[Liz isn't sure what's going on or how the heck she ended up in the room she's now standing in, but she is nore than a little bit alarmed. The last thing she remembered was helping Chloe escape the Edison Group's facility. The chaos of the demon summonings and people dying ..]

[She looks around the room, only vaguely taking solace that this place looks different than any of the Edison facilities she's been in so far.]

[Then she sees the journal sitting on the small desk and walks over to it. She's not thinking at first and simply reaches for it, expecting her hand to pass right through it .. when it thumps right into it.]

What??

[Cue Liz just kind of staring at the book for several moments before lifting it to read.]

[She spends the next several minutes figuring out how to post something.]

Umm .. Hi, am I doing this right? Wow .. okay, this is really crazy. And I mean really crazy, and please believe me when I say I know crazy.

Ahh .. [She trails off, watching as the words appear in the journal as she says them.]

Okay .. that's cool .. not even going to lie about how cool that is. Does it work like this for everyone? Umm .. is there an everyone? I mean, this is way too advanced for the Edison Group .. So, there's other people here too, right?

Umm .. okay, so .. introductions, I guess? My name's Liz .. annnnd .. I guess this Deior guys is a pretty powerful wizard or something right? 'Cause .. I'm supposed to be dead ..

[Unfortunately Liz hasn't tried to open the door yet, or she'd find that she's quite possibly still very much her former ghostly self. Someone is will likely suffer a pretty big disappointment when she realizes things aren't quite as they seem..]

But if a wizard can do this, how do we know they're telling the truth about our worlds being gone?

[What if they're just dicking around with us?]

[Cue Liz pursing her lips, because this was all too well a possibility.]

So, like .. if this is all just some game the Edison Group or whatever is pulling on all of us? I guess it's, like, totally possible that this is all just a big old lie they could be telling us, but ..

But I was dead .. like .. dead dead .. And there's not anyway to be brought back from that as far as I know. If I was brought back by, like, a necromancer or something, then I'd be a zombie and definitely not in as good a shape as I am now. I've been, like, dead for months ..

[Eww. Yeah, decomposing Liz does not make for a nice mental image at all.]

Ugh, I would smell so totally bad .. Ewww.

...You're right, it'd take more than a wizard to bring someone back to life.

[Ezra audibly deflates.]

I knew it was too good to be true.

[Liz might be new here and she might be a bit distanced from the whole 'being alive' thing, but there is no missing the change in Ezra's tone. Guilt, Liz has it.]

Hey .. like, I don't really know anything about this place though, you know? Who knows what is or isn't involved .. I mean, I sure as hell don't! All I know is I was most definitely dead and now I don't seem to be anymore .. There could be any number of explanations that I don't know about, right?

[Optimism, Liz has it! Kinda .. sometimes.]

I guess. But I don't know if any of those explanations would be good enough.

[Liz makes a soft sound before speaking again.]

Well .. Neither of us will know for sure until we find out, right? So .. how about we, like, find out first and then go into freak out mode, okay? Maybe it's a wizard with tons of power and maybe it's something big and scary, but we'll figure it out and get back home or wherever ..

[Do you hear that supportive hint in her voice, Ezra?]

[He certainly does.]

Okay. That's a good idea, I guess.

[EZRA YOU'VE JUST MADE A BFF FOR LYFE .. well .. sorta .. since she's not really alive. BUT SHE DON'T KNOW THAT JUICY DETAIL JUST YET~! :D

She smiles brightly to herself as he seems to take this suggestion well enough.]

There you go! See, it's better to stay on the positive side until you, like, know differently. It'll keep you from going bonkers .. Well, it should help keep you from going bonkers .. maybe ..

[She laughs and then shakes her head.]

What's your name?

[Ezra, you cannot possibly deny this bubbly young woman the answer, can you?]

[Of course not. Her happiness is contagious, and it is making Ezra feel quite agreeable.]

I'm Ezra. What's yours?

[Look at that! He even asked for your name. You should feel quite lucky, that's not something he does too often.]

[Liz won't realize just how lucky she is until she gets to know him better, but she's already thinks he's the bee's knees. Her smile seems ever present in her tone, now, and she even goes so far as to activate the video function.]

Hi, Ezra, I'm Liz ..

[She might not be able to see you yet, Ezra, but them baby blues are shining.]

[There's a lot of shuffling, it's clear Ezra is trying to do something, but nothing actually happens.

It takes him a minute to admit what he was doing.]

...Still can't figure out the video thing.

[Liz looks to be the absolute pillar of patience as Ezra falls silent save for a few sounds. When he voices his issue she brightens once again, her smile never slipping.]

Oh, gosh, that's okay! I only figured it out by accident ..

[She leaned in and kinda whispered that, as if sharing something with Ezra alone. She was perfectly aware of what embarrassment felt like and she wasn't about to put her newest friend through that! She now makes it her mission to help him figure out video posts!!]

So, like, you can do an audio post, right? Well, video works pretty much the same way .. by, like, touching the page. Only, instead of waiting for text to appear when you touch the page, just touch it a little longer. As soon as the image of yourself is showing, I'll see it too!

[Her head tilts slightly to the side, hair curtaining around her face. She has no idea that admitting the problem might be hard for him, but she's taking the matter seriously and not teasing in the slightest.]

[Oh, hey. He hadn't tried that yet. Ezra is actually half decent at taking instructions, and pretty soon--BLIP. Ezra is staring into the camera, scratching at his cheek a bit awkwardly.]

I think it's working now.

[Liz is beaming quite proudly as Ezra figures it out and his own image appears a moment later. Ezra, what adorable pointy ears you have! :D]

Looks like! I never doubted that you'd figure it out.

[Positive reinforcement is go and Liz has it in spades! Doesn't she just look thrilled enough for the both of you?]

Hi. [She adds another little wave here.]

It's great to, like, put a face to the name and voice.

Hi.

[Have a tiny wave back. This whole video thing was going to take a while to get used to. The idea of somebody not being there but still watching... it was kind of weird.]

You can do that without video, you know. If you sneak around enough. ...Figuring out who is who, I mean.

[Which is what Ezra usually does. By the way, this is his idea of trying to be helpful. Just so you know.]

[As Ezra waves, Liz's smile brightens considerably; he's a cutie. His suggestion is clearly meant to be helpful, so Liz will freely view it as such.]

Hmm? Oh, yeah! I suppose I could go that way and, like, poke around until I have faces attached to names and stuff .. I guess I could, like, just read through other entries, too, huh?

[She purses her lips, her expression thoughtful.]

Would have been a lot easier if I could still, like, go through walls and stuff, though .. BUT, that is a price I am willing to pay to do it the old fashioned way.

[Hey, Ezra .. let's creep behind bushes together and read and listen to old journal entries so we know everyone ever!]
