[ A young blonde is at a terminal in the dorms, typing away furiously. Her hair is drenched through from the ever constant rain and sitting beside her is what appears to be your stereotypical grey extraterrestrial. Child-sized and looking about curiously, the grey is a passive counterpoint to America's livid demeanor. ]

Hey, just what the hell is going on around here? One minute I'm making plans to celebrate St. Paddy's Day and the next I'm waking up in the Twilight Zone. It's raining. INDOORS! And it looks like I somehow ended up in someone's worst (or best?) latex fetish dreams. My clothes are nowhere to be found, my jacket is gone, this is definitely not my bedroom and not my house, and, ha, oh yeah, apparently the world ended.

Seriously. This joke isn't funny. Somebody please tell me this is just the sad results of one of England's stupid experiments gone wrong and everything will be back to normal if I click my heels and say "there's no place like home". This can't really be happening. It's not possible.

N O . Tony is not a pet! She's not from Earth, but she's my friend.

[ Which means "yes, kind of like a pet". ]

Anyway, no weapon, but I think I'll be okay. I've got my fists, after all.

[canofworms]

Ah, sorry. I assumed she arrived in the trunk.

[Now he thinks it's another arrival?? He's going to be so confused, yo. Thanks.]

Well, as long as you have something. You're a martial artist?

[unalienable]

[ UH OH? Oops. Well, won't he be surprised when he sees the little Grey not wearing a collar. ]

More like MMA, brawling, y'know... And, uh, well, I'm stronger than the average chick. And the average dude, too.

[What's meeting new people without a little mass confusion?]

It sounds like you can take care of yourself, but it still pays to be on your guard. The monsters here could surprise you.

What sort of monsters are they? Are the dorms safe at least? And the cafeteria? It's not gonna be fun if a troll interrupts dinner some night.

[unalienable]

...Please don't tell me that's already happened.

[canofworms]

There's too many kinds to count, I think. Birds and beasts and even some without any shape at all. The dorms and the cafeteria should be safe.

I haven't had a monster interrupt a meal yet, but I think making promises might be bad luck.

[unalienable]

Ha, right. :(

Well, since we're prison buddies now, I'm America.

I lost this tag somehow. O_O;;;

[canofworms]

Prison buddies, huh? It's a pretty luxurious prison, but not a bad way to put it.

My name is Kariya.

Is America a nickname?
