Hiiiiii. [ Yeah, this is awkward. Calista still doesn’t have her costume, so she’s trying to do her best lost-teenager-in-Wonderland impersonation, as opposed to her ‘I’m 90% sure someone with Powers zapped me here’ self. She grins, waves at her captive audience, and then immediately huffs a piece of hair out of her face. ]

Okay, so. Step one: be kidnapped. Step two: introduce yourself to your kidnappees? Is that how it goes? Is there a training manual, or instructional video, or like a series of things on Youtube to help a girl out? An awful lot of you guys look used to this whole shitty situation, which is one part worrying and one part kinda bad-ass, if I’m gonna be honest.

Anyway, my name's Calista. Any chance Retro Girl’s going to swoop in and save the day?

[ Calista, your ego is showing. ]

[Have a sort of tired-looking lady in the whole doctor getup - coat, stethoscope, everything. Maxine's still managing the fallout from the past week, and sleep is a thing that happens once all the injuries are treated.]

That does seem like the general pattern. Sadly, it doesn't look like anyone here has gotten around to inventing Youtube yet. Even though there are definitely days that could have been improved by some cute animal videos.

There's a term for that: Stockholm Syndrome.

[ Despite the seriousness of her tone (and her face, for that matter), Belle shifts in her seat. Her mouth quirks upward at the corner, and she holds the device out a bit more in front of her. Thankfully, she became a bit more used to technology before this happened. ]

But something tells me this doesn't exactly qualify as a kidnapping. Legally, at least.

...It's not...you weren't...kidnapped. Not really.

Retro Girl?

[It sounds like a legitimate enough superhero name. As much as any she's ever heard of back home, anyway. But it's definitely not one she's heard of and, usually, Kate's pretty up to date with the current listing of heroes back home. It's completely possible she's from another Earth. That's a common enough occurrence around here.

She waves it off a second later, dismissing her own question with a brief wave of the hand. There's more important things, aren't there?]

Anyone point you in the direction of the pamphlet yet? It's not Wiki or anything, but it's better than nothing.

[Okay, this girl is someone Krissy gets. The whole not being perfectly fine with being kidnapped? Yeah. That's all sorts of her.]

People really do seem totally fine with all this. I still don't get.

[And cue as close to a friendly smile as Krissy can manage that doesn't make her look dangerous and about to shoot something in the face. Instead she looks more like she might just maim it.

Give her some credit, here. She's trying, at least.]

Welcome to the madhouse, by the way. I'm Krissy. [a pause] And who in the crap is Retro Girl? [Sorry Calista.]
