...back home, dear! I'm sure you have some friends or family that miss you, you can't be gone for all that long - they'd be worried sick you know.
*The little girl nods as her mother comes back, flicking the light off on the desk and moving for the doors.*
Jemma: If you teleported, surely it...
Jemma: How long have I lived here?
*She takes a moment to think about that, having to count on one hand and mutter things to herself as she walks around the building, drawing the blinds and clicking off lights.*
Jemma: Well, not for awfully long. I moved here with my husband after discovering...
*The girl hugs you back a little tighter, visibly relaxing under your embrace.**Jemma has already walked off, starting to turn off lights and close the blinds, locking up the library to be extra safe.**Meanwhile, Sheila moves back, pointing at you, then at the ground, and shrugging. Probably...
*The girl stares at you, shuffling a little and drawing in a gentle breath.**After several more moments of silence, Sheila nods and gives you a little hug - a sign of trust.*
Jemma: Oh- I suppose that's a yes then. Let me lock up and I can take us all home - how does that sound?

Cedric: Didje fall asleep in th' leaves an' just wake up, maybey? Weird fings happen in those trees, don' like goin' fru it meself... Ye sure...
*The man jumps a bit, but looks up at the knock.**A pipe shifts in his mouth in almost a semi-disgruntled way as he puts down the paper and takes his boot-clad feet off the counter, standing and walking to the door with heavy thudding footsteps.**The man opens the door, clearly a captain...
???: Oh dear...
*The genuine concern in her voice is overwhelming. She adjusts her glasses, trying to think of a way to help you.*
???: I'm afraid I wouldn't know how you got here either, other than walking to the library, but no matter - we'll help you on your way, sir. Have you just moved...
...like a fancy restaurant, bunches of apartments and hotel rooms, a spa is in the works, an' theres a real nice robot that lives way up at the top!
*He listens to you talk, clearly invested in conversation about other places.*
Barry: Mmmmm, a coast kid are ye! Near the ocean any, Jack?

*The girl shuffles her feet together even more before skittering over to her mother, clinging to her trenchcoat with her big brown eyes still turned up to look at you.*
Jemma: Oh, it isn't you, Miss W- she's this way with... everyone. She wasn't always, but one day she came home and just...
Oh hi! :D Glad to see people online again after The Incident! Though hopefully nobody was injured in the fire... Also glad to see you were able to check out another one of my threads before then, since maybe it'll help my explanation 👀 Sorry for the late response too, I just got up and started...
