[That's...a bit much of a gesture. But it's kind of amusing. Also, bless you, Kara, she's 3 years younger and absolutely would've quirked a brow if she heard that.]

Well...we don't exactly have much guidance here, and I don't see a way home, so that might be our only real choice. On the other hand, we have no idea what all this entails. So we might really be in for it if we just play along too much.

I think I'm opting for the middle, personally. Trying to find a way home while keeping up the idea that I'm being a 'trainer' at the same time. I tried to ask 'Mom' some questions, but she basically kicked me out. And now we're here.

So you seem like the first normal person so far. Not the best odds, but two against one is something. Or...four? Against...who knows how many. [She grimaces.]

I'm Veronica, by the way. And you?
