[BROADCAST »

Have you ever seen a lady wearing ungodly amounts of purple? No? Well, you are now and that outfit can only be said to be designed by emo teenagers-- but at least she got rid of the most offensive items a long time ago. Though she doesn't seem to really care about that, but she does look pretty well annoyed. And for good reason.]

Very funny.

[It's not said directly to the communicator because, if there's one thing you learn after a while in her life: When people suddenly kidnap you somewhere they're usually not far away to laugh at you as you panic. This went for what she remembered of her old life and just about everything that happened in the Black Woods. It's really difficult to panic under those circumstances. You just get angry instead.]

I swear if you touched those kids I will find you. Don't think I won't.

[Because she'd been looking for them what little time she was on the Marivsa because usually in situations like this... Well, she was trying not to think about it but being shuffled no more than 24 hours later does not do for one's ire. But that's all she says for the moment.]

[MINGLE FOR STARSTRUCK »

How's it going for you guys? There's the new lady around now, at least, but maybe that's not very helpful. Since she's kind of not all there-- but for different reasons than probably expected. You're not trying to take your augments out again, are you?

It seems you might have some to catch up on for now. Or maybe you just want to stop the new lady from looking through the food supplies. Because that's a thing, too.]

If it helps, we don't have any reason to believe they interfere in our worlds except to bring people here.

[ Strangely, she knows that voice better than the other two voices. Or at least, it's more recently familiar and she glances back at the communicator with a start and... Looks at him, because she can't really deny it even if he's not in that shade of purple. ]

Eclipse? [ A beat. ] How do you get that?

Huh?

...Let me guess, you don't know the name Eclipse?

Not even a little. My name's Tim. Tim Drake.

Well, it's not important anyway. [ Except it is, but she's stubborn. ] How can you be sure they're not messing around with places outside of this mess?

I didn't say I was sure. I said we didn't have any reason to believe otherwise.

Then you don't know. Which doesn't make it anymore reassuring.

It's an inference. They drag us from different parts of our own timelines, but none of us have any memory of our friends disappearing here. If they have access to near-infinite parallel universes, then they don't have any need to interfere with our homeworlds - if not, they're seamless at inserting and removing people without a trace, and go to a lot of trouble not to draw attention or leave any trace.

It could be the have the power to rewrite things like that, you know. It's not impossible. If they have the power to kidnap people and make it seem like nothing changed, then there's really no saying what they could do in our worlds before making people believe nothing changed at all.

Didn't say it was impossible. Just unlikely. And if they are doing that, then it's pointless to ask about, since no-one would know.

Maybe that's exactly why someone should be asking.

Even when we've established that nobody would know the answer, because the process is seamless?

They're bound to slip up sometime.

Which we're all watching for already.
