Roswell, New Mexico In Character

To all you amazing people who have been dropped here against your will. Revel in the facts that I have had to listen to for the last FIVE hours as my roommate wrote her Poli-Sci paper.

Roswell has a population of at least 45,000 people. (I think the lot of us bring that up a hundred?)

This town has the International UFO Museum and Research Center which has display panels and a library. (Is the library full of first hand alien encounter stories? I'm interested in this now.)

Quaint Roswell has the Spring River Park and Zoo which is home to native animals and an antique carousel. (Oooh, carousel. Who wants to go with me?)

We have three, THREE art museums. The Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art shows work from the Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program. The Roswell Museum & Art Center focuses on southwestern art. Then there is The Gallery. (I know which one my roommate is going to try and get work into.)

Want something outdoors, there is a golf course, a dog park, hiking trails, and camping spots.

Fancy some fun cheap dining? Roswell is home to the Flying Saucer McDonald's!

I stopped listening to her after that, because she was going on and on about other museums and theaters, and festivals, and events at the civic center, and... yeah. Apparently there is always something to do around here.

Well, this is...unexpected.

[Roommates: Adam Milligan, Claire Bennet, Jack]
Um. Don't be alarmed. I seem to have turned into a woman.

I've been working on some plans, designing a welcome center that I'd like to build near the portal, to try and make the transition for new arrivals a little easier. I'm looking for a few people to help make this a reality. I can't pay much, but I'll provide food and drinks for anyone who helps out. If we get enough people it should be a quick job.

I'm heading to the Crashdown to grab some lunch, but I'd love to talk to some people with construction experience, because honestly, I'm a little out of my league on that side of things. Who's in?

This place is... weirdly normal, now that I've had the chance to look at it. For a place that's done what it has to us, you would expect something more.

Then again, normalcy can be deceptive and that's what makes it dangerous.

Michael woke on a familiar cold, hard surface. With a groan and a stretch, he sat up and rubbed his eyes with the palms of his hands... his small hands? With confusion he examined the foreign fingers, then down the front of him...

"Hey! What the hell is going on here?" He yelled, cupping his chest with both hands.

It's been awhile since I've found myself in Roswell. Suppose it could be worse.

[Accidental voice post of someone screaming]

This is...not what I expected.

This isn't right and I don't know how to fix it.

[Michael]

You broke into the Crashdown?! Ay dios Mio, vato. I could have just gotten you a milkshake before I went home!

[Roswellians]

Did this just happen to myself and Max or are you guys different too?

Holy... WHOA! Nope. Just... nope. This is not happening. And I thought Beacon Hills was screwed up.

[There's a low growl that escapes over the network]

They say that you can look like family But this is ridiculous.

Roswell? I can't stay here. I need to get back to Mystic Falls.

Hey, since you're the local contact, and on the Welcome Committee, I have an issue that I need some help with.

What the hell?
