That's a lot of grade-A space fuzz...

Oh look, ancient artificial meat products.

Right, admin, everyone's favorite part of the theme park. ( she's wandering off. she's about to do it. wandering off imminent in three... ) I'm just gonna...

I need to fix this guy's wardrobe before it kills me.

Ooh, let's go to Future-City, those are always the best. Actually, I went to this one once in this place called The Collective Mind Freedom and Entertainment Park. They 'theorized' that in the future we'd be all pure consciousness, so the future world was just a big white bright empty room.

You sure you don't want to get changed first?

I know they have a history of disappearing people who file lawsuits against them, but I'm pretty sure they went under decades ag— ( checking her watch ) Yeah, decades ago. Let me guess, they never paid you for a birthday party appearance?

Phew, panic over. Anything for the kids. ( keeping slightly closer. ) So other than droppings and abandoned merchandise, is there anything here worth salvaging?

UCK! I'd be better off burning them. Wait, did you say *bats*? How large?

What did I just step in?

Whoops. My bad.

'Cause you'd look really good in... something else. Maybe.

At least there's food in this shitty dimension.

Oh yeah. Worth it for the view, huh? Let's crack 'em open. Did you just not bring a change of clothes?

Are you drinking on duty, constable? Or are you ( gruff voice ) *always* on duty.

Then I have no choice but to obey the police and the follow the law. ( she salutes him and his beer. ) Looks like we'll be drinking to the kindness of strangers.

( she squints over her shoulder, then back to him, nodding, smiling brightly at him, and his beer. ) Noted. Police, huh? That's kinda cute. Is that why you're wearing that? What is that?

I'm a danger to his %&?@#

Police? Out here? Are you serious? Or is that your second six-pack? I don't see any danger. Do you?

I said hello man with beers, no company, and a picturesque sunset on the horizon, I'm Kiki, I have no beers. Wanna help me fix that?

Target SO acquired.

Found you.

Aren't real.

Aheh. Let's start over.

I'm just gonna start blasting.

Can I fucking help you? Get out of my face.

She's starting to think there's no damn cat on this planetoid at all.

Hope someone fries that egg.

tl;dr skip to action sequence

( her expression sours further, from merely very annoyed to very very annoyed, and a twitch in her eye tells him he's right - or close enough. ) Well done. All my systems got fried. Kinda freaky. We had shields up, full power one minute, next thing you know... Bzzt. Empty.

I think the egg is probably imaginary.

( shrugs. ) Just some dickfuck in a stupid helmet with a stupid ugly drawing looking for a dumb egg.

She shouldn't shoot this idiot, right? Right?

It's not her blood. Most of it is not her blood.

Oh I bet you *love* talking. Look, fine, guns away, you're not who I'm looking for. This place has me *jumpy* that's all. ( she holsters the weapon, but keeps her hand close. ) You were about to tell me how you got here.

Did this &@$%ing storm follow her all the way here? Can't take off with all the electrical interference so she's just. Stuck here. Waiting.

Hey, I will. Enjoy your little getaway!

Kinda doubt it.

Anything worth taking?

Day 1. Journal entry #3: The weather here is also shitty.

Lotta stupid lookin' people here.

( her eyes narrow. there was enough evidence before her to suggest he wasn't lying. at least not entirely. instead she steps back and circles him, the gun kept on him, trained but loose, almost casual. she kept her finger off the trigger. safety first. ) This place is barren. You're dressed for...

( her disappointment? palpable. but what had she expected? ) You must have something, I picked up an energy signature. Don't play games with me.

Says the one man circus. Pockets. Now.

Not worth the hassle, trust me. We have bigger fish to cook.
