[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.

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

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

[moon_in_her_hair]

May I ask...where is home?

[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.

[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?

[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?

[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.

[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?
