[ she could have waited until el sorted out her id, but she does not. this seems important. ]

Hi, my name is Silena Beauregard and I arrived a couple days ago. I'm still a little new to everything, but when we were dropped off, myself and another girl, we were told something that I think we're supposed to pass on.

The woman in the van said she didn't know the lost ones weren't really lost. She made a mistake.

[ well, that's - interesting. ]

thank you for passing that on
did she say anything else? how did she say it?

and hi
welcome to new amsterdam

[chocolateries]

Thank you.

She said it like an afterthought. Maybe someone reminded her? It was after a lot of instructions for us but nothing like that.

[covertness]

what kind of instructions?

[chocolateries]

Don't go to the police, don't steal, don't think we won't get caught stealing.

[covertness]

those are all good rules for new arrivals
but just to be clear

this was one of the people in the van that dropped you off?

i don't think they've ever chatted with any of us before

[chocolateries]

Yes.

There was two people, her and a nurse. She was in armor and did most of the talking.

She said people would be coming to pick us up, which they did!

[forcevisions]

Do you think she's talking about the Displaced from the outpost? 'Lost' during the first drop-off?

[covertness]

yeah, i think so
who else could she be referring to? if it's a message to us

[ and content of the message aside, it's also interesting that there's a message at all. ]

[forcevisions]

The Morningstar agents, but that seemed like a stretch. I just wanted to be sure.

[covertness]

i don't think we can be 100% sure unless we get to chat with the guard, but yeah

I see you've mentioned instructions similar to the ones that I received. What do you make of them?

[chocolateries]

It sounded like she was trying to keep us safe. The instructions were to get us to the safe house without being caught.

She also told us not to murder anyone. Is that something that happens a lot?

[impede]

Apparently it did once!

That was before my time, however. I don't understand what kind of instinct would lead toward murder ... There are few in my world who are "made" that way.

[chocolateries]

[ clarisse talked a lot of shit but silena doesn't think she's capable of murder and clarisse and the children of ares are the closest she'd imagine to "made" that way. ]

I don't understand it either. Was that part of your instructions?

[impede]

No. Come to think of it, she only referred to trouble and hurting someone.

I guess it was more open-ended for us, except for where we were meant to have fun.

Did you come in from the rain?

@loki.odinson

[selfimage]

And who was this woman in the van?

[chocolateries]

The guard.

We weren't introduced.

[selfimage]

Excuse the 20 questions and all, but how did you know? Inquiring minds trying to get to the nitty gritty and all.

[chocolateries]

She was wearing body armor so I guessed

[selfimage]

Not so far off, I suppose.
All things considered, I feel more diverted than lost.

[gradual]

is that pronounced sa-lee-na, or cell-lee-nah or soul-lay-na or...?

[chocolateries]

See-lee-na, like si in Spanish, but it's close enough to sa-lee-na.

[gradual]

welcome to special hell. not a great place to be stuck in, but it could always be worse.

[chocolateries]

Hell because it sucks or hell because you think we're all dead?

[gradual]

oh, trust me, we're not dead. ( he knows what dead feels like. being a ghost was no fun. ) but if you try drinking anything from the mini-bar, you might wish you were...
