[The feed is showing the side of a building but it's moving around a bit. It eventually shows where the wall meets the ground to reveal... an odd looking helmet. It looks like an astronaut's helmet or something.]

I'm dead. [Finally, a woman's voice is heard.] I'm dead. They're all dead. And the afterlife has cellphones. I don't know what's going on. Maybe I'm in a coma and this is some-

[The red light that cues the phone is recording is finally noticed. She looks at the screen for a second and the viewer can see a beautiful woman with long dark hair, bright green eyes, and... yes, that's a space suit.]

[Not realizing that this feed is being sent out to other devices, she looks around the area for a second, before shutting it off. Maybe she can make a recorded journal or something, but if she's really alive, then she has to figure out how to survive and what's going on.]

I'm...sorry, miss. But you're not dead. You're just in Russia.

[doc_holi]

[A voice. From the phone. She looks back down at it, realizing that the recorded video must have been live.]

...

How did I get to Russia? How are you?

[She's a bit on guard and rightfully so.]

[historyrabbit]

The same way all of us did, a little girl picked us up and dropped us here.

My name is Lavi, one of the folks that's been here longest. There's a video of this place and what we know about it.

[gatherstoys]

Toy not dead. Toy just brought here.

[Pause.]

And toy get 404.

[doc_holi]

A little girl?

[Breach or someone else or-?]

Are you prisoners here? ... Where's this video?

[Why should she trust you?]

[doc_holi]

[No, that's not Breach. But it's actually close.]

Why am I here? What's 404?

[liedthrice]

[A middle-aged gentleman appears on the screen. He smirks not out of malice, but amusement.]

Hm. I was certainly taken by surprise, myself.

[Unlike the others, Claus is more than willing to feed her fears.]

Calm down, now. Death is not such a horrible place.

[Video]

[and_my_pickaxe]

[...Ugh. Did she sound like that when she came here, too?]

Stop that. Get ahold of yourself.

[Video]

[doc_holi]

I- What?

[But that guy said this was Russia and-]

[Great. Let's play Which One is Lying.]

[shadow_possession]

[there's a young man with red eyes and white hair smiling on the other end of the feed.]

No, you're not dead. Only two people can be called 'dead' in this place.

[he tips his head slightly.]

Do you require some assistance?

[Video]

[doc_holi]

[That kind of does calm her down a bit, but she doesn't who to trust with all of these people talking to her. Some of them are saying different things and she's so lost.]

[She takes a deep breath.]

... I'm okay. I'm just-

If I'm not dead, then what happened? [She doesn't expect an answer, really.]

[doc_holi]

[Only two of them? Well, that doesn't help anything.]

... I don't know. Who are you?

[shadow_possession]

[he smiles.]

My name is Dainn. May I ask your name?

[doc_holi]

[She's not sure actually. But she goes with it.]

Rebecca Holiday. Most people just call me Holiday.

[shadow_possession]

[Dainn laughs. he seems fairly amused by the name.]

Well then Holiday, since we know our names I'll ask again. Do you need any help? I doubt you wish to stay out there all day and night.

[alma_karma]

[A smiling boy jumps into the line-up of new faces, waving enthusiastically.]

You're not dead, I promise!

[doc_holi]

Well, I don't but-

[It's either these people or nothing, Doc.]

... I guess I could.

[doc_holi]

[Kid, you are way too happy to be here right now. You almost made her jump.]

I- I think you're right.

[Video]

[liedthrice]

Why the surprise? I'm the same as you. I died, and woke up here.

At least- that is what happened, isn't it? You suddenly don't seem very confident.

[Video]

[doc_holi]

That's because I'm being told several different things.

[But how could she have not died? She can't remember what happened after Rhodes was sucked out of the space station. And she was right there. So.]

[shadow_possession]

There should be an apartment around. Can you see it? That's where everyone else is. That little dead girl should have given you your room number.

[he pauses to think for a moment.]

Although I am capable of showing you the way in person if you can't see it from there.

[not that he really wants to go out.]

[doctor_dragoon]

You're not dead, Miss. [Convinced yet? The young man on screen nods a polite greeting.]

My name is Okumura Yukio, and you're in Russia. This place is called Nesreca.

[Video]

[and_my_pickaxe]

That's better. If you freak out, you're just doing what she wants you to do.

[The rich-looking woman stiffens, sizing up the woman on the other end. ...She didn't seem like a threat.]

Sorry about your luck, but you've been kidnapped. Wherever you came from, you won't be seeing it for a long time, lady.

[doc_holi]

[Little dead girl?] You mean that girl with the ball? She's not dead.

[Because. Uh. They talked and. Uh.]

Sh- She told me I get 404.

[shadow_possession]

[Dainn laughs again.]

I did say there were two dead people here, didn't I? But at least you have your room number! That's something.
