[Melissa appears on camera, wearing her nursing scrubs, looking more than a little frazzled. Her jaw is set and she also looks pissed in addition to frazzled. Look out, mom on a rampage.]

Okay, you know what? It can't hurt, here goes nothing. I get here somehow I don't quite remember, and I'm told that talking to a bunch of strangers on-line will answer all my questions. I really hope that's the case, because I'm not feeling in the mood for any games.

So, tell me where I am please? And how I can get home? I don't have any on-line names, you can just call me Melissa. I don't mean to be rude, but I have a job to do and a son to raise and a mortgage to pay. So...I gotta go.

The sad thing is, after a while here, you will be.

Oooh, this is shaping up to be a great evening.

Hey, I'm not going to lie to you and leave you unprepared for the bullshit that will get flung at you as soon as probably tomorrow. Expect the unexpected here.

I do appreciate it. My son's talking a million miles a minute and it's hard to figure it all out.

Who's your son anyway? Can we give him some bourbon to slow him down?

[Angela, no.]

...He's seventeen. No.

[But she laughs, understanding it was a joke. Right?]

His name's Scott, he just got here a couple of weeks ago, according to him.

[It was a joke, but considering Angela just told Scott no one pays attention to any drinking age here...]

Oh, don't know him. [Or so she thinks.] I just got back here myself a week ago, so I can't really say who's come or gone in the year I was gone.

...Wait, I thought you said we couldn't leave. So how did you go and come back?

[thenormalsquint]

Willingly, at least. You can't come and go willingly. Sometimes, you'll just wake up and be home again. Walk through a door here, walk right back into your world. There's no rhyme or reason or any warning. Trust me. It's happened to me three times already.

Okay.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense. So there is a way back, but we have no control over it. Got it.

[thenormalsquint]

Yeah, but it's easier and closer to the truth to say you're screwed.

You know? I've actually been in worse situations. Not quite as weird, but definitely harder on my bank account.

Well, money problems aren't a stranger here, so that experience might come in handy. Not sure how handy when zombies are around, but handy nonetheless.

...Zombies. Oh, good. Just when I thought this couldn't get any weirder, suddenly we're in a George Romero movie.

B status and everything.
