[ 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. ]

If I can prevent any actual fights breaking out through helping people use their words, I'm all for it.

I find that strange to not call you something, but okay.

[meds4sale]

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so they say.

Alas, once cannot give what they do not possess. You may simply call me a medicine seller.

[lightinside]

I'm not familiar with that saying.

'Medicine seller'. Alright. I'll call you that.

[She isn't going to argue.]

What's it like where you're from?

[meds4sale]

Really? I thought it was quite common. Perhaps I am a little behind on such matters.

If you are from Earth, are you familiar with the country of Japan? It is a small island nation to the east of China and the southeast of Russia.

[ He's being thorough here; there are a lot of people in Trench from periods where they hadn't had much of the world mapped or alternate realities. ]

[lightinside]

Japan exists in my world, though I have never been to it before. Seems like an interesting place to visit.

I live in America, but most people I've talked to have never heard of the city where I'm from. Must be a different reality thing.

[meds4sale]

I cannot say I am familiar with many cities in America. I know of New York, Los Angeles, and Ohio.

[ No he doesn't realize that's a state. ]

[lightinside]

The first two are cities. Ohio is actually a state.

How did you come to hear about them?
