[ elena is neither bright-eyed nor bushy-tailed this morning. on the contrary, she’s shaken, unspeakably confused, and even a bit angry. her brown eyes convey that much, though she’s taken some time to look around and calm down -- but only comparatively. ] Look, I’ve heard the message, and the charges against me or whatever. [ she looks off the side, incredulous -- and frankly in shock. ] So, this is an underwater- [ wow she can’t even get ‘prison’ out. saying it makes it real or her crazy, right? ]

You know, let’s just start with: Hey, I’m Elena, and is this some horrible dream?

action.
[ elena doesn't know where else to go. she woke up on the ground in the middle of a park, knowing she wasn't anywhere she should be even before her crimes were being listed off from some foreign device in her ear. she'd flinched and pulled it off, looking at the communicator in her hands, her heart starting to speed in her chest. she took a look around: at the benches, the trees, the shops, and the impossibly high dome ceiling.

now she's up, walking around the so far empty block in a daze. is this damon? she thinks -- or stefan? where is he? she'd can't yet grasp the reality of the situation, struggling to reconcile it with what she knows: vampires.

she stops at the storefront, and the smell of coffee, drawn like a beacon to some activity -- and where people would go, right? she walks inside, her eyes widening at the bots behind the counter. ]

ooc: catch elena oh-so-politely trying to talk to the bots at bean crushers or run into her on the street!

[She slides it off to match and fortunately she hears English so it's all good.] It did. It wants you to know that you've been very naughty and that your rehabilitation is their priority. Hard to say how much of that's true, but so far we haven't been able to get out, so it's a prison one way or another at least.

The only bars we usually have here are the kind with cocktails. It turns out the buildings have bars that can lower during lockdown, but that hasn't happened very often.

	[ she doubts her rehabilitation is anyone's priority. none of this seems real, or sensible, or logical, and from discerning kitty's tone, she gets the same impression. at least the sensible and logical parts. ] But it's happened. In the... 282 days you've been here. [ she repeats the number, the look in her eyes pleading for this not to be true. almost a year. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sure. If bars are coming down there's something big going on and it's theoretically for your safety. Coming here is kind of impossible even for people like me who have a lot of practice with the impossible in our lives before we're shipped in. And then once you're here trying to wrap your mind around that more weird and impossible drops on top of you. Yesterday, we had little flying robots carrying mistletoe that would catch two people in an invisible, shrinking force field that would only release if they kissed. And that's probably one of the better ones.

[She thinks this probably isn't the place to start, but where is? Does she tell her that her body is actually sitting in a pod?]

[ no, it's not the best place to start -- but in kitty's defense, how could anywhere truly be? elena's head in spinning, barely processing the information kitty is giving her. ] So it's less a prison and more some terrible joke? Because no offense but I'm kind of wondering if you're insane, or I'm insane, or someone is. [ she pauses, because despite wanting to believe that, she doesn't. and what it comes down to is this: ] There's no way out of here.

[Kitty smiles a little.] If you didn't think one of us insane then you'd probably be a little insane.

[And then a shake of her head.] None that we've found, but we're looking. I mentioned the Defense Force. It's a group of inmates working together to keep people safe while we're here and to get us out.

Another thing you should know that isn't going to make me sound any saner... You used to be on that team.

[ kitty's comfort she can take, even welcome, even through how shaken she feels it does little. she blinks and swallows at the smile, but even despite that small olive branch, she's stiff and still in her seat, her expression set in a visage of calm control. but she doesn't feel necessarily in control. it's on the tip of elena's tongue to ask more about this defense force, to know what they have found...

any semblance of pretending to know how to handle this is out the window when kitty utters the last. ] What?

Yeah, so, people sometimes disappear for awhile and when they come back sometimes they remember being here and sometimes they don't. Maybe it wasn't you at all, but another girl who looks just like you also named Elena. So, kind of you, but could have had a different life. [But so far she kind of doubts that's the case. Not to mention Kitty and her double have more obvious, surface differences.]

This isn't my first time talking to you.
