[ She was told to think these, these...Communications? She was told many things. Difficult to sort through them all, but still: she must make some attempt. She's alone, and she has never been alone. ]

Hello?

( - must sound far more bold mustn't seem frightened-)

My name is Katrina.

(- don't think of the sea don't think of the metal in my neck the piece of metal jutting there inextricable don't think of how far from home don't think-)

This is all - strange. I am not one to use such a word so liberally.

( - if the glass breaks I shall drown I shall be crushed beneath the weight of the ocean never realized how deep and what beasts linger there swimming in the shadows how dark -)

This place is a wonder, indeed. But I confess it frightens me. There is so much of the world I never knew.

( - perhaps I have gone mad perhaps dreaming perhaps I have died where is my mother? where is -)

So much I could never have imagined.

Hello Katrina. I'm Steve. I'm used to waking up in new places, it does get easier.

Hello Katrina, I'm Alex. I promise that you don't need to worry, you're not dead and you'll definitely get used to this place. It'll just take some time. But yeah, it definitely is very strange to start.

Don't ya worry, honey. The glass up there ain't gonna be breaking. It can handle anything that's thrown at it. Besides, if it does than ya ain't gotta worry about drowning. Ya won't even know it.

Your thoughts are rather loud, but honestly, if the domes were to shatter, drowning would be the least of your concerns.

Still, welcome to the bottom of the ocean, Katrina. I am Loki of Asgard.

Hello, Katrina, welcome.

[Sansa's voice is warm, if not formal.]

I completely understand what you're going through- this world and all it's advancements are a far cry from where I call home. My name is Sansa Stark.

There's no reason to be afraid, at least not now. [ Her voice has a very slight English accent. ] I'm certain it's quite overwhelming but you're not alone.

Katrina? That's a lovely name. My name's Carol. It is a bit scary at first, but I think you'll like it here.

That does little to reassure me, I fear; you see, I am not enamored of the idea of this occurring more than once.

(- what does he mean is he a transient a vagrant a murderer he might be a highwayman papa has told tales of highwaymen oh where is papa - )

I appreciate your efforts -

(- Mr. Steve Meneer Steve how is it spelled Steve s t e e v Steve is his Christian name it's terribly inappropriate -)

Steve.

How much time, do you suppose?

(- Alex as in Alexander no no Alexandra a fine name a good name -)

That is, will I be here long enough to...

( - yeah meaning yes odd word yeah like yea but yeah -)

- get used to it?

How would I fail to notice such a thing?

( - strange manner speech difficult to comprehend like those men from Virginia -)

Would I not notice the sound of it, the rush of water, the force -

( - I am frightened oh I am frightened I must be brave I mustn't let them see mother would want me to be brave girls can care for themselves she says-)

Mm.

I was told to think my...communications.

( - he speaks true my thoughts clamor Loki of Asgard why does that name where did I hear such a name I have known some men named Loki but Asgard serpent no Midgard serpent old tale grandmother's tales -)

What more pressing concern might I have beyond the rush of the ocean upon me?

( - a fair distraction good distraction perhaps i will tell him the tales perhaps he knows them himself think of the serpent stories and not of the weight of the sea above- )

I confess I feel - ha - at sea.

( - could i not have thought of a better euphemism -)

Perhaps in another setting - with trees and sky in view - I would better appreciate these marvels.

( - she is the first to offer a surname i am glad she has done so it seems not all courtesy has fallen but did i not only offer my own Christian name i have been the discourteous one -)

Where do you call home?

Thank you. Thus far I have been the recipient of comfort from strangers who owe me nothing.

( - her voice is nearly as mine is she a Patriot or a Loyalist or does it matter think of the fields think of the livestock slain can she be trusted oh unfair unfair of me perhaps she is only like myself -)

What is your name, if I may ask?

Carol. I have never heard that name.

(- like a holiday carol like a song i do i like it very much -)

Like a song.

People have been kind. I feel my fear is growing apart from me.

( - so long as I do not think of the sea -)

Thank you.

It does seem that most here are unusually helpful. [ Perhaps a bit suspiciously so. Though that could simply be because there would be nothing gained from making enemies in such a closed environment. ]

My name is Elizabeth Braddock. Most call me Betsy.

Yes, like a song. I'm glad you're settling in. It may be a long time before you go home.

[Sansa nearly snorts at that, but instead, Katrina gets a small laugh.]

Even my- [Friend? Lover?] -partner is at odds and he has spent a great deal of his life on top of the waves, not below them.

I come from a place called Westeros. I don't expect you to know where that is, no one here does.

You sound as if you may need a drink.

[Oh no, this girl reminds her of too many humans who showed up in Hadestown still not quite understandin' the mess they'd gotten themselves into, and Persephone thinks that she'd probably be spillin' the emotions everywhere even if there weren't that thing in their heads.

So, her voice is gentle.]

Where ya at, honey?

It can be different for everyone, but it definitely will happen. And yeah, I think you might be. Here, I mean. Most people tend to be.

But you will get used to it and it will be okay.

[A slight sense of amusement comes across the network as he listens to her thoughts.]

Tell me, Katrina. When you write a correspondence, do you transcribe your thoughts? [And a beat.] Loki of Asgard is familiar to you? Perhaps from legends from the past, tales of gods and conquest and wild men of the north?
