I know that there are a large number of things to address, introductions to make, solutions to find, et cetera, but I must ask something of all of you.

Can anyone figure out how to walk safely on these ridiculous, frictionless floors? I'm almost certain that someone is going to get injured, even if you ignore the massive balls and paddles.

I am afraid I have nothing in the way of supplies myself, or I would offer. Being plucked out of one's home does not allow for the time to pack a traveling case.

You as well. I am Helena Wells.

[littleladyluck]

I understand completely. So you're a new arrival? I may know enough to help you, if you need help with figuring things out.

I am Genevieve Blanchard. I hope that we get along well!

[timelessinventor]

I am quite new, and only a little lost. One of my colleagues from home is here as well, and she has caught me up some. However, I could always use more information.

As do I. Where are you originally from?

[littleladyluck]

Good! You're lucky to have someone from your world with you. If I can be of any help, let me know!

Monaco. I am of Monaco, and I am Monaco. You, if I may ask?

[timelessinventor]

Thank you. I do appreciate it.

London originally, but currently a town in the middle of nowhere South Dakota. It does not even have a legal name.

One moment. You said that you are Monaco? How does that work?

[littleladyluck]

Any time.

That must be quite a change! Any reason why you decided to move to a place like that? I must admit, I'm curious.

Where I'm from, whether they choose to come into the public eye or not, countries, territories, and other entities like that have personifications. We talk to the leaders, fight on the battlefields, and we live for as long as the country survives.

It was work. The organization I work for picked up and moved, and I went with them.

Fascinating! That must be amazing to be able to watch things like that, however it must also be quite painful.

[littleladyluck]

Ah, I understand. Odd place to move, but I suppose they had their reasons...?

Oh, absolutely. It's as beautiful as it is painful, watching time pass. Everything seems fast after a few centuries, really. We are on the battlefields of every war, meeting every ruler to come and go, talking to our citizens.

I work for an organization which follows the most powerful nation of the time. As the British Empire was waning in power, it moved to America, and the decision was made to put it away from the center of power for its protection. Thus, we are in the middle of nowhere.

It would be so fascinating to see that much history and progress. [Her voice is thoughtful, but curious.]

[littleladyluck]

I can be almost certain that our worlds do not overlap, then! If America and England knew of your organization and the transfer you made, there would be much more bickering on that subject. Significantly more usage of the term "old man."

It really is. I still have so many things that my people have made through the years; I suppose a chunk of them would be considered relics now, actually! Ancient Greek and Roman items do get a lot of attention. [Genevieve is old. So very old.] What era are you from, if I may?
