[Her hands hold out the beer toward her, before leaning slightly forward, elbows resting on her knees.]
It- wasn't pleasant.
[Thinking that everyone had left, that it was only those people she had found... There had been no sight nor sound of anyone else. They had just vanished.]
[That does earn an amused snort. The number of years between them is quite large as well, but, it's not like certain technologies haven't been thought about in Alice's time.]
Guess it is a bit more obvious when the other person doesn't even know about electricity, phones, or other planets. There might be some cultural references that go over my head, but I get the gist of most things.
[and there's a big difference between accepting that space travel between worlds is real and accepting that cellphones are real for someone from 800 years or so in the past]
Yeah, exactly. I mean, history was never my best subject to start of with, but bridging that gap? Not easy. Oh, well. At least I didn't want to punch him?
[Taking a swig of her beer again, Carolina smiles slightly at that mental image. Not exactly the type of guy that gets her interest, but the world does need more good guys.]
Were all of you actually on the same island then? I saw a fire, and had to work out how to get over.
Me, neither. Which sucks 'cause I love swimming. And sunbathing. Can't do much of either one here. I guess we could always go to the hot springs?

So am I. That whole mess was [she shakes her head] well, it sucked. I'm glad it's over and you're okay.
action

[Thinking that everyone had left, that it was only those people she had found... There had been no sight nor sound of anyone else. They had just vanished.]
action
No it was not. What was the point of the whole thing, anyway?
[her people seemed nice enough, but not enough that she's going to keep tabs on them now]
action
[This place does seem to like to do that. Twist and turn, make them happy, sad, angry...]
action
[it does. she really doesn't like the fake gods for that. she's always hated feeling out of control]
action
I hope the knight guy didn't just spend all day talking about knightly things...
action
Nah, he seemed nice enough. Just, it's hard to relate to someone who's like from so long ago.

[Her voice, surprisingly, dipping down to a soft tease.]
action
Probably. That's what I need people like you for.
action
[Not that she's in a pissing contest.
Although she might have a competitive streak to her...]
action
I'm sure it would. After all, yours is high-tech space age armor. His was a step above RenFaire armor.

action
Yeah, so that was lucky. I didn't have to wrangle a rowboat by myself. That would suck, having to cross over.
action
[Relatively speaking anyway. It had given her a work out, and she's kept up her training here.]
Although I still worked up a bit of a sweat.
action
[she jogs. and hates it. every second of it]
Sounds like a good workout at least.
action
[Or so Carolina hopes... Otherwise, foot in mouth!]
action
[that would require effort]
action
[Pausing as she tried to keep the smile off her lips.]
It wouldn't have helped you any.
action
[she takes a swig of the beer]
action
[Although she did pick up a new hobby, maybe? Fishing had been... fun.]
