[Don’t adjust your tint. The woman is green, not your screen. Gamora, a very unique looking woman unless one’s used to seeing someone with her particular shade of skin, looks into the video feed uncertainly but also with a note of defiance. She will not be intimidated by this… peculiar prison so easily. Sure, it may appear to be a comfortable mansion, but a place she is brought against her will is a prison no matter what it looks like.]

My name is Gamora. It looks like we are all prisoners here. I have no quarrel with you, but should you cross me, I will not hesitate to deal with you in ways you won’t enjoy. Let’s make that clear from the start.

[She is a captive, right? And she doesn’t know if the people here are hostile or not. She’s not about to let this turn into her last prison visit.]

This is not the first time I’ve been in a prison, though this one doesn’t look like the typical style I’m used to seeing. It’s far too… well, it doesn’t matter if it’s reasonably comfortable or not.

[The less sense it all makes the more irritated she gets.]

Who is in charge here? I demand to know why I've been brought here and where my crew is.

[Whoever is in charge is probably going to get punched or worse.]

Gamora, right? [ Sam smiles weakly; better to head off a possible attack from a new arrival if possible. ] We're... technically prisoners, yeah, but we're all on the same side. The other residents are in the same boat.

[ So to speak. Literally, if they were to take a leaf out of Hook's book, but, as he remembers with a little sigh, Killian Jones is also gone. ]

What're the names of your crew? Some of them might be here.

[All on the same side? Right. Sure they are. She doesn't look too sure about that.]

Their names are Peter Quill, Drax, Rocket, and Groot. We were on board Quill's ship the Milano when I woke up here.

Uh - There's a raccoon that goes by Rocket, I think, unless that's not who you mean. The others aren't here unless they showed up at the same time as you.

[ It's a lot of weird names. The word 'ship' has him assuming space, since she doesn't seem the stereotype of a seafaring pirate. ]

They'll call in if they are, I'm sure.

[He seems very helpful, which to her seems very suspicious. People are generally after something.]

If they receive this transmission, I'm sure they will.

[She doesn't put faith in many things, but she has faith in her friends.]

Why are you trapped here?

[ And in most cases, she'd be right in being suspicious. ]

Me? I mean, we're all trapped here. Not totally sure why, but you'll probably get answers like "because the mansion is magic" or "because of the Duchess" or "the Queen of Hearts." The real answer is, we have no idea.

You're right. Those aren't real answers, but I intend to find them.

[And he probably gets the notion that she'll bust however many heads she needs to in order to do it.]

Let me know if you do.

[ His lip twitches; he can appreciate her determination if nothing else. ]

If you just got here, though, you might have other questions. I'm Sam, if that happens.

[Oh. Right. Manners.]

Thank you, Sam.

[See? She has them.]

If there's anything that might help us get out of here, I'd like to know it.

Can't help you with that. We don't have a lot of control over when we're zapped back. But - I mean, it happens all the time. People disappear, go back home for a while, then come back with more memories. Or... just don't come back at all.

[ It's exhausting for the people they leave behind in the mansion, too. ]

[Sounds annoying.]

How long have you been here?

Oh, man. Uh... two and a half years? Something like that.

[ Then, quickly: ] But I've been home since then.

That's... terrible.

[She feels bad for him, being stuck here so long. Even if he has gone home since then, he's still stuck here for now.]

Don't worry. I'm going to get all of us out of here.

[She'll rescue you, Sam Winchester!]

Oh, I mean - It's alright. Trust me, worse stuff's happened back home.

[ And he's tried to get out more than once to no effect. They all have. ]

I'll hold you to that. [ His lip twitches at a smile. ]
