[A soft sob... Coming from behind the clinic in town. There, a young, dark haired woman is curled in a ball, releasing more pent-up emotion than she has in quite a while. She's freaking out, and no surprise, all things considered. After all, she just woke up in a strange place, in clothing she's never seen, with wings.

It doesn't help that to her, this is just a sign that her schizophrenia is getting worse. It also doesn't help that the dress is vaguely reminiscent of the clothes patients wear at mental hospitals; she half believes she's in one.

Even though it's spring, it's a little nippy, and she's shivering in her thin cotton dress. She hasn't noticed the journal sitting by her feet, but she has at least stopped crying, though her breathing is still rapid.]


I don't know if I want this to be real or not...

[action] that is a good reactionface XD

[He smiles apologetically, guiding her over to a seat in the lobby. She really should hear this sitting down.]

What year is it for you back home?

Well, you're in good company. There's quite a few people from around that year. The Malnosso must be fond of it.

It is. I'm not sure why they have a preference. Most of their methods aren't well-understood.

Is there anything I can get you? A drink or a snack, maybe?

[He nods and smiles.] Okay. I'll be right back.

[After a minute or two, he returns with a glass of water, as well as a blanket. The heat isn't on in here, after all, and some of the chill from outside is seeping in.]

Do you have your journal, or did you leave it outside?

Yes. This is a very useful device--it's like a cross between a radiotelephone, a television camera and a facsimile machine. You can send vocal, video or written messages to anyone in the village with it. [He flips it open to the guide.] And there's this, which explains a great deal about the village and the Malnosso. It's quite helpful.

[Right, that metaphor is sixty years out of date for her.] Never mind. You'll see.

What's a skype?

Ah. Well in that case, yes, it is a lot like Skype.

Is Skype something that's on computers?

[action, yes]

I figured as much. It's astonishing to me, what computers can do in your time. Those in mine are incredibly primitive in comparison.

August 1952. [A smile, as he waits for the inevitable shock.]

It's true. [Yep, he'd be around ninety years old in her time.] Provided you don't have magic or strange creatures in your world, I may very well be from its past.

Where are you from? I'm from America. Ann Arbor, Michigan, to be exact.

Oh, I've been to Ontario before. Neat. [Geographically speaking, she may be the closest person to him that he's met here.]

Have you ever been to Michigan?
