001 [accidental audio]

[there's some scratching and fumbling noises first, like someone's trying to pick up the PCD and is having trouble doing so. Then a woman's voice is heard, sounding extremely tired and possibly hungover] What the...[a heavy sigh] Kenz, those are supposed to be for emergency use. You weren't s'pose to tranq me like the family dog before you head out on vacation.

[she groans, sighing] For crying out--KENZI! Where the hell's my pho--

[it's possible she's just fully opened her eyes now, realizing she's not wherever she was before] Shit. Shitshitshit. [there's more fumbling then, as if she's looking for something] C'mon c'mon where the hell is--[her voice takes on a hysterical edge, suddenly, although from the way she's breathing it sounds like she's trying to retain some calm] KENZI WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Somewhere likely not within earshot, dearie. [Considering it's not a name he's heard before and if there's one thing he pays attention to on this accursed network, it's names.] The Animus have a certain fondness for inopportune abductions, it seems.

The name's Bo. [her tone is less afraid and more angry, now]

Animus...[she laughs, though it sounds exhausted and off kilter] Yeah, sure. Tell the Morrigan I'm really not in the mood for her little games right now, I've got enough shit on my plate without dealing with hers. [she's too worried, too exhausted from everything going on, for her mind to catch up to the fact that he would know her name if he were one of Evony's lapdogs]

Bo. [He repeats it back, amused.] Unusual name. And I'm afraid I don't know any Morrigan. And I doubt you'll find anyone here who does.

[But that sounds like a title and he can glean enough from that to respond accordingly.] You're likely a bit outside her jurisdiction here in Adstringendum.

Yeah well, I'm pretty unusual, even by Fae standards.

[it takes a beat for all of that to process--that she's not home, that this isn't Limbo again,that...]

What the hell is this place?

[The word gives him pause. He knows what a Fae is- he's read enough (and experienced enough through working with Jefferson) to know about different worlds, even if the only fair folk that roam the Enchanted Forest are fairies. She's hardly one of those little winged nuisances though. He can just tell.]

The end result of inexperienced portal jumpers mucking about with things they don't quite comprehend. Several worlds smashed together to create one abysmal wasteland.

Portal--[she stops, shaking her head. She hasn't felt this out of her depth since Dyson and Hale took her to the Ash way back when] Right, whatever. Let me guess, there's no way home?

Not at the present moment. Those with any measure of ambition are constantly trying to make the attempt, but so far... No luck. Unfortunately.

Let me guess. You're new?

[Because it's not like it's obvious or anything with all the yelling.]

What gave it away?

[Bo doesn't care to keep the sarcasm out of her voice. She's trapped, her friends are god knows where, and she's only got three of those damn shots to keep her from turning into even more of a freak than she already is]

Oh, I don't know. The yelling maybe?

[Yeah, Jenny's not hiding her sarcasm either. It's been a long week for her.]

And I take it Kenzi's a friend of yours? Need help looking around for her? I can't guarantee she's here. Actually, if we stick the usual, she's probably not, but I'm willing to help out if I can.

[Jenny takes on a more or her usual energetic tone.]

I'm Jenny by the way. Pleasure!

[Bo does smirk for a second at that] Yeah, never been real great at the whole calm and composure thing.

[She's quiet for a second then, swallowing audibly because Kenzi....] Kenzi is...a lot more than a friend. She's my sister. [she's never said that outloud, but it's true--she's more family than Aife or the Dennis', anyway] And I'm pretty sure she'd have shown herself the second she heard me. She always...[she cuts off, because that hurts, and that emotion is too close to anger and she can't let herself get too angry, not now] Anyway,you'd know if she was here because all booze and half your valuable would be gone.

[she sighs] Bo. Yeah, uh, nice to meet you, Jenny. So, how long am I going to be stuck in this...place?

Oh, I doubt that. [You can just hear the smirk there. Trust me, nobody gets anything like that over on this girl.]

A pleasure Bo, and I wish I could tell you, but in my experience here, you're stuck here until you get sent back home. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but I'm not about to lie to you about it.

[Bo laughs, in spite of herself] You really don't know Kenzi. She's swiped booze from a guy who's a couple thousand years old and pretty good at 'aquiring' whatever he wants himself. [she almost said 'tricky', but that would hurt too--she never quite realizes how much she needs all of them until they're gone]

Thanks. I've had way too many people lie to protect me, the honesty's a nice change. [she huffs] Doesn't change the fact I am going to be in some serious trouble if I'm stuck here more than a few days, though.

[ Kenzi is a really cool name, okay. It's what pings her in the first place but Rose quickly realizes this woman is just about as lost as any newcomer would be. ]

So, uh, have you been given the lowdown on this place yet? [ Because, man, fuck if she can explain anything. ]

Just that I'm stuck here because some people screwed with the space time continuum or some crap like that.

That's about the gist of it, yeah!

So, welcome! Though I don't think you're really too happy about being here. I don't think many people are, really.

And I'm guessing everyone's tried to fix it and all it's done is make things worse? [because that's how things seem to work with the Fae--all the stories she's heard about Trick and the treaty, what happened to her mother...]

'Not happy' would be putting it real damn lightly. I was already on a bit of a tight deadline for some pretty heavy stuff back home as it is.

Well, I wouldn't say worse... As far as I can tell not much has changed one or the other.

[ Her eyebrows raise at the mention of a deadline. ]

Important things going on back home? Well, you may be lucky and get out of here sooner than you think!

Guess that's something.

[Bo huffs, shaking her head]

Never had real great luck, and this would be a pretty shocking time for that to change. What's the average sentence here seem to be, anyway?

Now, there is no need for that kind of language, young lady.

If you knew the level of absolutely screwed me and the people I care about will be if I'm here more than a couple days, I think you'd agree there's plenty of need

I can probably imagine it very well, actually, and it is still no excuse. We have children here.

Sorry I wasn't thinking about being family friendly when I found myself in some other dimension where I might very well be a danger to everyone around me without any intent on my part.

... Have you calmed down?

[Unimpressed. She is nice enough, but given recent events, she is less likely to be her usual sunny self when people won't calm down enough to get the explanation they are demanding.]

[Bo glares, for a second. Then, she huffs, running a hand through her hair. Because even if she thinks if any situation warrants freaking out,it's this one, she knows letting her temper blow out of control could end badly for everyone]
Trying. I don't actually like spazzing out like this, but there's kind of a lot of extenuating circumstances right now that mean this is actually pretty flipping calm for me right now.
