poly_chromatic | one echo

[One would think spending one second in a space ship and another in a zoo would rattle a person. However, when Jenny lands on the ground with a thump, she isn't necessarily rattled. No, she's excited.] Hello, what's this?

[She picks up the device next to her and studies it for a brief moment before looking up excitedly at the massive creature in front of her. An elephant, not that she knows that.] Oh hello, what are you? [Getting to her feet, she reaches out to gently pet the trunk of the beast.] Trapped here in a cage, like me? Doesn't seem fair.

[It takes her no time at all to work out the device in her hand, the video coming to life. She smiles excitedly into the screen. The elephants trunk can be seen inspecting her hair, her shoulder, her face. She doesn't seem to mind it one bit.] Excuse me. I found your cages. And while I understand the necessity of them given certain situations, I must insist that you allow the more harmless creatures their freedom. It doesn't seem ri- [The elephant's trunk pokes her in the side and she laughs and looks up to him in response.] Oh, that tickles!

[This is pure delight showing on Jenny's face. She remembers Donna well and quite fondly at that. Not only was Donna kind to her, she also convinced her dad that she was more than an echo. Really, she has Donna to thank for the path she set herself on after she was healed back on Messaline.]

Donna! Oh, if I could hug you through this little mechanism, I would! Dad said you were here. He said lots of his people are here. And did you know I have another dad here? Two dads! How brilliant is that?

I can't even believe it! Are you still at the zoo? I'm at the Welcome Center, I could come meet you if you like.

Dad's walking me to somewhere because we couldn't save the elephant. It's where it's supposed to be, apparently.

[She still doesn't quite understand why they couldn't rescue the elephant, but she's accepting it because it must be so.]

Do you know what planet this is? Were just suddenly here like I was?

I'm sure you'll be at the apartment, I can meet up with you there. And it's actually what they're all calling a pocket dimension? I guess we're tucked away in a crossroads of sorts?

Tucked away in a pocket dimension?? That's fantastic! This is my first time to ever be tucked away much less in a pocket dimension.

[And yes, she definitely has a child-like excitement about it all. But then most people who were created for one specific purpose and had never experienced anything but that purpose (albeit short-lived) would be excited about new things like this. Especially when Donna and her dad(s)™ were here.]
