[ There seems to be another new face on the feed today, one that looks a little weary and scruffy as he scratches the side of his cheek with a bit of a frown. Clearly, he hasn't gotten a lot of sleep lately, but it's hard to say whether that's due to his arrival in this new place or the events beforehand. Maybe it's all of the above.

Dropping his hand out of view of the camera, he finally speaks. ]

I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Detective Nick Burkhardt from Portland, Oregon. I've only been here for a couple of days but I got the gist of what's going on from the man named Jerry at the information booth and just from scoping things out but a lot of it really doesn't make sense at the moment.

[ He sighs. ]

I guess the main thing I want to know besides how to get back home is what to expect here. Also, is there any kind of police department or any other emergency services in case there is trouble?

There's not much in Haven that seems to be worth anything. Which is probably why enough of us are trying to make some sort of frame work that can carry over from reality to reality.

Well, we were in a frozen winter wonderland with invisible monsters last time.

[grimmfaced]

Is there anywhere in that sort of frame work where you might need a Detective?

Oh, well. That's something. What did they do?

[menarebrave]

Some buildings carry over from location to location. The police station should theoretically be here still.

Wounds that would turn the area of the body into ice. The most extreme variation would turn you into an ice sculpture.

Even if they're not very good.

That sounds very unpleasant. I take it everyone was saved?

[menarebrave]

They seem to take on an appearance to make them match the locations we're in. They didn't always look like they came from the run down side of a citty.

The ones we could anyways. Some had been gone too long.

That seems like it should take a lot of work on behalf of whoever is behind this. Though I guess maybe not as much as kidnapping people from their homes and trapping them here through different places.

I'm sorry to hear that. That must have been hard.

[menarebrave]

I haven't figured out if it's something our kidnappers do, or a natural byproduct of shifting realities. It's a bit above my paygrade.

And I have a high paygrade.

Some had been statues for somewhere near decades. You can't save everyone, Detective.

[grimmfaced]

That must be nice. Having a high paygrade.

Maybe not but that doesn't really make me feel better. Does it for you?
