Esme: Hm. A dress.
Esme: I'm sick of dresses.
Elly: My apologies, it was the best I could find in such short time. There are dozens of rooms in this house, however, so I am quite sure you will be able to find something more appropriate.
Esme: Well, that's- ow!
Esme: There're pins on this pillow! How can you sit down on it?!
Vaughn: ...I love my death right now.
Elly: Well-
Esme: It's alright. *fixes up the couch*
Esme: This is so cool! Much more comfortable!
Elly: *sits* I am happy that you are now at ease. If you do not mind me asking, what is the last thing you can remember?
Esme: Huh? The last thing, hm... Probably the bright lights of the hospital room.
Esme: But honey, if you wanna know more about me, that's fine! I don't mind talking!
Elly: Pardon?
Esme: You don't ask that kind of question without wanting to know more, do you!
Elly: No, I-
Esme: It's cool! I don't mind!
Elly: No! I wasn't asking becau-
Esme: It's alright, trust me! Let's see...
Esme: It was probably around 1946. The war just ended. I married my husband shortly before he was shipped off a few years before, so he came home that year. He was... different. But so was I.
Esme: I had worked in a factory, to help with the war effort. You remember that, don't you? Man, it was so boss. We were able to actually WORK! We didn't have to stay at home, we could go out and really use ourselves. But that ended when the men came back.
Esme: I felt... so alone. The other women were okay with going back to their wife business. We began to bear children, so that our men could have normal families after what they suffered from the Germans.
Esme: I can't even tell you how isolated I felt! I didn't want kids, didn't like them one bit! I hated going to church. I hated having those stupid neighborhood parties. Putting on a face to show how "happy" I was.
Esme: And my husband wasn't much better than the women! He was just as expectant! Wanted dinner on the table, wanted another child...
Esme: He'd just hole himself up in his school work. He got to go to college, seeing as he was a war veteran. And what'd I get? Dirty clothes, dirty dishes, dirty kids, dirty house... Ugh, it was so confining. I didn't have anything to look forward to.
Esme: While all the men had futures with work and college, I had my future with chores and kids! Church attendence and school meetings! All the while not having anyone truly understand me.
Esme: No support, nothing. No one to lean against.
Esme: So when I got pregnant with a third kid in '52, it was like "Agh, not again!". And that's the last thing I remember, the terrible pain, the bright lights, then, here. So that's my sob story and MAN am I glad that it turns out there's a heaven!
Elly: My! What an incredible story! And the fact that you are from Earth, too! I'm slightly curious now, who was the president during your World War II? Who was the leader of the German forces?
Esme: Oh, hm! Let's see... Churchill? No, he was in England... I think it was Roosevelt, but then a guy named Truman came along... And then...
Elly: *chuckles* It's quite alright.
Elly: I was never very good at history either. But, I believe you've told quite a bit. I am quite sure that you have a few questions of yoru own.
Esme: Oh yeah! Definitely! I'd love to know why you and the others are so small...
Esme: Then me and the big guy are giant compared to you!
Elly: Well, it appears that all of us are from different Earths, with the exception of Samuel Jones and Arafel. You, Vaughn, Melbourne, and myself all hail from Earth, but each instance is vastly different. For instance, in Vaughn's Earth, World War II did not end until the United States dropped four bombs onto Japan.
Esme: Ah hah! Hence the question about the president...
Esme: I wish I could tell you more, but truth be told, I never really paid much attention to it. It was on everyone's mind, in their conversations... It felt like another trap to me. I paid more attention to the All-American girls' league up north than anything!
Esme: Oh, hi! Did you run out of your nine lives?
Elly: *laughs* We do not know. We have a few animals running around. This little man is Mr. Hallow's Eve.
Esme: Well hello Mr. Hallow's Eve! I love cats! *squish*
Vaughn: Lucky cat!
Elly: Well then! I will allow you two to get aquainted. If you'd like, go ahead and tour around the house. I hope you will find something other than a dress.
Esme: Hey! Vaughn, right? So what's there to do here?
Vaughn: Eh, well... Truth be told, this is a boring ass place. There isn't really anything fun to do. I've given up on trying to have fun here.
Esme: *stands* Well then!
Esme: Unlike you, I'm not going to be so depressed about it! You only limit yourself by thinking like that! I won't give up so easily!
Esme: See ya later!
Vaughn: *mutters* ...Man, screwed THAT one up. Yay, go me.
Samuel Jones: Having lady problems? ^______^
