Cassie had spent her first full day on Mirage hiding in her room... her room that looked surprisingly like her room back home, except with the addition of things she'd always wished she had but never got round to doing. The walls colours seemed to change according to her mood; just staring at her own ceiling was a bit trippy. She'd slept for a long time on and off, curled up under her duvet as she tried to come to terms with what was going on.

Now, on her third day on the planet, Cassie felt human enough to leave her room. The planet wasn't planning on making it easy for her, however, because not only had the setting of the resort changed completely since she'd arrived, the planet had decided to brew up a storm. Dressed in a black pinafore with a multi-coloured shirt underneath and knee-high silver socks, Cassie dashed to the one place she knew she would feel safe and secure. The game room. The moment she walked through the door she felt that familiar buzz of excitement. An amusement arcade was the one place Cassie felt she could escape reality for a while. Nothing in an amusement arcade mattered.

She located a golem who gave her a cup of tokens, and with an eager smile she moved to a slot machine. Pressing her lips together in anticipation she popped the first token into the slot and gripped the lever firmly. She paused for a moment, closing her eyes as if to make a wish and then pulled down on the lever. The pictures whirred, and the machine gave a clatter as more tokens came pouring out. Cassie's face light up as she reached down to scoop up the tokens. "Yeah! I win, motherfucker!" she screeched to no one in particular as she straightened up again

"Oh, wow, yeah. It's pretty shitty," she agreed, as if she'd only just remembered that she was on another planet. "I was sort of meant to be moving house anyway, so I don't suppose it's much different. You know, except I can't exactly call anyone. So yeah, maybe shitty was right..." she mused, moving to lean against the machine she had been using as she glanced over at Gwen as she tried out the machine. A wide grin spread across her face as the lights started going off again. "Ooh, you win!" she gushed. "Yeah, it likes beginners, I think," she agreed.

"Oh, a couple of days, but I haven't really been out my room until now... culture shock, I think," she shrugged, her smile faltering for a moment as reality starting settling in once more. "And look at the wonderful day it gives me when I finally want to venture outside!" she added, managed a little smile at the thought of it. "How about you?"
