[ The feed clicks on to reveal a blonde woman with green eyes staring into the camera. It takes a few moments before she adjusts the angle to give a better view of her face, one that it isn't so close up. She gives a warm smile. ]

Sorry about that! Still, getting used to this, uh, device.

[ Her accent is unmistakenly American. ]

Anyway. I'm Laurel Lance and I've been here for a little over a week now. Not going to lie, it's been a lot to take in, but I think I'm getting there. I just have a couple of questions for people.

Firstly, where has the best coffee?

Secondly, is there a gym or something like it around?

Last but not least, I'm wondering if there's a need for legal advice in this place. I'm a lawyer back home.

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

[ With that, Laurel ends the feed. ]

[lightinside]

You're welcome. And thanks for the offer of help in return.

[She gives him a warm smile.]

Maybe we'll meet each other in person one day. Have you been taking part in the activities that have been set up here?

[droptheious]

Don't mention it, I'm happy to help.

Oh, the party? Hah, not really my thing. Parties in the dream usually ended...badly. I try to avoid them when I can. [Just in case there end up being any horrific murders or time loops or wars or prom ghosts. ] But yeah! I'm sure we will, I'll definitely be...around.

[lightinside]

Okay, well it doesn't have to be at the party. I understand if you don't like going to them.

[She's flexible!]

If there is a place you feel more comfortable at, I can always swing by there.

[droptheious]

I like the library in Gaze! That place is my favourite in the whole city. There's so much you can learn from there.

[Just a big 'ol nerd here eschewing parties in favour of LIBRARIES. ]

[lightinside]

[Look, she works with a nerd back home. So Laurel is used to it and well, it's kind of sweet to see someone so excited about something.]

Library, huh? I've been looking to learn more about this place and things in general, so that works for me. Just let me know the best time for you.

[droptheious]

[He's just the Biggest Damn Nerd.]

Exactly, and what better place to learn than a library? I usually head there for the afternoon? We can meet these sometime!

[lightinside]

Afternoon works! I can head over there after lunch. You'll just need to give me directions so I don't get lost.

[Heh.]

[droptheious]

Okay, no problem. I'll make sure to send you directions. The Lamp network pops out right by it, though, so there's at least that.

/wraps this up

[lightinside]

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. [She's beaming at this point.] See you in a few days, Varian.

We'll talk then.
