[Another new face fills your feed - a middle aged man wearing a bright, bemused smile. He's a little sweaty, bow tie and glasses a little disheveled, but his tone is clear and bright. Friendly!]
Hello, everyone out there! My name is Doctor Casper Darling. I've just arrived, and as I was trying to get my bearings, I was knocked flat. It was like my atoms wanted to seperate, like every piece of me wanted to be in the same place at once. I didn't know what was happening, or even necessarily who I was.
[It's now that he realizes his glasses are crooked. He reaches up and straightens them out, still not realizing about his bow tie.]
It was fascinating. Is this normal here? This is a different dimension, isn't it?
This is my field, I would love it if I could be brought up to speed. Anything you can tell me.

Either way, he's a likeable sort. Or so he seems. Without her gift she feels BLIND and she hates it with every fiber of her being. When she finally clicks the feed on Darling will see a young woman with tired ice blue eyes and long dark hair and a friendly smile.
When she speaks her voice is laced with an English accent... by way of a few other places.]
It's normal for the moment but it's a recent development. When I first arrived it was less... [She waves a hand with a graceful curl of her wrist.] This. No glitching, no coming apart at the molecular seams. Just... Welcome to your new life in a new dimension. Hope you enjoy your stay.

[He is already taking notes, the picture of focus and rapt fascination. After a beat, he seems to realize something, chuckling at himself.]
Oh, wow, sorry, I really did let my manners go soaring out a window there. What's your name, Miss?
no subject
It began around the 24th, I think? If we're going by Earth's standard calendar. [She's been places where it HASN'T run on the same calendar, places where time had run... differently. Felt different to those that had ended up there. So she feels the need to specify.] If we're NOT, then three or four days or so ago, near as I can tell.
[She grins] I don't know, between the being yanked to a new spot in the multiverse and the glitching, I think you are more than forgiven forgetting a few social niceties.
I'm Zoey. Zoey Westen. It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Darling.

[Nodding as she speaks, he takes more notes, studious and excited all at once. He jabs the paper with a flourish to finish his sentence before looking up with a smile at the introduction.]
Zoey! Fantastic. Yes. Definitely a pleasure. How long have you been here, if you don't mind my asking?
no subject
Hm.
[She thinks a moment.] A day over two weeks, I think.
[Look, this is her fifth or sixth world at this point. Her sense of time is a little skewed.]
no subject
Jotting more words down, he sort of stares up at something off and above camera before looking back to Zoey.]
Wonderful. And you arrived by train as well? Where did you come from?
Please, stop me if I become too intrusive.
no subject
[And then she laughs.] I will, I promise, but I’m not too worried about it. As for where I came from… that is a complicated question. I’m from England, by way of Australia and Greece and a few other countries [She moved around a lot as a kid and calls more than one place home.] and five or six other worlds before this one. I think. Maybe seven?
[She might have lost track at this point.] And it depends on if you count ending up in the same corner of the multiverse twice as separate.
no subject
[He tracks along with the conversation - until she mentions worlds and multiverses, and he very nearly jumps out of his seat, becoming more animated and beaming from ear to ear.]
That's - that's incredible. Incredible! So many planes, I - well, this is going to need more than a phone conversation, now isn't it?
no subject
[There’s nothing quite like a scientist’s enthusiasm, and goddamn if Darling isn’t adorable as fuck.]
Yeah, it kind of is. In person is better. It’s not the sort of thing I like talking about over network devices like this.
[And if she’s going to go into any sort of in-depth detail about... any of it, well. She’d rather be face to face.]
no subject
Let's check our schedules and find a time to sit, yes? Over coffee - or something stronger, if you're the type?

It should suit me very well, I hope. I work there.
