Okay, short and sweet. I've got some questions. ... And one comment, which is fuck that last trip. You think you're home free from whatever crap you've got back home, and then... bam. It's in your face. What's that about?

[ huff ]

Name's Ellie. I spent a lot of time reading back home and now that we're not in the trenches anymore, I need some reading material. Suggestions? The library's huge here and I don't even know where to start!

Uh... [ What else... She scrunches up her nose, thinking. ] Anyone up to teaching a kid to swim? Because that's something long overdue that I haven't gotten around to. And -

[ She looks a little more meekly at the camera, then glances away, chewing on the inside of her cheek. ]

There any way to get in touch with someone back home? Like... I dunno, a magic mirror so we can see they're okay? It's important. Thanks.

[FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION MAGIC MIRRORS, GUESS WHO'S BEEN READING ABOUT THEM. And guess who also just got an idea, may or may not work, we'll see how things turn out.]

There may be a way. There are artefacts from other worlds for sale at the vendors' stalls. A magic mirror would not be so unlikely to appear among their wares. Especially as one exists in my world.

Wait, seriously? Everyone said there wasn't a way. [ So the different news is welcome and Ellie watches the other woman, very interested. ] Wait, vendors? That's... different from the closets?
