[ When the feed clicks on a blond and very athletic young woman takes up most of the picture, one corner of her lip a little twisted while she tries to explain her feelings. ]

Do you guys always get these kind of strange vibes in this place, or is it just me and the fact that it's my first day. [ Clearly she fails at explaining this. But she's here, and she doesn't plan on leaving in the near future, so she's just going to have to suck it up.

Her smile is more forced, but she's not exactly disappointed or upset though. ]

Hello. [ She begins with a small wave. ] My name's Cassie, I'm a new warden. Uh... Wow, this almost feels like being in school again. [ Getting ready to say stuff about herself most people won't care about or remember. ]

Before coming here I lived in San Fransisco and work usually kept me pretty busy. [ If anyone recognizes her red shirt emblazoned with two "Ws" they might know who she is, and even if they don't, they may recognize it as Wonder Woman's symbol. ] I like archaeology, the color red, pizza, and being a warrior, among other things. And despite these strange vibes, which I'm sure will go away anyway, I am happy to be here. It's new and something different, not really what I'm used to, but I'm sure my time here will be memorable nonetheless.

Disappeared? That's too bad. I'm sure you would have been a great help.

Yeah. [He pauses, and would have left it at that - but she's new, she deserves to get the best information he can give.] It happens, from time to time. Chances are good it'll happen to you, too. And it can come at any time, there's no warning, there's no reason, just there one day and gone the next. And it sucks.

[He misses David, kind of. He's surprised to realize it - David was a pain in the ass, he was frustrating, hen ever seemed to learn his lessons...but he could have been an okay guy, if he hadn't wound up a secret child soldier. It may not have been his fault that David was gone, but it would always feel that way.]

[ Oh. Suddenly she feels much worse. This was someone Tim was attached to. She's not really thinking about it happening to her. Eating made it a little awkward to give him a hug, reach across the table for his hand, or squeeze his shoulder, so she pauses, rests her hands in her lap, and stares at him, wanting to make sure he could tell she is not saying what she thinks he wants to hear but what she thinks is true. ]

I'm sorry, Tim. I'm sure you were a great help. If he is back home, or anywhere else, he has to be better off. [ She just hopes he's not dead. People disappear, they don't die. That's what she's telling herself. ]

If I had known you were here my decision to come would have been an easier one to make. [ Smiling warmly she leans a little closer. ] I guess this is my roundabout way of saying please don't mind if I bother you for tips all the time. [ Tim's good at this job, she knows it. ]

[He smiles a little at her, because he does think David's dead - but there's no need to shove that out on the table. It'll just make them silent and awkward, and he's had a lot of time to deal with David's disappearance better than that.

He shrugs a little, and his smile widens; it's easier to smile around her, around anyone who knows what he's been through, who's gone through most of it with him.]

I'm pretty good at fielding questions, [he teases.] I don't think I'll mind much.
