[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...]

... You don't know what EVOs are?

... I'm not... anywhere near home... Am I?

[imperial_ray]

This place is no one's home... Even the Queen herself seems almost alien to this place.

[doc_holi]

Oh... So, she didn't create this place.

[Good. She's not as almighty as she seems to be, then.]

[imperial_ray]

Well, I do not doubt she has a greater power over the shape of this world as we do, given she brings others here. But the region itself seems more... organic than that. Well beyond her scope.

[doc_holi]

I see. How long have you been here, Miss...?

[imperial_ray]

For some time... not as long as some, though.

[doc_holi]

Someone else told me that she was here for almost two years... That is a while.

[imperial_ray]

But it's not all bad... even if strange things happen, this place is still far more peaceful than where I came from.

[doc_holi]

Is it?

... Well. I guess it could be seen that way. [She just can't help but think it's a dolled up prison.]

[imperial_ray]

I do. I'm very happy here. Ky is here... and no one is afraid of me.

[doc_holi]

Well... So long as you're happy. That's the important thing.

[Even if it's here, she won't judge.]

[imperial_ray]

Mm... Oh! I forgot to mention my name! How silly of me.

[doc_holi]

... [And... you still haven't.]

I'm Rebecca Holiday.

[imperial_ray]

-She's a bit odd like that.-

I'm Dizzy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Frau Holiday.

[doc_holi]

A pleasure, Dizzy.

[Umm.] Frau?

[imperial_ray]

Frau! Es ist Deutsch!

[doc_holi]

Oh! [She laughs.]

Sorry. German is one of the languages I barely know. [She can read it, but hearing it? PFFF]

[imperial_ray]

And I am told Swiss German is particularly difficult to parse. My apologies. Luckily, I am quite good at other languages!

[doc_holi]

How many do you know?

[Holiday's just fluent in a couple of them. She can read a lot of others, but speaking is a bit beyond that.]

[imperial_ray]

Um, let's see...

Somewhere in the range of a dozen, I think. And I learn new ones with some regularity. Apparently my kind are natural cyphers, so...

[doc_holi]

Wow. That's incredible. I only know one person from my home that knows that many different languages.

[imperial_ray]

You really think so? Most humans I meet are intimidated by that.

[doc_holi]

Intimidated? Why?

I find it very interesting and fulfilling. It's certainly a skill to be proud of.

[She's a woman of science, after all. She can appreciate knowledge.]

[imperial_ray]

Ah, well... it is only one thing among many. But you're like the other humans here... you're not afraid of me. That's unusual.

[doc_holi]

[She feels some pitty for the girl, but... she wonders what reasons the others have to be scared of her... Ah. Can't be worse than a rabid EVO or Black Knight or someone.]

I don't see why. You seem like a kind person to me.
