Yeah, I don't believe Mr. Lordy Face for a second. This is all the stupid Core's fault. I really don't get why they sent me here though. Is this what happens when you are rehabilitated? Is this punishment? I was just trying to have a simple sleepover and then I get uprooted and...

[Her grumbling, which sounds like a displeased puppy, trails off and there is a small pause. The faint sound of sniffing can be heard in the background.]

It smells weird here too. Couldn't they have at least stuck me in a place that doesn't smell funky?

And what about Nigel! Who's going to feed him! Great job Core! You're a bunch of bunny killers. I hope you are happy with yourselves.

[There is more grumbling that turns into a growl before the audio ends.]

Yeah, I love forests! I went running in the one we had at the facility all the time.

He is just an octopus with many sides to him.

[There is a giant pause when Ryn tells her about the pumpkins.]

Oh...no, that's not amusing at all. That's horrible. I'm sorry everyone had to go through that.

Ah. Well, people do use it, so it isn't as though it's completely fucking off limits or anything. I'd just make sure you bring some sort of weapon or way to defend yourself if you're going.

[She snorts humourlessly at that.]

Yeah, so're the rest of us. Be glad you missed it, lass, but consider it setting the tone for shit you're likely to find here.

[And then Ryn smiles, not that Tahlia can see it, but there's a hint of it in her tone at her next words.]

Of course, there's also crap like a big spider who goes about decorating the place with mistletoe in hopes of getting people together, which is the amusing kind of strange.

Okay, well that is good to know! I think I'll use it, then. I should be able to defend myself if I have to.

[Vines and deer with fangs. No biggie, right?]

I...

[She's about to say she's sorry again, but that isn't going to help anything.]

I'm really glad I missed it. As much as the facility sucked, at least it didn't pull stuff like that.

[Tahlia starts laughing at the mention of the big spider.]

That's kind of cute! The spider matchmaker.

Good on you, lass. You manage to arrive here carrying weapons with you?

[No, it isn't, and it's probably a good thing Tahlia didn't say she was sorry again. Ryn'd probably start getting cranky about it.]

You're damn right about that. But at least the food's free.

[Another grin at her laughter.]

It was pretty damn well amusing. Not something I ever expected to be seeing, but not unwelcome.

Nope, but I'm a werewolf. That should help with the deer...

[She sounds hesitant. She doesn't want to hurt the deer unless she really has to.]

It might help with the vines too, but I should probably get a knife just in case.

[Tahlia sounds hesitant about that too; she's never used a weapon in her whole life. But all she has to do is hack at some vines if they come after her. She won't use it for anything else.]

Free food makes everything better!

I wonder if he'll return on Valentine's Day in the hopes of continuing his matchmaker career.

Ah. Yes, that'd probably be doing it. There's kitchen knives and such here, but nothing more in the way of weapons than that. Everything in the bloody armory is dulled.

[Iriel'd had knives that were actually good, but that - that doesn't matter anymore.

And yes, she's noticing that hesitation there.]

Do you even know how to use a knife, lass?

[She snorts slightly.]

I'm hoping not. I'm sure it'd be nothing we wanted to see.

I guess I'll just grab one from the kitchen then. Maybe one of those big cleaver things.

Ummm...no...

Probably, he might start handing out those gross heart candies.

I'd not recommend using them until you do, then. I can give you a bit of instruction, if you'd like.

[It's pretty much only because Tahlia's from her world that she's offering that. Ryn never thought talking to someone else from a facility would actually be somewhat comforting.

Then she snorts.]

I'd prefer that to some of the other things I've imagined.

That would be great!

Yeah, I guess heart candies are pretty low on the scale of bad stuff that could happen.

Let me know when you're wanting some practice. It's not as though I've got a damn thing better to do here.

[Another snort.]

They may be chalky and tasteless, but at least they're not particularly life threatening or traumatizing.

Okay! I might be asking you pretty soon, if that is okay. I don't have that much to do either.

Soon is fine. It'll save me from my boredom.

[She pauses as it occurs to her that she's not actually introduced herself.]

I'm Ryn.

You'd think they would give us more things to do. I'm guessing there aren't sports balls of any sort here?

I'm Tahlia!

[She gives a wave but she realizes Ryn can't see it, so she abruptly stops.]
