[There's a new face on the Vine today. Thankfully, it's a lovely one.]

[Holiday is poking these... vine things, trying to figure out how they work and... what they're doing... It's very curious stuff right here... She's also still dressed in the gown she awoke in and the cat behind her is looking like it might be getting a little annoyed...]

Um... I think... this is on... Hello? Can anyone-?

[She spends a second, looking around at the Vine and wondering if she's being fooled.]

Breach, if this is some weird dimension, I'd like to go home now. The cats and flowers and everything really is nice, but... Well, I should really be home. Rex is going to be worrying, you know.

[... Excuse her while she thinks she's been kidnapped and sent into a pocket dimension...]

Good luck. You're not the only one to try!

You don't have to be in any! Heck, before I ever got here I decided I didn't need to date anyone! 'Course, that kinda changed later, but not because of the queen! I chose it!

[doc_holi]

That's good. [She sighs in relief. Getting into a relationship with anyone right now is a big NO NO in her book.]

She doesn't try to influence us into anything, does she?

[fionna_time]

Yup!

Uh..define influence.

[doc_holi]

[... She has a feeling this place is going to be a big barrel of fun.]

Does she... try to put girls together? Romantically? Like... to the point of noticeably intervening?

[fionna_time]

Oh no, she doesn't do that!

She'll make weird stuff happen to make people all awkward sometimes, but she never actually forces people to be in a relationship. That's just messed up.

[doc_holi]

Messed up is exactly what I was thinking. Happy that's not the case... I'm just... being wary here.

... Awkward... I can deal with awkward, I think.

Anyway, I'm Dr. Rebecca Holiday. Lots of people just called me Holiday, but I guess you can call me whatever you want. I don't know if any of that will matter here...

[fionna_time]

Anyone would be. This isn't really normal, right?

Is Becca ok? I mean, I could just call you doctor, but it seems so official.

[doc_holi]

... [She smiles.] Becca's just fine. What's your name?

[fionna_time]

[She really WAS pretty, in a grown up, almost kinda like a princess way, especially when she smiled. Fionna couldn't help grinning].

I'm Fionna! Nice to meet you!

[doc_holi]

Nice to meet you, too. Though, I kind of wish we had met somewhere we weren't trapped in.

[fionna_time]

Same here, you seem pretty nice!

So what's your world like?

[doc_holi]

Thank you. You're pretty nice, too.

My world? Ah, it's... a complicated world, I guess. But it's not a bad place. Lots of working and stuff.

[She doesn't want to freak people out... Also, hey. That's another good reason to leave pretty quick since no one here seems to know what EVOs are.]

What about your world?

[fionna_time]

Thanks!

My world is pretty complicated too! It's got all this magic and monsters and demons and vampires and stuff. There was a war too, but that's over now.

[doc_holi]

Oh. We don't have all the magic and stuff.

The monsters and war, though? We have that in common. Our war is still going on, though, for the most part.

[fionna_time]

Oh man. Sorry to hear that.

How are you guys doing?

[doc_holi]

A lot better now. Things have eased up and things seem to be at relative peace now. We just know it won't last forever, but things aren't bad.

[fionna_time]

Oh! Well at least there's that!

So they won't need you, right?

[doc_holi]

Well... No. I guess not... At least, not in any medical or factual sense.

I could imagine that they may be missing me right now, though...

[fionna_time]

Unless you get returned to the time you left, right?

[doc_holi]

That... would be convenient, I suppose...

[fionna_time]

I was told that's how it happens by some people who left and came back.

[doc_holi]

So... they don't know that I'm gone?

[How does that even work?... This whole place is terrifying.]

[fionna_time]

I think when you return, its supposed to be like you were never gone, that the place in time you left isn't going on without you.

Or something.

[doc_holi]

I see... That's... strange.

So... I can get back home. But there's a catch, I'm presuming...

[fionna_time]

Yeah.

You don't get to decide when it happens.
