[for a moment, a woman's face is simply staring out at the broadcast, consideringly, as though not sure it's started yet. she's in her early twenties, Hispanic, her dark hair braided, and dressed in the uniform of resort security]
[realizing from the display on the screen that the broadcast must have started, she says:] Hello. [the word is a bit uncertain. she swallows, trying to mask her nerves, and continues more calmly:] I'm Linda Esquivel. I'm from Chester's Mill, Maine. [there's a beat of hesitation, as she wonders if she should give more information than that, but she ultimately decides to leave the description as it is] I just got here a couple days ago, and I've joined the security patrol. I was a sheriff's deputy back home. [and sheriff, but she doesn't think two days of that job due to the disaster that happened really counts, so she leaves her credentials at that]
I thought you should know who I am in case you see me around. And, uh, I'd like to start meeting people, too--and learn a little more about this place. I've never seen anything like it before. [another pause as she debates how to end an open message like this. finally, she goes with:] I'm here if you'd like to talk.

Gallifrey. In the constellation of Kasterborous.

[she nods, not really sure how else to react to somewhere she's never heard of nor has any idea what to even ask about. after all, where she's from, a family coming through from as far away as Los Angeles was an event] Have you been here for long? And I didn't catch your name.
no subject
I first came here around six mouths ago, although I was away for a time-- business to attend to at home--and have only recently returned.
no subject
Wait. [her surprise is clear] They let you leave the resort and come back?
no subject
Narvin will do.
[He tilts his head.]
They rather encouraged us to leave in the wake of the skeleton spawner activation. Some refused to go, but I was not one of them.
And now that the offworld governments issued a planetary quarantine, imports like us are the resort's only connection to the outside universe--any outside universe. They need us. The foreign governments can blockade air space but they can't block interdimensional teleports. It was simple enough to return here.
no subject
[she nods] I heard a little about that. It sounded...difficult. [she's not sure what else you can say about a disaster that involves killer creatures appearing in the middle of a populated area. she's glad she missed it--and that they were able to contain the problem]
So you think they'll want to keep us here now. [the comment is a statement--a fact that shows no real emotion from her. but her expression is more uncertain when she adds:] Can I ask you something about going back?
no subject
[He tilts his head, curious about her question.]
You may ask. It doesn't mean I'll reply. That will depend on what the question is.
no subject
[she raises an eyebrow at his rather haughty response, but she goes ahead and asks the question anyway] I don't really know much about...travel across dimensions. When you went back, had much time passed since you left?
no subject
When I returned to my own universe, no time had passed. I've heard of some exception, but it usually appears to be able to return people to precisely at or close to the exact time and place where they left.
Afraid you left a kettle on?
no subject
[she cringes at his initial answer, but then she just looks uncertain. at his odd turn of phrase, she blinks, but she shakes her head] More the opposite. If I ever went back...it'd have to be after I left. [but she doesn't elaborate. the situation she left behind isn't one she's ready to think too much about]
Anyway, I'm glad you were able to travel when you needed to.
no subject
Once you break through the interdimensional barrier, you're entirely outside of the fabric of space-time of your own universe. Therefore, if or when you return to your own time, it should be possible for them to drop you off at absolutely any spatio-temporal point in your own universe, hypothetically.
