[She's let the vine approach her, not such a common occurrence these days, but it is what it is. She's sitting on a bed with her back to the room as the vine approaches, staring up at something on the wall.

Anyone who has seen her before might notice that she looks a healthier than she has in a long time, a little color in her skin, alertness in her eyes rather than pain and fatigue.]

I guess it isn't very surprising that I would have to uproot my first attempt at gardening to stop it from fucking everything up.

[It really isn't surprising, she could almost laugh at how disgustingly predictable.

She's silent for a moment longer, still staring up at that dreamcatcher.]

...this thing really works.

So you're just living here now?

[thesamename.livejournal.com]

I'm alive. And I'm here. After almost nine months, yes, I have a place where I live.

You've been here nine months? [If she has a lot of questions it's because no one told her anything when she arrived, so she's been wandering utterly lost for a bit.]

I've only been here a month. Well, less.

There are a few, who have been here longer than I have, but most have disappeared. My name is Jackie.

I'm Iceland. ...Do you think they go home, or somewhere else?

[thesamename.livejournal.com]

Some of them go home, and sometimes they come back here to tell us about it. I don't know about all of them, though.

[fjallkonan.livejournal.com]

Weird. Why send them home and bring them back?

[thesamename.livejournal.com]

Just to fuck with us. That's really all her Highness does.
