Okay, you guys, you can come out now! This so totally isn't even funny! No, seriously, it's about as funny as the time you put me on the porch. I get it, I'm a heavy sleeper, but if you want me to wake up, then like, just wake me up!

Ugh, geez, what I even wearing? Seriously, this is- Oooh, this is actually kind of cute. Oh, oooh, my clothes! They're right here!

...Oh, no way! They cut holes in the back?! This is my favorite shirt, too! And they didn't even leave me a coat. It's like, totally FREEZING! It's SNOWING! THEY DUMPED ME OUT IN THE SNOW!

_{[She lets out an exasperated sigh.]}

Geez, where am I anyway? It wasn't even snowing earlier, was it? Is there even a forest anywhere near our neighborhood!? Ow! Ow, OW! My back...! What did those guys do?!

_{[She's silent for a few moments.]}

Omigosh. Omigosh are these wings? Why do I have wings? I have wings!

I have wings.

Omigosh, I'M DEAD! WHY AM I DEAD!?

_{[Anyone who is around the area may see a teenage girl tromping about in the snow, talking to herself and completely flipping her lid.]}

I know that I'm stuck here, I can't go home and that's awful and I hate it.

_{[She's...not adjusting well.]}

I... [Suddenly he feels like he's a lot more pleasant than he thought. Wonder why...] Th... th-that's true, I... guess.

Have... d-do you know about the...? [He awkardly and jerkishly gestures to his own journal.]

Um, y-yeah. Someone told me about it, uh, just a little bit ago. It's still kind of weird, though...

_{[She starts to kind of inspect her own journal, a quizzical expression on her face.]}

[He nods. Using a book at all is strange for him.] A-alright. Then...

... I-it can be very... useful. Y-you can just talk into it [instead of rea... wait. She probably can read.] ... i-if you need to know something. ... F-from others.

Huh. So, it's kind of like a phone with pages. Okay, that's...Wait, that's still weird.

But if I talk into it, then like, what are the pages even for?

_{[By now, she's too busy trying to comprehend this...bookphonething to be all that nervous.]}

Like a phone?

But... th-the pages are to see who y-you're talking to. A-and if you want to... [What's that word?] ... a-answer t-to another's... voice. ["Recording" would've been a better word to use, but he doesn't know it quite so well.]

Yeah. You use it to talk to people who are far away. Like a phone.

_{[The idea that there are people (or beasts) here who don't know what a phone is doesn't occur to her. She's really starting to get pretty amazed at this thing.]}

So it has video and stuff, too...? Golly, it's like something out of some kids' show or something! Wow~

[Shrug.] A-alright then. [He'll just take her word for it. He won't ruin her fun.

But...] Kids'... show?

Yeah, like, those shows for little kids where they always have those really bizarre stories about going to other worlds that could never really happe-

_{[She stops short and gives this statement some thought. She's been brought to another world, given wings and is talking to a giant animal person about a telephone-camera-journal-thing.]}

...Um.

[Um indeed. He... just assumes she means "shows" as in, maybe like one of those minstrel shows he's heard about? With children?] ... Wh... [Okay, he's just shrugging now. Whatever they are, she is obviously in another world so it can obviously happen.]

W... w-well there's... a guide in it... somewhere. It... t-tells you a lot of things.

[Though what those things are are beyond him.]

A guide...?

_{[She starts flipping through the journal, trying to find this guide he's talking about.]}

That sounds pretty useful, I guess... Wish I would have known that sooner. _{Maybe I wouldn't have made an idiot of myself...}

[He shakes his head at that, but it's because of how stupid he feels not being able to read it at all himself. To her, it probably looks more like, "No, you're not an idiot." Now what next...]

Uh... [Looks around.] H-have you found the Welcome Center y-yet?

_{[Though she does indeed misunderstand the gesture, she does smile a bit. Even a tiny bit of assurance is always nice.]}

Um...I've heard about it. I, like, haven't quite been there yet, though.

D-do you know wh-where it is? [Feeling a little more awkward now that she's starting to smile.]

Well...No.

But if this thing has a guide in it, it I bet I can find it!

...

So... y-you don't... need me anymore? [He somehow feels a little disappointed about this. He was expecting more to it.]

O-Oh... Uh...

It's, um, it's not that! It's just...W-well, people say that the best way to learn is to try on their own, right?

[...

... Well that explains a lot.]

I... h-have never heard of that.

...Oh.

Well, it's a good idea, right? Well, I guess there are times when a person would need someone to help out...But it's good to at least try, I think.

[He nods. She is right... he's kind of useless now.] S-so I...

... I-I'll leave you to... to...? [Awkwardly points to her journal. Hopefully she knows what that means.]

Huh?

_{[It takes her a second, but she gets it.]}

Oh! Right!

And um...Thanks for telling me how this thing works and stuff! It looks like it would have been like, super hard otherwise...

[Oh yes, it's very easy.] Y-your welcome.

[Turning around now before his lack of true knowledge becomes more obvious. Where was he going again? Oh right, his house needs food.]
