--ome on, you piece of crap. [ Even if you don't know her, Leslie sounds more than a little stressed out. Her voice even sounds a bit tight but if anyone asks, she'll blame that on the whole suddenly in an unfamiliar fountain in an even more unfamiliar city thing.

She sighs and then there's just the chatter of the people near the fountain for a moment before she realizes she got her device to work. Finally. ] I really hope you guys can hear this because this is all the warning you're gonna get: when I find you, your asses are mine. [ Apparently she thinks this is only going to be heard by a couple very specific people. ] Kidnapping isn't cool, even if it's an attempt to cheer someone up. Especially then because, surprise, it doesn't work. In fact, it just kinda pisses them off.

ooc: As stated, she's in the fountain, so feel free to have your characters run into her there!

You could say that again. [ She's a little afraid of coming down with something if Natasha doesn't get here fast enough. ] Speaking of the deities -- [ because she got sidetracked with other stuff when they were mentioned to her earlier ] -- are we talking actual deities here? Or just people that call themselves that because they've got some serious egos on them?

I get the impression that even the longer-term citizens don't exactly know. They do have abilities to give us things, but only if we trade something of what they consider to be equal value. [Her bright demeanor shifts just a hint in disapproval.] Between that and the curses, it sounds as though they're toying with us.

((OOC: Sorry for the lateness! I've been very ill/in the hospital. If you don't want to return the tag that's totally understandable!))

Which means they could still be either. [ Great. That's exactly what Shay wants to deal with. ] I find it really hard to believe that nobody knows if they're legit gods or not, though. They had to've shown their hand at least once in however long it's been since they first started kidnapping people.

ooc: oh, no, it's fine! i'm sorry you've been so sick. :c i hope you're better now/get better soon!

Perhaps. Nothing that I've heard specifically, but as you observed, I'm quite new here.

[The matter is one that merits consideration, however.] I suppose one could always contact them and see how amenable they are to answering questions. I'm curious what sort of trade they might ask for to retrieve something from home.

...wait, people can actually talk to them? [ That's more than a little surprising. ] How do you go about doing that? It better not be pray and hope they give you a sign.

I have heard it is done by using our devices to filter a communique to the deities, and they will apparently answer. I haven't had the opportunity to try it myself, yet.

I'll have to give it a try sometime. [ Though she's not sure what she'd ask; the two things she wants to know the most - why they're here and how they can get home - are probably things they won't share. ]

I hope you have more success than those I've spoken with. [Although they seemed more generally wary than explicitly angry, it's enough to draw a few conclusions.] I was considering it as well, once I have my bearings. It's been a long time since I've been alone.

[ She frowns slightly. ] You don't have anyone from home here? [ She shouldn't be surprised, but Shay sort of figured that everybody had at least one person. ]

Not that I've found. And I'm relatively sure they would have contacted me. [She's sort of extremely well known back home.] I'm having to rely on, if you'll excuse the expression, the kindness of strangers.

Guess it's a good thing this place is crawling with helpful people, then. [ Shay's even more thankful for Severide's presence now. ] Maybe they'll show up in a couple days?
