Post 1: Video

[A young girl's face appears on the video feed, looking ever so slightly confused and concerned. Appearing on a public network in front of everyone is also giving her just a bit of stage fright, but they're not actually there in front of her, so it's not that bad. Besides, she has some questions that need answering.]

Hey, so... I can't help but notice that the mansion I've been staying in is gone? And also that... so are a lot of other people, it seems like. Unless there's another party somewhere I don't know about.

I was going to see if anyone had said anything about it, when I noticed I can make posts here all of a sudden, so I figured I'd ask... um...

Am I going to be living here now? Should I find a room? Is there anyone I need to talk to, or can I just... take one?

Mostly, yeah! There's lots of cool stuff and nice scenery, and the biggest library I've ever seen!

Oooh! Did you meet Evie? She's the librarian and she's seriously one of the coolest people here.

No, I don't think so. I just kinda... picked out books myself. It's a magic library, so I didn't really think about it!

Uh oh. Did I need to talk to her? Have I been stealing books???

Nah. The books are free to borrow. She's just a lot of fun to talk to. She has crazy awesome stories about being an adventurer.

Phew... That's a relief!

[Obviously, as Connie lets out a breath, resting a hand over her chest as she relaxes. Stealing books would have been a big deal, after all!]

I guess I'll see if I can find her sometime, then? Hearing about cool stories is always lots of fun, after all!

[powerofmabel]

Right? Lots of people here have pretty cool stories. It's part of that whole "different worlds" package.

[justathought]

Hmmm... How about you, then? Any stories to share on your end?

[powerofmabel]

Girlfriend, I'm full of 'em. I spent the summer in Gravity Falls, the weirdest and best town in America. One time I ate too much Smile Dip, hallucinated for awhile, and then got possessed by a ghost.

[justathought]

Oh, wow. That's definitely a cool story! And kind of scary, too. But I mean, I take it you were okay!

I guess I've got some cool stories too, though! You shared one, so it's only fair I share one too. Like the time that my friend's magic lion warped us both to some kind of armory instead of to the movie theater! And we accidentally activated what I think was some kind of training machine, that was basically a floating head that shot different elemental blasts at us. So we warped back and DID get to the movie theater- but the head followed us, so the magic lion let us pull a HUGE magic sword out of his head, which me and Steven both used to deflect it's blasts back at it and destroy it!!

It was just like tennis practice, really!

[powerofmabel]

Aside from the horrible stomachache from all the Smile Dip, sure!

[she listens to that story with wide eyes, barely able to stop herself from interjecting at intervals. she's barely finished her story when she can't contain herself anymore.] Whoa. Whoa. Your friend? Has a magic lion? Who has weapons in his head?

[justathought]

Yeah! And he's pink, too! So's the sword. A lot of stuff is pink for whatever reason.

He's got a lot of stuff in his head apparently? I think Steven kind of uses him as storage, now that he knows about that.

[powerofmabel]

'Cause pink is an awesome color.

[she sighs wistfully] Fluffy and convenient. What an all-purpose pet.

[justathought]

That's true, yeah!

Tell me about it! Lion has got to be the coolest pet ever. Everything Steven has is really cool!
