Excuse me, I-

Oh, I dropped it. Hello? Is this thing broken?

My name is Dolores. I'm not sure I understand where I am. The kind folks at the... bureau tried to explain it, but I'm afraid so little made sense to me and so many words I've never heard before. My head isn't feeling quite right. Texas is a bit far from home, yet I've found my ranch and my horse as if somehow all the land has shifted overnight. My parents are missing, and our herd seems to also be lost. I'm afraid they won't know the way back.

Is this real? Where is Sweetwater? I was meant to go into town this morning. Has the train come by yet? Maybe there's still time to get back before dark.

	I have never been, but I hear it is very nice. I’m from Sweetwater, it’s a settlement out west from here. I should be getting back. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm going to take this one thing at a time. Hello, I'm Seivarden. This is real, although it's perfectly understandable if it feels unreal and difficult to take in. It's difficult to wrap your mind around multiple worlds existing, let alone that you're in a new one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hello, Seivarden. That is an unusual name, I have never heard anything like it before. Are you from elsewhere too? I do not understand. There is only one world. I just happened to end up in the wrong place in it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's a name from another time and place. Another world and another planet.

I'm afraid that's not true. There are many worlds. Most people live in only one their whole lives, and it's the only one they know. Perhaps we're not meant to see more than one. But the group of us that's been brought here, we'll be in at least two.

How far is Sweetwater from Texas, do you know? Perhaps it would help to go there and see the difference. Although that may be quite a lot to take in, too.

	... Are you quite all right, sir? You must have hit your head. I can ask for the doctor. I don’t know how far. I don’t know. I’ve never left it. I wasn’t supposed to leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm perfectly alright. Sorry. Didn't mean to overwhelm you. Is Sweetwater a city? Do you know what country or state? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Things are not meant to just happen without reason. There’s supposed to be an order to the days. Hello, Waverly. I wish we could meet under less strange circumstances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, but that's kind of how it goes here. It would be nice, but we don't really get to choose those sorts of things. If you need anything, feel free to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Basically. Especially here. That's okay. No one starts out with much, but we've all gotten help starting out until we can get ourselves set up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
