Oh, this is wonderful!

You mortal types – and not-so-mortal types – and your pocket dimensions, I mean. Your little rolled-up universes tucked away into the corner of who-knows-where. Y'know, they obliterate any sort of logic that ought proceed them, mess around with the very foundations of time, and completely shatter any hope we had of keeping continuity, well, continuous! In the end, though, none of this really matters. It's like a drop in the ocean, compared to everything that's come before it. Still, we all have a tendency to believe that the world, that all worlds, revolve around us. Like the Universe or the Creator or whatever you believe in purposely did this to mess with you, and you alone, and everyone else has fallen by the wayside. Not that this isn't important. Not to you, anyway.

But what am I saying? Listen, it's like this: take a moment to step back from it all. Stop with the whys, wheres and hows, and all those other question words, and breathe it all in. Some days, I feel as if nobody appreciates life anymore. Not even the little things, like being able to enjoy the chemical aftertaste that follows food, and, oh, I already mentioned something about breathing, didn't I? So take a look around, take a moment to relax! I promise you, nothing's going to fall apart while you all kick back.

Anyway, it's great to be here. I hope we can be friends!

[smile!] It's just that you've really put things into perspective.

Have we... met, by the way?

I don't shop much. But maybe that is it.

Did you go to Ivy U? [Though it feels like they met more recently than that. But Dahlia doesn't want to ask, "Were we on death row together?"]

Then perhaps that was when we met. [She's more right than she suspects, as that's where Doug Swallow died.]

My name is [a pause, and then a lie] Iris.
