[This one's stumbling out of a previously unoccupied bedroom, looking groggy, but kind of shocked and very confused.]

What the--... How did I...? [She starts walking a little bit frantically down one hall, then stops, looking suspicious. Then she turns around and does the same for the other direction, glancing around with her eyebrows furrowed.]

Lexa? Demi?

--ROXIE!

[OHSHIT JUMPS. And turns. h'ohgod you scared me.]

Lexa..! What's going on?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

...You're not gonna believe it even if I told you.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, start explaining before I have to ask someone I really won't believe. Why the hell did I wake up in some random bed?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

This world's... what some people call a nexus. Basically, it takes people from other worlds and kind of... drops them here.

But the problem is that it drops people from all dimensions, too. Apparently in a lot of those, we're guys.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

... At least you didn't lose me until the last word.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

...Well, you'll just have to see that for yourself.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

So what you told me is that... There are other versions of... us? Here? Running around the halls? And most of 'em are jerkwad asshole guys?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Not all of them are jerkwad assholes, but yeah.

...Actually, stay away from the guys who look like me.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

... Any particular reason why?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Because I'm a jerkwad asshole.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'm used to your brand of it.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

I'm terribly flattered.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

Good.

[crosses her arms.] What are we supposed to do here, though? Where's Demi, and the rest of them?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

...I haven't seen anyone else.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

... We're here alone?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Someone else might be here.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

You just haven't found them yet?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Well, this place is bigger than any world we've visited.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

... Really? So, you could get lost here?

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Theoretically, but I'm here with you!

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

... That makes me feel so much better.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Don't you trust me, Roxie?

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

As far as I can throw you.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

...Hey, you throw pretty well!

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

[facepalm]

Alright then, as far as a Shadow can throw you.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

....ouch.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

You can handle it, girl.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Not when it hurts right here, Roxie. [ melodramatically hand-over-hearts ]

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

Your cholesterol's too high, then. Better watch your figure.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Oh, this figure will never leave me.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

As long as there's exercise here, at least.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? My body loves me, whether I work out or not.

[seasalt-skirts.livejournal.com]

At least someone does.

[honesthips.livejournal.com]

Cruel.
