[Some people might be glad to find out that they're no longer fictional. Some might maturely go about the sudden news with dignity and caution. Others might dive into the opportunity to learn about the "real world" as much as they can, quickly coming to terms with their new lives. Surely, a few have taken the most rational routes possible or even found humor in their new whereabouts.

Alisha is in none of those categories.]

Someone needs to tell me wot the fuck is going on right now.

[Does she believe anything the hospital staff told her? No. Not in the least. Actually, she's of the opinion that some storm-empowered jerk is running around, using his power to change everything up, some way, somehow. At any rate, there has to be someone in this God-forsaken place that knows what's truly going on; without any way of knowing where to even begin looking for a person, she turns to mass video.]

At the very least, please tell me someone else out there doesn't believe all that hospital doctor bullshit.

It's entirely possible. Hence my continued skepticism, but if Harry Potter shows up, I'm sold.

[easy_a]

Or he could be another mental. I think I'm just going to keep telling myself that. Makes more sense, yeah?

[Even if someone who can use "magic" shows up, he could still be a mental, albiet one with superpowers. That much isn't foreign to Alisha; after all, it seems like most of the other storm-hit people in Wertham have some sort of issue.]

I've been where you are. We'll see how you feel in a week or so. You might be approaching the same middle ground I've found by then.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Guess we'll see when the time comes.

[But for now, she's doubtful she will. Too much weird shit that went on back home to just readily believe what the hospital arseholes told her.]

[Video]

[animator]

All that said?

I don't trust the doctors as far as I can throw them, even if it all does turn out to be true. Something about this place stinks.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Seriously.

I don't know wot's actually going on, but wotever it is, it's really fucking weird.

[Video]

[animator]

At least twelve different shades of shady.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Fucking great.

...Name's Alisha, by the way. You might as well know.

[Video]

[animator]

Anita Blake. It's a pleasure, Alisha.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Anita. Got it.

Anyways, good luck with the mentals who think they're Sherlock Holmes.

[Video]

[animator]

Thank you. I may need it. They're both insufferable know-it-alls.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Buy some vodka if they have it here. It'll help the aches you got at the end of the day from them.

[Video]

[animator]

[She laughs, though briefly.]

They have vodka, but I don't drink. I'll stick with coffee, thanks.

[Video]

[easy_a]

Serious? [WHAT. HOW. DOES NOT COMPUTE.]

Why not? It's not like a little bit of booze is going to kill you.

Please don't tell me you're like some virtue virgin or something.

[Video] that face. XD

[animator]

[She shakes her head, but doesn't seem the least bit offended.]

Nope. Nothing against people who drink. That's fine with me. I just don't like to be caught unawares. If I'm going to cut loose, I like to be in full control of exactly how loose and when.

I usually have a lot of people trying to kill me. Having my judgement impaired isn't really a good idea.

[easy_a]

You can control how much your drink. It's not like you have to get completely smashed or anything.

...Uh, are they still trying to kill you now? [Because if not, giiiiiirl you need to live a little and party.]

[Video] I love her already. XD

[animator]

It's just not for me. I never acquired the taste for it.

[And from her brief experiences with it, she's a lightweight and even one drink goes a long, long way. Part of being freaking tiny.]

Well, not right this second, they're not. But, if I know me, I'll have enemies here in no time. I'm always ass-deep in alligators.

[Video] Mission accomplished :>

[easy_a]

Then you haven't had the right drink.

[Everyone has particular alcoholic tastes; as far as Alisha's concerned, this one just needs to find hers.]

Just tell anyone that dicks around with you to piss off. Usually works if you just walk away.

[Video] :D

[animator]

I'll leave the drinking to you -- but I'll keep you company while you do it, if you like.

[Video] teehee

[easy_a]

Fine by me. Not like I know enough people to go out with anyway.

[Well, except Nathan and Rudy, but the latter is his own can of worms at the moment.]

[Video]

[animator]

Sounds like a plan. I might even be able to get a friend or two from the precinct to come along.

[Yeah, New Moore let her be a cop.]

[Video]

[easy_a]

Precinct?

[Now might be a bad time to mention that Alisha is technically considered an unlawful miscreant, with what... her probation, court-mandated curfew, and sentence to community service.]

[Video]

[animator]

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Yes. I work with the New Moore Police Department. You're looking at the resident monster expert.

[They even let her have a real badge here, unlike the cops at home, who just gave her a little plastic ID card.]

[Video]

[easy_a]

[Well... fuck. One of the first people Alisha's talked to and it's a cop. She... really doesn't have a good track record with cops.

Wait a second.]

Monsters? You mean like those things kids think are under the bed and in the closet?

[Video]

[animator]

Yep, in just about every possible variety. Vampires, werewolves, wererats, zombies and the people who pull their strings. There was a lamia involved once, too.
