[There's an image of a brunette with dark eyes fussing with the shift that she'd woken up in. She hasn't quite taken the time to change yet, and the surroundings don't exactly comfort her, in spite of the scroll she'd been given. She's definitely looking annoyed though.]

I have no idea what happened or how I ended up here, but I'm really going to assume it's something those idiot simulation soldiers did. Either that or, in spite of all my arguing otherwise, I have completely snapped.

And on the off chance this is real, Queen, you really picked the wrong kind of person for your peaceful garden. I'm a Freelancer. A fighter. Not some kind of builder. What use could you have for me?

I swear, this is the Caboose level of ridiculousness... Communicating through plantlife?

You're not the only one she's kidnapped, I'm afraid, and she doesn't seem to care much who she kidnaps as long as they're female.

[feedutothemeta]

[Sighs]

Wonderful. Well, at least if she's only taking females, I don't have to worry about the idiot simulation soldiers here. I guess there's some good with the bad.

[rueandwolf.livejournal.com]

Simulation soldiers? I'm sorry if that's common where you're from, but everyone appears to be from different worlds and times here, so...

[feedutothemeta]

Oh really? Interesting. At least I wasn't taken somewhere boring.

At least I haven't had to fake my death for safety here. Or be stuck for the rest of my life hiding with the worst soldiers in history. They were all men.

Name's Washington. Mind giving me yours?

[rueandwolf.livejournal.com]

Female versions of them could show up--at least, it's happened to others from my world who are supposed to be male...

I'm Lithuania. It's nice to meet you, Miss Washington.

What's your specialty, Freelancer?

[feedutothemeta]

Combat with a variety of weapons, human and Covenant, as well as using advanced armor.

[noneedforheroic.livejournal.com]

Your gear all come with you?

[feedutothemeta]

[smirks, holding up a piece of armor] Seems like it. Need to check it over to make sure it's in working order.

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of fighters here, yours truly included. The Queen is what you might call an idiot.

[feedutothemeta]

Good to know. Seeing as it looks like we're supposed to be relatively peaceful here... Is sparring and practice acceptable, if I can find someone that can handle me?

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

No problem.

Yeah, people spar around here. It's mainly killing and maiming that get you some kind of supposedly meaningful punishment. [Eyeroll.]

[feedutothemeta]

Good. I'd rather not have the idleness make me go soft.

How bad is the punishment?

[Kallen throws up a salute as she comes on the screen. Might as well be respectful to a fellow soldier.]

Kallen Kouzuki speaking. The Queen doesn't really care who you are, or what you want. She brought us all here for, as far as I can tell, entertainment. And don't expect to be going home any time soon.

[feedutothemeta]

Washington, formerly of Project Freelancer.

I got that idea from the other responses already. Though to be honest? This actually seems better than home in a lot of ways right now.

[nuclearqueen.livejournal.com]

It has its advantages to a warzone, for sure. Nice to be able to relax. But for the people left behind...[She scowls, then shakes her head.]

Welcome, Washington. Is there anything I can help you with?

[feedutothemeta]

I didn't leave much behind, as it is.

Not really. Guess I just need to start settling in.

[headedforhope]

I can't attest to your sanity, miss, but the Queen's plans seem to include even the most unlikely of candidates. You're not the only fighter here, for instance.

[feedutothemeta]

I'm sane. It's just the world that's crazy here.

[headedforhope]

That's also true!....probably. I never said the Queen, let alone her plans, were very sane in and of themselves.

[feedutothemeta]

Good point.

Though it doesn't thrill me, being trapped here like this.

[It's a few days before she thinks to check the vine again, but when she does she's a little startled to hear there was antoher Freelancer. She stares at the image for a while, listening, it wasn't anyone she was familiar with, but hat sure sounded like somehing Washington would say, and given what she'd heard about this place already ...]

[Only one way to find out. She requests a mike from the vine, and growls lowly into it, Surprised to find you here . If her suspicions were correct, this supposed Freelancer wouldn't need subtitles.]

[feedutothemeta]

You...

Meta. What are you doing here? They said this place only gets females.

[Switching to video, Meta's in armor, as ever, tilting her EVA helmet at the mirror with a low rumble, Bitch, please. I could say the same about you.]

I am a woman, Meta. I've been one all my life.
