First Inning [Accidental Video]

[tereteindahouse]

H-hey, DAMN YOU! Get BACK here!

[The tablet appears to have been dropped since the voice can only be heard and the camera shows the 'sky'. If it could be called that. There's sounds of running and a low growl.]

Dammit! [A pause.]

Where am I? Is this a new part of Tartarus? What the HELL is going on?!

[ofunquietwater]

Not Tartarus. Similar mythology. You're in the Underworld.

[Pause.] Does your mouth taste like metal?

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

No. It's not fun at all. Too much blood.

[She peers curiously at the screen for a moment before answering.] Osiris is where I started. You can run and run, but your roots always stay.

[tereteindahouse]

Never heard of that place. Where's that at?

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

Part of the Core.

[Beat.]

One of the central planets of the solar system colonized by humanity after the continued destabilization of Earth-that-was made it clear that the planet would no longer be habitable.

[tereteindahouse]

Uuuuuh. [He latches on to the bit he did understand.] You're from space? REALLY?

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

[She looks mildly baffled for a moment, then nods.]

I live on a space ship.

[tereteindahouse]

Dude. How awesome is that?! Are there space monsters and aliens?

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

There are monsters. And ghosts. As yet, we haven't encountered any non-human life forms. It's a very large galaxy.

[Video]

[tereteindahouse]

Awww man. I hope you meet some martians. W-Well, I mean, if you get home.

[Video]

[ofunquietwater]

Mars is uninhabited. Many people were very disappointed.

[She smiles, sudden and sunny.]

We're all going to get home. Can't leave anyone behind.

[Video]

[tereteindahouse]

I like your attitude, River. Yeah. We'll get home. [He's grinning wide.]
