[She's still trying to determine whether this is wise, but the offer had been a saving grace for her. She wanted anything that could remove her from the mountains and the horrors of war. This may not be what her father intended for her with her life, but this life was her choice.

That at least would comfort at night.]

My name is Alice Munro and I am new to this ship. [Ship. That in itself would take time to grow used to. It wasn't like the ship that brought her to the colonies at all.]

Those that are wardens, if you would be so kind to offer me advice perhaps on those here assembled? I know why I am here, but I would like to be made aware of what I am in store for. I do not want to be caught unawares. Not again.

[She hesitates before addressing the inmates.]

Those that are imprisoned, if you also have any information about the ship itself, I should be grateful.

Yes, except for when extraordinary things happen and people get hurt.

[moon_in_her_hair]

I've never heard of Germany. [It was Prussia in her time, but she is starting to figure everything out.] So many countries at war. What started it all? Do you know?

[For France and England to be allies is mind boggling.]

[moon_in_her_hair]

What sort of extraordinary things happen here?

[mercurialize]

[He thinks a while before giving a simple shrug.]

Don't know. I just got back here. Not too homesick yet.

[withtheoldbreed]

Prussia. Sorry. [Gene likes history, but it's sort of strange, editing yourself to try and explain all of it to someone who doesn't have the same context that you do.

He wonders if this is how other people feel, talking to him.

And he does know, but, wow. This is gonna be hard to explain.]

It's complicated. [He lets out a breath, trying to figure out where, exactly, to start.] There was another year about thirty years ago, where Germany lost. A lotta people were upset about how it ended and decided they wanted to make Germany a world power again, so this guy Hitler convinced everyone to put him in charge, and he basically tried to take over Europe. Parts of Africa, too, and he would've gone farther if people hadn't tried to stop him.

Japan wanted more or less the same thing, but in the Pacific.

You'll have to wait and see, since it's difficult to describe in one go. It's really quite something.

[moon_in_her_hair]

May I ask...where is home?

[moon_in_her_hair]

[That's quite a bit to take in. Thinking that Prussia would try to take over or that they think they can, it's shocking. Only recently did England even beat France.]

So all of these nations banded together to stop Pr..Germany and Japan? A war of the worlds then?

[moon_in_her_hair]

I look forward to it.

[mercurialize]

I'm from Cenaria. Ever heard of it? Most here haven't. Actually, pretty sure no one has.

[moon_in_her_hair]

I haven't, but I haven't heard very much about any of these places. I wouldn't think much of it regarding my information pool.

[withtheoldbreed]

That's what they're calling it.

[moon_in_her_hair]

Was that where you were before you were brought here?

Action

[strangehistorian]

No, I'm a warden too! Very alive.

[mercurialize]

I don't think most have, really. So where are you from? I mean, you said here, [he gestures to the landscape.] but what would you say to someone who didn't know about it. What's it called?

Action

[moon_in_her_hair]

[She blushes, realizing her error.]

I'm sorry. I hope I didn't cause offense.

[moon_in_her_hair]

It's London. Our family home didn't have a name, but we lived on the edge of London. At least until my father was stationed in the American Colonies.

[mercurialize]

So.. is that Earth?

[Because everyone seems to be from there. Or, well, most.]

[moon_in_her_hair]

[She nods, forgetting that the planet sometimes needed to be added.]

It is hard to believe I'm not on Earth anymore.

[mercurialize]

[He can empathize at least to a certain extent.]

That.. takes time. I think when you're finally home you'll be surprised you aren't on the barge anymore. It's like that. But at least you can have a bit of home while you're here, right?

Action

[strangehistorian]

Oh, it's fine! It was a grammatical error on my part, I think!

[She taps her chin.]

[moon_in_her_hair]

A better part of home. One that only has good memories.

[She smiles at him happily. This was the perfect room and she is grateful that he showed it to her.]

Thank you.

Action

[moon_in_her_hair]

Where are you from, if I may ask?

[mercurialize]

[He shrugs.]

You would've found it eventually. There's more to see as well. Not exactly as impressive as this, but still worth noting where it is.

[moon_in_her_hair]

I would like to see more. Where should we go next?
