[Wriggle sits at the terminal with her chin resting in her hands. She seems rather tired and irritable in her expression and the way she moves but when she speaks it seems almost bored]

So I've been thinking a lot, and then I realised that I'm not very good at thinking. I'm getting kinda sick of this place, I don't remember the last time I was somewhere that wasn't here but I've got important stuff to do.

You guys know the monsters that have been running around, right? The one with the blue mask, which one is that? That girl... Ruana? I was talking to her but she wasn't making any sense something about killing them when they're normal but I don't know what that means.

I know I don't really know a lot of you guys and I really hate to ask for help but do any of you know what we're s'posed to do? I don't wanna just lay low while all this stuff happens, I wanna do something but I don't know what.

I just hate feeling so useless all the time.

[From her, that's actually quite a big thing to admit]

[wrigurun]

Oh...

[The fact that she isn't here leaves her fate pretty crystal clear to Wriggle. Even though some people said their worlds weren't really destroyed it's not like she had any proof]

I'm sorry about that. Um... Is there anyone else maybe? Who else is here from your home?

[wegotlucky]

[He doesn't want to think about what has happened to Emma. He can't stand it.]

One person. But he and I don't really get along.

[wrigurun]

Oh... I guess that's okay too? There are some people from my world here that I don't get along with. Although if I were a monster I wouldn't want to be stopped by one of them.

I think I'd want to be stopped by Meiling! She's really strong and super nice and I know she would do it to protect me rather than hurt me.

[wegotlucky]

[He can't entirely being himself to tell her that said person is his father. It's complicated, in part because he really would want to be saved by him, if only because it would mean that maybe, somewhere, there was hope for something resembling a real family there.]

I hope that you don't need to be saved from something like that. Being turned into one of those monsters would be awful.

[wrigurun]

Sounds like it. You did things you didn't mean to, didn't you? I hate not being in control of myself, especially when there are so many things here you can't control, y'know?

I bet it won't come to it though! Thanks to you I learned not to be so careless!

[She'll probably forget]

If you don't have any friends from home maybe there's someone you met here you can trust?

[wegotlucky]

[He smiles ever so slightly.]

I'm glad something good came of it.

I... I'm going to try talking to that person. If anyone can help me, I think he can.

[wrigurun]

Huh? Which person?

[wegotlucky]

The person from my world. I... I know him, I just don't get along with him very well.

[wrigurun]

Do you really think someone like that would help?

[wegotlucky]

Probably. Hard to tell.

[wrigurun]

Uh... Well, I guess I gotta trust you on that.

[She gives a sigh]

It better work though. I don't wanna not have revenge but I don't wanna beat up a guy who didn't know what he was doing either.

[wegotlucky]

If it doesn't work, you can come beat me up anyway.

[It's said with a smile.]

[wrigurun]

Hmm, well just a little. I'll kick you in the shins and call it a day.

[wegotlucky]

[He chuckles a bit.]

It's a deal.
