Action;1766 Beaver Street
[While finding herself in strange new settings isn't very surprising at all, waking up in bed with completely different clothes is. So if her brand new family doesn't hear her in her room going "What? What? What??" like some sort of one-trick parrot, or the occasional "Hello?" as she wanders through the house, they'll find her still in her pajamas, investigating the fridge. Open, close. Open...close. Open--ooh is that an apple?]

I wonder who made this box so cold?

Phone
--'s this? Is it a gadget? Maybe if I do something it'll talk! Hmm...

[This is followed by the sound of her apparently playing with the dial.]

Hello? Hello? Mister Gadget, can you hear me? I wonder if Meg would know how it worked.

[... Wait, he sort of knows that voice.] ... Viki? Is that you?

[phone]

[waffuport]

[Oh hey, you sound familiar!] What? Oh! Is that Hugo? Hugo, how'd you get in here?

[Phone]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Viki?

[Phone]

[waffuport]

Yes, I'm Viki! How did you know?

[Phone]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

...You don't remember me? It's Lyon, from Falena!

[Phone]

[waffuport]

Falena? You mean that queendom? That's strange...I don't remember going there before.

[Phone]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

But how is that--

...Wait a minute. Maybe this is like what Miakis was talking about.

Is it possible you're from before when we met outside the Ceras Lake ruins?

[Phone]

[waffuport]

Oh--I suppose so! I mean, I've never been to Ceras Lake before, unless I've forgotten it, but. I don't think I've forgotten people before...

[On the one hand, Lyon is a little disappointed that Viki doesn't know who she is. But on the other hand, familiar voices are comforting. So her own tone of voice comes out somewhere in the middle.]

Well then, it's nice to meet you, Viki!

[Phone]

[waffuport]

[Viki, meanwhile, is totally oblivious to these mixed feelings, and sounds as cheerful as ever.]

It's nice to meet you too! I've never met someone with a gadget like this before.

[Phone]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

It's called a telephone. It lets people talk to each other from far away. It's a little like what you do, except it only sends voices.

[Phone]

[waffuport]

Wow, wow, really?? It's like an elevator for voices! Does that mean you're far away too?

Phone

[Another person who doesn't know how phones work? This place is crazy! But Sara dutifully answers, anyway.]

Hello. This thing you're on right now is called a phone. I can tell you how to use it, if you want.

[commentboxtroll]

[That... sounds... like...]

Yeah, we can hear you.

Phone

[waffuport]

Oh! A phone? Um, hello phone! I'd be very glad if you told me how to use you.

[waffuport]

Oh, that's good! It would be kind of silly if I was talking to nobody.

[A pause.]

Have I talked to you before?

[commentboxtroll]

[...sounds like one more person he needs to babysit.]

It's Caesar, Viki.

[waffuport]

...Caesar? Caesar?? Really?? I haven't seen you in so long! Or heard you I guess. Does this mean I'm in Zexen?

[...Do you really want to babysit her Caesar.]

[commentboxtroll]

You haven't? [That gets a pause out of him. He's already run into people from different times here...] How long ago was that?

And no, this isn't Zexen. This is Mayfield.

[No, he really doesn't, but who else is there to?]

[waffuport]

Umm...three years maybe? Two? Four? I'm not sure.

May-Mayfield? I've never heard of that place. Is it on another continent?

[.....Family! There's gotta be one in this house somewhere.]

[commentboxtroll]

You're not sure... [Of course.] A few years, then. Okay.

Mayfield isn't on any continent. Not any we'd know, anyway. This isn't our world anymore, Viki.

[waffuport]

....It's not on a continent? Or the world? But then, what's it on?

[Phone]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Not too far. Just across town, actually.

[Phone]

[waffuport]

Oh, that doesn't sound too far! Unless it's a very big town. Maybe I could teleport there!

[commentboxtroll]

[That isn't... what he... oh Viki.]

...it's on a landmass, just none of ours.
