[ If anyone is hanging out in the square, they'll see a very confused looking teenager slowly bringing what is not his cell phone closer to his face. And if anybody is looking at the network, they see the adorable can't be mad at that face moving closer to the screen. He tilts his head, perplexed. He looks around. Nobody else looks completely confused.

But, wait. He hears other people on this thing. He squints. Could this be some kind of mass communication device? Give a gold star to Scott McCall as he looks around him and then back down. ]

Can anybody hear me? Or, see me? Anyone know how far away I am from Beacon Hills? [ Or how he even got here? ] It's in California. [ This doesn't look like California. He'd ask for help but it's not exactly something he wants to do. He can handle this. It reminds him of those times he woke up miles from home. But, that was a wolf thing. Could this be true alpha related? Is this something he has to look forward to? ] Or, if anybody near me has a cell, I need to reach some people. [ Or, at least his mother. Hi Mom. I'm all right. I just woke up in a strange place. ] Thanks.

[ But, he pauses. His nose picks something up. Yes. He distinctly smells something familiar. Or, mouth-watering. It's not clear. And that's all the network gets as he brings it back down to his side. But, the video continues as he's walking in some nondescript direction. ]

It's actually not magic. It's technology.

[ Magic is srs bsnss. But, she does sound a bit... morose. Oh, a change in tone! ]

They are. [ Realm? ] They have. My best friend's here. And another friend. [ He can never call Derek a friend. But, wolf I have complicated feelings towards would just be super awkward. ] Thanks for making sure. Are there any others from your realm?

Like the other appliances, I assume? But they run on magic. I heard it was lightning magic transferred through cords.

[ That's the only way she could comprehend it, though she's still a little wary about them becoming sentient. She's seen them move of their own accord before. ]

And that's a relief to hear. This place is easier to adapt to with familiar faces around I myself have one of my comrades with me, and a few weeks ago, we had more visitors, though they left just as quickly as they appeared.

They run on power. Electricity. Where are you from? [ A third world country? No judgments! Then again, this is the first time ever Scott could hear where she's from and identify what continent/country she's from. Little does he know! ]

They left town? [ On the one hand, sorry your friends left. On the other, they, much like Scott, probably had things to do. He'd be out of here as soon as he fetched Stiles and Derek. ]

Yes, exactly. Electricity is lightning magic, and I am from the Halidom of Ylisse. [ ...Or what's left of it, at least. Still, she's not sure what's perplexing about the concept. ]

And they appeared to have returned to their home. I'm sure if they were capable of it, they would have helped rescue everyone here. We all just needed more time together.

[ That doesn't even remotely ring a bell. And he's studied geography. ]

What country is that in?

Sorry you didn't get more time. Did they ever come back?

I'm not sure what you mean. Ylisse is the name of the country. It's bordered by Ferox and Plegia, though if those names aren't familiar, then I assume you're from another realm.

[ Has no one bothered to explain that part to him? Why must she always be the bearer of bad news here... ]

And I'm afraid not. They were here for a day and then they vanished without a trace.

I'm from Earth. I've never heard of either of those. [ Another dimension, then. So, now they've surpassed time and space. ] It must be another dimension altogether.

[ No, he got the message. Don't worry. ]

Only a day?

I've never heard of earth myself, but you will find that many people come from different lands of different names here. Our purpose is still unclear, however... It feels like we're being toyed with and used for the amusement of these deities.

[ She hasn't yet determined any good reasons why they've brought here. ]

But yes- it was only a day. I can't tell you the purpose of their visit, either. It seems strange to me, as well.

With curses.

[ He hasn't heard any to contribute! ]

You think everyone is here with a purpose.

I certainly hope so. If not... then why are we here? Why are we being kept from our homes? Why did those from our homes come here to visit us temporarily? There must be something the deities are gaining from our presence.

[ Not that she even has the slightest clue of it at the moment, but she's clinging to the belief that this all just isn't random. ]

Forgive me, I shouldn't burden you with these thoughts at your arrival. If anything, we have one another to rely on. You won't be alone.

The deities aren't gone?

[ Nothing is random. Scott knows this. ]

Hey, if you need anything, my name's Scott. You won't be either. You aren't. [ Alone. ]

I don't know for certain. Many claim to have defeated them, but I can't say I whether or not there is much truth to the matter myself.

[ That whole group still sounds rather suspect to her. She couldn't give them her aid for the reason, but hearing him introduce himself does perk her spirits up a bit. She finally smiles. ]

I am Lucina. Please don't hesitate to find me if you're ever in trouble.

[ That seems to be the consensus. ]

You too. We're friends, now. Really. Don't hesitate.
