.] Last city? This has happened to you before?

[lilgreasemonkey]

Yep. [ :| look at how thrilled she is to be these city leaders' little ragdoll, dragged from city to city. ] First time I got snatched up was by the doc an' her team runnin' a city called Aliunde. Then I got to go home for months ... 'til these folks got it in their brainpans that I can help save 'em all.

[softenedbyme]

...I'm sorry. I hope you'll get to go back home soon.

[lilgreasemonkey]

I got home once so I'll get back there again someday. [ Eternal optimism /o/ ] What 'bout you?

[softenedbyme]

I've never been away from home before?

[lilgreasemonkey]

Really? It ain't so bad after a bit.

[softenedbyme]

[She traveled around on Earth, some, but she still counts that as "staying home".]

I miss home.

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Awww. If Kaylee was with her she'd get a hug. ]

We'll get ya back. Don't ya fret. Where's home?

[softenedbyme]

...New York state?

[A giant mansion in the countryside.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ "State" ... oooo! ] Oh I know 'bout those. Shiny!

[softenedbyme]

Shiny?

[That's....weirdly placed.]

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ No it's not :c ]

's like sayin' uh ... [ okay she figured this out in Aliunde ... ] 'cool'. Sometimes good. [ Yes it depends on the context. ]

[softenedbyme]

Oh!

[lilgreasemonkey]

[ Shrug ]
