[ the picture flickers on to show a room that's slowly being encased on ice and a woman pacing around, not noticing she's being watched ]

Someone has a lot of nerve, bringing me here.

the chick below slinging aspersions about me in pink is roxy and she has like spooky mysterious nothingness powers
i think maybe two thirds of the people i know on the island are magical or supernatural in some way
its a pretty chill place to be most of the time
as a lowly pizza boy im not qualified to answer the big questions like how did they bring us here or where did i put my room keys but i can cover the basics
like a map of every coffee joint in the downtown area

I'm at ... [ she frowns ] the hospital? Yes, that's what it's called.

ok one second

[And literally that's all it takes before Dave's there at the hospital, poking his head in doors to see if he can find the new arrival.]

[ she steps out, holding herself high, but there's a lightness in her step ]

David, I presume?

[callbacks]

Haha, nah, just Dave. Mom likes to add extra syllables where they don't go, she's always been generous with the gifts. Nice to meet you.

[He sticks a hand out to shake. Someone missed the royalty memo.]

[icesolation]

[ It surprises her briefly, but it's not long and she shakes it gently ]

It is a pleasure, Dave.

[callbacks]

You are hells of polite.

[He starts to lead the way, still half-turned towards her.]

So what's your name? I didn't catch it before.

[icesolation]

I am a queen, Dave. My name is Elsa. I rule the kingdom of Arendelle.

[callbacks]

Oh. Uh, queens get 'Your Majesty,' right? Or do I have that backwards.

[icesolation]

There's no need for that. Elsa is fine.

[callbacks]

You sure? I mean, just because I'm weird and American and teenage doesn't mean I can't respect a title that actually means something outside a computer game.

[icesolation]

Right now, it doesn't mean anything. I'm not a queen here, so it's fine.

[callbacks]

Well, okay, but I'm pretty sure you don't just stop being a queen. The Mayor's still the Mayor when he visits other towns, right?

[icesolation]

That's true, but there's no need for such formality. At least, not over coffee.
