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.

That happens. The Homestead showed up here, too. It just happens sometimes.

Hi. I'm Waverly.

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.

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.

No, I suppose most of us do not get to choose the path we are given. But we can always make the best of it.

Thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately I do not have much to offer in return.

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.

Is this your home? Or were you also from elsewhere?

It’s strange, being the newcomer for once. Many people came to my town looking for a new way of life. I never thought I’d be the one needing to start mine over. But without my cattle, I have no livelihood.

Somewhere else. Purgatory. But not the hell version. But here's home now.

Well, I work at the Bureau if you need me to get a list of the places hiring.

I can do some needlework or painting? But while my father is gone, somebody must tend to the farm.

I think you can find a way to make money with the farm if you want to.

Is there somewhere to purchase more cattle?

I think there might be some places around. Eliot got one for his kid? I don't know from where.

I will see if I can find anything to trade for some.

Do you have any of the cows already?

No, not that I can find. Only my horse, and I rather not give him up.

Ah. Well. If you need to make money until you can get cows, I think you can probably find a job working on one of the other farms around. Just for a little while. Or really anywhere.

What other sorts of work? I'm afraid I don't know many other trades.

Well, I know Once Upon a Pie is looking for people. If you don't mind customer service. There are a few other stores around for that, too, but you're probably better off with one that one of the Displaced runs while you're getting your feet under you.

I do know how to make pies.

Then it could definitely work.
