[She's seen the posters, read them, and tucked away what information that had been given away to dwell on later. But now? Well, she does have some questions. And if what the posters said were true then it was time to test out this foreign device. Even if she's unsure of how or if this thing is even working though she has managed to somehow get the

I don't recognise either of those names, but nor do I claim to know everyone in the city.

I can tell you more about our captors and the history of this place, as well as how to claim a home and get food while you're here. What information do you need?

[[Her voice is clipped, short and precise, and also very, very English sounding.]]

[mindreadingclaw]

Such a shame. I was hoping for someone who at least had heard of one of them. Though I suppose that's better than nothing.

Anything that can benefit one such as myself. It wouldn't be right for a strategist to not know the complete situation that they have found themselves in.

[ergaleomancer]

I suppose I'll begin at the beginning, shall I?

Originally, we were kidnapped by two people--The Watcher and The Interloper. We were brought here to be their toys and their collection, against our wills, as you were. They also freely invited seven guests--Temper Vale, Tim, Chassie, Chari, Gene, Dil Blackwood, and Atien. Those seven guests then took over from The Watcher and The Interloper; that's been recently and as yet we don't know what happened to them. Out of the seven, I've spoken with Temper and with Dil. Both of them are utterly psychotic and believe us to be their toys to be played with and broken as they see fit.

[And she's listening, mentally storing away everything, especially the names. But once the bit about being "toys" pops up, she does have to worry a bit.]

Some people I can understand being such, but to go as far as calling everyone here the same thing? And what do you mean "played with and broken"?

I might be able to assist you - what kind of information do you need?

And I regret to inform you that I know nothing of the people you mentioned. They might be here, however; the city is rather big.

[mindreadingclaw]

Any that may help in any way. I know of some things due to the postings I saw earlier, but aside from that, I am afraid I do need extra knowledge.

Such a shame. But even if they are not here, it's probably for the better.

[ko1122]

Unfortunately, it is most likely for the better. This city... is not safe by any means.

I'm not quite sure what you know or do not know, so I'll start with this; Ruby City is supposedly named after the river that runs through it. The river is made up of blood - we had two vampire leaders for almost a year, though if recent evidence is to be trusted, a band of seven human-like people are now in control of us. Any questions?

[mindreadingclaw]

Not many places are, I'm afraid.

A river of blood? How could such a thing exist?

[And a slight pause. Something about the other is...a bit off to her.]

If you do not mind an off-topic question, I must know as it is bothering me: what manner of woman are you? You do not look, nor sound like, any I have met.

[[just a note about that last part: she's from a universe where not a single human man exists so yay confusion.]]
