[River doesn't look at the camera. Instead, she sits crosslegged on the floor, writing rapidly in a notebook. Almost as though she's forgotten she started recording herself]

Already I've heard hypotheses on how we got here, and what we might be doing here. Alternate dimension seems to be the most popular theory but I'm uncertain. The train seems to imply short distance travel, and yet this planet is not in any solar system I've visited. Some sort of transport capable of space travel would be necessary, but I've yet to find anything outside of Serenity.

[Finally, she looks up, pausing in her work.] My name is River. If you wish to meet me, or partake in dance lessons, I can be found at Groove City.

[Darling's feed has him sitting at the table in his apartment with a stack of notes as well - though he DOES look at the camera. He's a bit of a ham, that much cannot be denied.]

Hello, River! You're a dancer? That's fantastic. I love to dance, but I've been told it's a bit...dated?

We'll have to compare notes later on. I'm gathering what information I can as well.

[soulmakingsound]

I'm trained in ballet, but have picked up some folk dancing in my travels. Jigs and reels and such.

[dynamitedarling]

Oh, that's positively delightful! I'd love to see you perform sometime.

Who knows? Maybe I'll even sign up for lessons. Why not?

[Someone else who values hard copy instead of digital. He's intrigued.]

Hello, River. My name's Gansey. It's a pleasure to meet someone else who is interested in the 'why's of how we arrived here.

[He smiles, giving her the one of his more honest ones, the one that he usually offers academics and scholars that share his unusual interests.]

I've been gathering information about this place for a few months. If you'd like more data to work with, I'd be happy to share.

[soulmakingsound]

That would be ideal. One can only go so far on one's own. Collaborative research is more efficient and effective.

From the way I was before I arrived, I was assuming this is the afterlife.

[ Is he... wrong? ]

[soulmakingsound]

I don't remember dying. Though would one, if one died very suddenly?

[shadowsummoner]

Probably not. Especially if they came at you from behind.

Or a really weird dream, I guess?

I'm Johnny. You've, uh. You've been to space?

[soulmakingsound]

A shared dream would require massively complex technology, and we'd likely all have to be in the same place anyway. Close to each other. Long distance dream sharing seems unlikely.

Hello, Johnny. Where and when I'm from, long distance space travel is quite frequent. Many find it necessary, to make a living.

[ Tandy doesn't know about the science behind it all but she is curious about a couple of things. ]

What is Serenity?

[soulmakingsound]

Serenity is home. A Firefly class ship. If you go by Hera Drive you'll see her. Tucked in amongst the houses.

[crazy_white_girl]

You lived on a ship? Like a yacht or....

[ The blue-eyed man on the screen greets her with a smile. ]

Are you as familiar with alternate dimensions as you are with space travel?

[ Because neither of those are incredibly familiar to him. Others have traveled in space, though he hasn't. And as far as he's aware, nobody he knows has traveled across dimensions. ]

[soulmakingsound]

Not remotely, unfortunately. Only from a theoretical point of view. The idea of the multiverse, where infinite realities could potentially exist at once. But I've never studied it in any depth.

[prodigalmess]

It's only theoretical where I come from too.

Space travel is in its relative infancy as well. Any manned missions haven't gone any further than the moon.

[ It's been weird to interact here with people who are from such different times and places than him. ]

You dance?

[soulmakingsound]

Interesting username
It would be very silly for me to teach dance if I didn't dance myself

[holyone]

It's a long story

C'mon, don't be rude.

[ The username is interesting while Jess's is very...simple. Not a lot of imagination there. ]

Do you think you can figure out how we got here?

[soulmakingsound]

That's the idea. Whether or not I will be successful remains to be seen. I may need to rely on the honesty of people. Notoriously a difficult thing to do.

hi.

Hello.
Curious name.
Do you enjoy setting fires?

Hi. I'm Tyrone Johnson. Cashier at Groove City?

[ Maybe it was the fact that she danced and would be at Groove City where he and Tandy worked that Ty decided to greet River. He had a basic understanding of what she'd shared. Hopefully what he told her next wouldn't go over as something negative, just more information on life in Haven.

He had a shy but friendly expression when responding. ]

I don't have any experience with different solar systems but I can travel into a different dimension. Well, I could before ending up here. I actually haven't tried since arriving.

[soulmakingsound]

Oh. Hello, yes. I've seen your face. Good to meet you, again.

[It doesn't exactly go over negatively, but she does frown at it. Confused, and a little frustrated.]

Interdimensional travel shouldn't be possible. You're an impossibility.
