( Maroon is Max and blue is Yuri! )

[ What's up base, you've got two teenagers who suddenly pop in from inside the barrier, trying to get away from the tentacle monsters trying to get inside the base island.

Max definitely, absolutely screams a little here. Then screams some more when she catches sight of the guy there next to her. Because. What. The. Fuck. It isn’t even him, it’s the monsters?!

Yuri's also too busy freaking out to make any proper introductions (not like he’d really make one anyway) and he points an accusatory finger at Max. ]

Who the fuck are you! [ And then at the monsters] What the fuck are those--AH! [ One of the monsters swings a tentacle at him, and even though it won’t hit him from here, Yuri’s just peacing the heck out of there. ]

Max gasps and tries to grab at Yuri and oh boy oh man oh no, he is so not leaving her here. ] Holy shit, come back!

No way! I’m getting out of here!

Hell no, you’re not leaving me here! You’re gonna get yourself killed by those… [ she really doesn’t want to think about what those things are okay ]

[ ANGRILY GRABS ONTO HER WRIST ] Don’t just stand there, dumbass! [ He’s running off into the distance, away from those...things. ]

[ HUFFS, but lets him grab her wrist and follows him to… wherever he’s running to. ] I’m not trying to! We can’t just, like, run anywhere! What if there’s more of… [ Oh, never mind, THIS IS THEIR BEST PLAN RIGHT NOW ] Okay! Fine! We can’t be the only ones here, right?

I hope not! Shit! Where the fuck are we, anyway?!

I don’t know! How did you even get here? I’ve never… [ Wait. How did she even get here?? What was she… Oh. ] Fuck! I think I got here because I messed up! And I didn’t grab anyone or anything when I did. I’ve never even seen you.

How the hell am I supposed to know?! One minute I was in the car with my grandpa, then I woke up here! [ He remembers this really clearly! ] I’ve never seen you before either, so there’d better be a damn good explanation for this.

[ So this guy probably didn’t somehow shoot himself right into the wrong time period and/or place then, huh? How does any of this make sense then? ] I was so not in a car! There’s no way I could have just, like… Brought you here with me! Shit, I wasn’t even with anyone. You don’t… [ She shakes her head, then glances over her shoulder. Oh yeah, those things are still somewhere back there. ] Okay, this totally sounds like some stupid movie, but you don’t think those things did it, do you?!

[ Yuri, disappointingly, is no time traveler whatsoever. He’s looking at her like she’s spurting nonsense. ] Hah? What the hell are you talking about? I told you I’ve never seen you before in my life! [ HE IS SO DISTRESSEd RIGHT NOW but he looks back at the tentacle monsters. Damn, those things are really freaking him out and he makes a face at them through the barrier. ] I don’t fucking know--I don’t care who are what did it, just get me the hell out of here!

[ In hindsight, which she has none of at the moment thank you, just shooting her mouth off as if he had any idea about her power was a Bad Idea. ] Okay. Okay, never mind! I just… don’t know how to get us out of here! [ SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO TAKE PEOPLE BACK??? And would it even work where would they go would they just end up back at Chloe’s house or his grandpa’s car?? ] Um. There’s gotta be someone else here, right?! It can’t just be all monsters! Just… Just run faster! Till we find someone or somewhere to hide?!

[ That would literally be dragging Yurio into a different universe oh my god. He doesn’t make a huge deal out of it though, more concerned about not dying and looking around frantically. His hand’s still on her wrist and he starts dragging her in a random direction. ] Hey! Anyone out there? Anyone?! [ Someone has to answer, right…… ]

[ Whew, okay, yeah, he’s got the right idea! He’s got the right idea! Time to shout at the top of her lungs here. ] Hey! Hey, somebody help! Anybody!

[ Feel free to hear parts of or the entire conversation telepathically, run into them and reassure them that this is fine etcetc. ]

The people here are very kind. I... I'm not sure how I would have reacted being here if it wasn't for that.

[ well, she would have freaked out, probably. ]

I guess that's good... [Yeeaaaah, she's not sure what she would have done either if she hadn't seen anyone when she woke up here.] Was this what it was like for you, too? You just... [She shrugs.] Woke up here and found people?

I actually arrived on another island with someone else. One of URSULA's drones found us and lead us to the base.

[ she then adds, ] That was before the aliens showed up.

[Max frowns. That sounds a lot nicer than her welcome here, honestly. And it's pretty interesting that Izetta didn't arrive alone either...] And that was it? No monsters, no aliens? No weird... I don't know, questioning or anything?

[And, because she realizes she's kind of missed a lot here,] Wait, who's URSULA?

Oh, she's the AI who runs the base.

[ wait. ]

She didn't bring us here! She, um, her ship crash landed so she's as stuck as the rest of us.

[ izetta is a member of the #USULADefenseSquad so she felt the need to jump to that explanation ]

Whoa, wait. You're telling me there's, like, a real life AI here? [Okay, weird. Totally weird. But cool. She can focus on that.] Hell yes, that's fucking awesome.

[And she'll believe Izetta here. Because she'd so rather not have to think about some rogue AI.]

So she didn't do it, so it's... what? The people who made her ship crash that got us here or something?

We're actually still not sure what brought us here. But there's this thing on this planet that's called the pulse, and it shoots that anything that enters the planet's atmosphere.

[ she imitates a ship crashing with her hand. ]

But we're pretty sure that's not how we got here.

[Max winces. Oh. Ouch.]

But it's what brought URSULA here? Maybe it's buds with whatever brought us here.

Maybe... we're hoping to figure that out.

[So no one knows yet, huh?] Damn...

I don't suppose the people working on that would like some more help, huh? Not that I could do that much...

Edited (oops) 2017-01-27 07:03 (UTC)

They'd love help! And I'm sure you can find something you can do. I don't think anyone has come here with any idea of what to do, but...

[ they have managed not to die? ]

And there's a lot of other things we're working on besides that too.

I get it. This isn't really something you plan for or anything, I guess.

[Oh!! That's interesting though.]

What, uh, other things are you working on?

We're in the process of building a second base on the island outside. And fortifying the island in general for defenses.

[ izetta is especially interested in that because of... her background... ]

Wowsers... [Yeah... Yeah, she can definitely see how that would be useful.]

Yeah, I bet you'll need a hell of a lot of help for that. Maybe even I can find something to do with those.

You can definitely help! There's a girl named Annabeth who's in charge. I haven't actually met her yet, but she can probably give you more information about it than I can.

Annabeth... Annabeth, got it. Thanks, Izetta! I'll remember that.

You're welcome!

[ she smiles, but then the smile turns a little sad. ]

I know this is scary, but the people here do make it a little easier.

Thanks. [She's. Gotta thank her again for that. She's gotta.]

That's... [A short laugh.] Actually really fucking good to hear. Though it's probably weird to say I'm glad you're all here...

It's not weird. People probably want to go home, but...

[ she just kind of. gestures at everything?? ]

Friends make it easier.

Misery loves company, huh? [She's joking. Really.]

Nah, I... Any one of us who has here alone would probably go crazy, huh?

URSULA must have been really happy when we showed up.

[She huffs out a laugh.] I guess I hadn't thought of that yet. She was probably really lonely before people started getting here...

You should talk to her! She gave everyone Christmas gifts. I, um, arrived right before that holiday, so I was very surprised she thought of me. It just shows what kind of person she is.

[ person. not computer program. ]

Wow, that's... seriously really nice of her. Wow.

I guess... maybe I will. If she's really that nice. And if she gets lonely...

[WEIRD BUT.. okay. Not like she's ever met an AI before, she can buy that this is what an AI is like, kinda like a human.]

[ well, some ai are apparently murderous, but. they have yet to run into ISHMAEL so whatever. ]

She'll appreciate it! You're very nice, Max.
