[Now this machine is completely different from either of the communicators that she had been given before. More complex in design, but thankfully simpler, at least in her opinion. Much few buttons to navigate. The person coming onto the video is pale, long dark hair—sorely in need of a good washing—falling about her face, left eye covered by an eyepatch looks a bit worse for wear, if usable. She’s smiling, unsure, but hoping she comes across as genial.]

Ah…hello? I don’t know how many people there are here already, but um…it’s nice to meet you all. My name is Miranda and…I’m not quite sure how these crimes are possible. I haven’t quite had the time to be a criminal and some of these ah…incidents were not intentional in the least. But as I doubt there is much I can do to change the mind of the wardens…do they um…allow us to do things...on our own?

[It’s been so long since she had a good bath and even longer since she had any kind of privacy, but if this place is anything like where she’s been before, she doesn’t expect that. She's trying to sound calm and easy, but her voice wavers just a bit.] If so, I-I would be very grateful if someone would direct me to the nearest washroom...an-and the stairs if you don't mind. I can't seem to find any and the door won't open.

[Someone maybe woke up floating on the island.]

[She wants to learn her new surroundings, so completely different from where she's been recently that it's a bit overwhelming at first. She stands and looks and doesn't know which way to go in. But once she's moving it's like she has to see everything. She is moving all over the dome, stopping at the various places that she has access to. There's a beach, a library, a museum, and even a store full of animals! And she will be definitely taking advantage of the hot springs. The spa seems a little too...fancy for her, but hot water and a good soak help her feel a lot better about the situation.

It's when she sees the graveyard that she takes a pause, standing at the end of the area, but not entering. Considering how vast this place is, she's not surprised as she should be--not anymore--to see one, but it makes this place all the more...real. This isn't a dream. It's not another experiment by Val or the scientists. If it was, there would be so many more gravestones, she would think.]

Oh, Miranda, it's so good to see you! [It's not that she didn't register the lack of memories. It's just enthusiasm getting in her way.]

Ah... This is going to sound very strange, but I think it might be stranger if I didn't mention it. You were here once before.

And what a difficult place for them to put you...

[She doesn't know this woman, but she's being so friendly! Miranda smiles just a bit, even if she's confused. Oh so very confused.]

I was? [That is a surprise.] Are you sure it was me? [For a moment she brings up a hand to her eyepatch.] With this?

[If the Miranda she met had an eyepatch, then of course it would have been her, and not...the original Miranda.]

Well... That part is new. [She tries not to sound uncomfortable about it. She doesn't want Miranda to feel uncomfortable! It was cause for concern though.] Perhaps it was from before that happened though.

[Miranda has thankfully become used to stares about it. Lenalee hadn't taken well to the sight when she first saw it either.]

That is certainly possible. I-It hasn't been that long since I got...um this.

[She could just go along with this woman's explanation, but Miranda would feel guilty for the deception in the end, she knows. How should she handle this? Should she tell her the truth right away? What if these people were upset that she wasn't the original Miranda?]

Did um...Did she--I mean, me, did I happen to mention a person named Val?

Val? [Euphie looks thoughtful, but it's not triggering any memories.] No, not that I recall. Was she an exorcist too?

[ The hot springs are really nice, aren't they... Wendy likes them, and drops by once in a while. Actually, she drops by as often as possible because it's nice to just soak for a while. ]

Ah, hello.

[ There are always at least some people there when she arrives but she saw the video earlier and knows that this woman in new. ]

[Miranda is currently soaking in the hot steamy water. She'd scrubbed in the shower first, trying to get all the dust, dirt, and grime out of her hair as much as possible before relaxing. It makes her skin look even more pink, despite not having been in the shower that long but the scars on her hands and the rough tendrils of the one spreading out from her left breast area up toward her neck look darker.

But someone else entering startles her just a bit, making her pull the towel around her tighter. It's hard to cover everything, but she did find the biggest towel she could possible wrap herself in and still walk.]


Oh! Ah, h-hello! I'm sorry did you have an appointment? I didn't mean to take over anyone's time.

Oh... [She's blushing a bit beneath the pink of the hot springs heat. Miranda should have realized that before even saying anything. It makes sense that it wouldn't matter, if they're all prisoners here.]

Yes, I'm Miranda. Did you--um--see my announcement earlier today or did...um, did we know each other before? [She was very certain that the "her" Euphie had spoken of was truly the original, but she didn't know who may or may not have known her.]

[Mal felt unusually woozy today, but it didn't stop him from checking on Serenity. She was still in the stables, so he worked through his own problems in order to saddle her up. He keeps her walking though. No sense in vomiting. They make their way to the beach where he sees a young woman with an eyepatch. She doesn't look familiar. He considers just passing her by, but Serenity seems convinced they should go talk to her. He pats the horse on the neck.]

Okay girl. We'll go say hi.

[Raising his voice just enough to make it obvious he's talking to the other woman.]

New arrival?

Y-Yes? I mean, in that I just arrived today, so I doubt you can be much newer than that. [Whoops, she's rambling. Change topics.] Hello, I'm Miranda.

Mal. I'd say good to meet you, but yer in prison for the rest of your life, so I'll let you decide how you want to feel on the whole meeting other criminals thing. [He swings a leg over the saddle and hops down to the ground.]

This here's Serenity. [He pulls an apple out of his coat pocket to feed the horse.]

This doesn't seem like any prison I've ever heard of before. [More like a small, very empty, very clean town.] An-And I don't think I can fully trust the word of a computer on just how criminal a person is or isn't.

[She knows very well how a computer can be misguided in fulfilling its mission. But her attention shifts to the horse and she bows her head with a little smile.] Besides, she certainly um...thinks you're kind enough. Animals know better than anyone.

[While Bonnie misses the pleasure prison, she also figures that life goes on and the world keeps spinning. So she's at the library today, grabbing whatever seems interesting.

She may not know everyone in Marina (and she definitely doesn't), but it's hard to not notice someone exploring.]


Hey, [said softly, just in case librarian-bots want to shush her,] Looking for something specific?

[Miranda is going around the library a bit like a child in a sweets shop. She can't help it, as the lack of books in Haven, and then the loss of the few they did have left had made her realize just how much she'd taken them for granted before then.

She hears someone and stops, turning to look for the voice and spots a young woman not far away. She replies back just as quietly, assuming it was expected.]


Oh, um, yes I am, but to be honest I'm not sure what? There's so many books. I keep changing my mind. Is there a popular section?

Honestly? "Popular" depends on what you like. We're lucky enough that they have anything and everything, but... the selection changes a lot. So there's not a lot of sense in me recommending anything specific.

[Damon isn't the type of vampire to hang around graveyards; he considers it ridiculously melodramatic. Maybe he'll do it on Halloween sometimes, to scare the crap out of some stupid teenagers before he eats them, but that's about it.

So he's not at the graveyard because he particularly wants to be; he's at the graveyard because he's puzzled. What on earth is a graveyard doing in a prison like this?

He catches sight of a young woman hovering nearby, and while he isn't feeling friendly — when does he ever feel friendly? — he's still starved enough for companionship that he will talk to strangers. Shocker.]

It's fine. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just--getting used to this. [She motions around with her hand to signify the entirety of the area beyond the graveyard. Her cheeks are still a bit red from the embarrassment of reacting as she did.]

Ah...Well. I wasn't looking for a particular person, but...well, I was just...confirming what my eyes have been seeing, is all.

Thank you. [Miranda smiles back because there's no reason to be rude when people have been so cordial to her.]

What I've seen so far is very...well, beautiful. Nothing like what I'd thought a prison could be like. But it's very um...inconvenient to find yourself this high up.
