[ 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?

What'd you get from Hope?

[ Oh, she's seriously really cute. He's leaning forward, smiling warmly. ] No, I just got here. You?

Oh - [ Ah, shoot, shouldn't have mentioned it. The hair clip might seem a little childish to him. But - ] He gave me some cookies, like I said. I think they're safe to eat. That's what the other people said, anyway.

[ She holds up the bag to show him, shrugging. ]

Did you do any of the cleanup? Or... the monster hunting?

[ It's cool, everyone's got their thing, right? And it's not like Johnny isn't a child at heart sometimes. ]

Let me know if they do anything bad to you, I'll kick their asses.

[ He perks up at the question -- ] Yeah, took down a White Walker; freakishly creepy ice zombies that are surprisingly really flammable. And a few other monsters, too. Just another day at work, right?

[ There may be a touch of pink to her cheeks after that. No guy has really said anything like that for her, after all.

Except for her brother. Doesn't count. ]

Okay! [ Comes the breathless sort of reply. ] Thanks, I, um... really appreciate it.

[ omg hannah play it cool ]

Ice zombie? Ew. [ She wrinkles her nose. ] That's smart, though. But it's one thing to know that they'd probably melt down and another thing to fight them, you know? That's... totally brave.
