has anyone ever been to a different world or universe or whatever before ending up here, or just me?
are there any tornadoes in space? that's probably a silly question
but seriously, is there weather in space? they gave me a job as a weather girl

more importantly: has anyone seen a guy called lucas or roan and a little girl called sylvie around?

oh, and i'm a nurse, so if anyone needs help with injuries, well. there's probably some kind of medical service on board anyway, but if there isn't, feel free to come to me and i'll do what i can.

hyperspace malfunctions?

they might not be here, but if you see them, please let me know [ lucas can take care of himself and of sylvie, too, but the thought of sylvie alone somewhere makes dorothy's stomach clench unpleasantly. ] and if the girl looks scared, don't get close to her

[taggingwomprats]

Yeah, hyperspace malfunction. I think that's what causes this. Right?

Wait, why shouldn't I help her if she's scared?

[fujita]

i don't even know what hyperspace is

she turns people to stone when she's scared

[taggingwomprats]

Light speed. How you travel between systems.

And wow, that'll do it. Never heard of anyone able to do that before! Where did she learn to do that?

[fujita]

right

she's a witch. i don't know if she learned it or if she's just always been able to do it

[taggingwomprats]

A witch?

[ He thought witches were just stories. Then again, that's what people thought about the Jedi, so he can't really complain. ]

That still sounds pretty terrible if it's just on reflex.

[fujita]

a witch.
i didn't know they were real until i went to oz
they're real there. magic is.

sylvie's just a child.

[taggingwomprats]

Can't be that much different than the Force, I guess.

I'll keep an eye out for her. Hopefully she doesn't hurt anyone. Or herself.

[fujita]

the force?

[taggingwomprats]

An energy field that surrounds all of us, makes us up, binds us together. The fabric of the universe.

[fujita]

what, like god?

[taggingwomprats]

Like a god? No, not really. The Force guides your actions and you tap into it, but it's not like a god or anything like that.

[fujita]

i don't know anything like that

[taggingwomprats]

Well, it was a long shot anyway. No worries.

[fujita]

does the force guide your actions?

[taggingwomprats]

Well, yeah, sort of. It's not really complicated, but it is pretty mystical.

[fujita]

i've had enough of the mystical for a while to be honest

[taggingwomprats]

fair enough. how are oyu adjusting to this crazy place otherwise?

[fujita]

there's hot water and no one's tried to kill me yet, so i'm good

[taggingwomprats]

Definitely good things. And the food isn't bad, either.

[fujita]

is there pizza? or a burger
i miss junk food

[taggingwomprats]

I'm not sure what pizza or a burger is. So, maybe?

[fujita]

you don't know what pizza or a burger is??
wow
i'm going to find both and then you're going to have to try them

[taggingwomprats]

Oh, thanks! I think.

[fujita]

you'll be happy once you've tried them. trust me
