[ It's Hannah's network debut! The teen looks cheerful enough, for a person trapped in a monster-infested cave nightmare, standing in front of one of her city-decoration projects. ]

Does it work? I know everyone hates when people hit "reply to all" on e-mail, but I haven't really used this thing yet, and I thought I should introduce myself to everyone. We're all stuck here, so... better to have names to go with the faces, right?

[ Hannah, no, this isn't an online college course. ]

My name's Hannah - Hannah Washington. My brother Josh is here, too, and... I'm from the same place as Chris, Ashley, and Emily, if you've met them.

[ She isn't exactly sure how long her friends have been in Hadriel, but it's been longer than her own one-month period for sure. ]

Um - So, I got some cookies for painting, I guess. From Hope, maybe? Are they safe to eat? I know that the "gods" aren't all the same in how bad they are, but if there's any chance of them being risky, maybe it'd be better to throw them away.

[ Hannah pauses, tucking some hair behind her ear. Behind her, occasionally visible, are paintings of butterflies on the walls. ]

Any tips for a cave-city newbie?

Hey, I'll try 'em if you're not sure. I'll fall on that sword for you.

[Cookies. Awesome.]

[ pls ]

As if! I'm taking these as my reward for being a good citizen of crazy town and I am gonna eat them all by myself.

[ ... ]

I guess you can have one, though. There're a lot.

You are a kind and benevolent queen.

[He'll probably steal at least one more.]

I heard a lot of people got stuff.

Flattery will get you nowhere. [ She replies haughtily. ]

Yeah? A lot of people must've been prettying this place up, then. Or, um... fighting the monsters. I guess.

[ There are some actual soldiers here, though, so that makes sense. She wasn't about to get killed going up against those things. ]

What about you? Get anything good?

Nope, I did jack and shit.

[He sure liked looking at the paintings and stuff, though.]

I'm not much of a monster killer, and cleaning isn't really my thing either. But hey, I was cheering you guys on. That should could for something.

[Right?]

[ She laughs, shaking her head. ]

Good job. [ Such a productive member of society, Josh. ] I'm glad you didn't get hurt, though. Fighting those things is just... crazy.

[ Because, oh my god. They're monsters. ]

Thanks for the support, I guess?

I'll leave it to the people who have big guns and superpowers.

[Not that Josh would turn down big guns and superpowers, but since he lacks both, he's gonna keep his distance from any monsters that might want to eat his face.]

I'll take some pictures of your art. Keep 'em forever.

That is so cool. [ Hannah says, awed. ] I can't believe people like that are just... here. And real.

[ She's not so interested in the guns, but... superpowers? That'd be awesome! ]

Ugh, don't do that. [ If he were nearby, she'd shove him. ] Dork.

It's pretty badass, I've gotta admit.

[He didn't think they were real - or this place, even - for awhile. Now he does, and, well. It is kind of awesome.]

Hey, if I had a printer, I'd print 'em out and hang 'em on the fridge. With a gold star.

Did they all have superpowers when they got here, though? Or can we, like... develop them?

[ Is she being too optimistic about that one? Probably. It's Hannah. ]

Cut it out! [ She laughs. ] You're embarrassing me!

[ The way she says it, though, indicates that she's only teasing. ]

Uh... hm. I think they had them when they got here, but some people have powers they got here, too. Ask Chris, he knows some stuff about that.

[Josh only vaguely knows stuff about god blessings, unfortunately.]

Aw, come on. Embarrassing you is my job! I can't slack off now.
