Who: Nadine and various prisoners
What: Visiting the dungeons
Where: The dungeons
When: Post-festival



Nadine is no stranger to the dungeons by now. Besides her frequent visits to Flagg, there are other prisoners down here she's befriended. Who are still imprisoned.

Apparently some are more threatening a threat than others.

And of course there are still plenty of others she hasn't met at all. It's important to know the other people brought here, to take their measure and determine who might be useful. It doesn't look like Thorne is about to let her husband out any time soon, and that's a problem that will need to be dealt with. She knows (casually, at least) a number of those considered welcomed guests, but many of the poor souls stuck down here are still a mystery.

So after she's checked in with Flagg, she turns her attention to the other prisoners, offering a smile or casual greeting through the bars. She's armed with cookies and a friendly demeanor, standing out in the gloom of the dungeon with her white hair and silk tunic.

"Yeah, Barnstead New Hampshire. The year 2020. Or maybe 21, I don't know, the world...kind of ended within the last year. At least the civilization part of it. Humanity got cut down to about one percent by disease so I wasn't exactly paying attention to dates."

Boulder had somewhat observed the regular calendar, but Nadine had other things to focus on. Whether or not the year had turned hadn't been one of them.

"But it was 2020 when that happened."

"Wow, uh, I'm from California. Only in 2013," Jolie says. "So either, um, we're from different Earths or I've got a really shitty future coming my way." If she ever gets back home, that is. Maybe she can start warning people, if she does?

"From what I understand, there's lots of different Earths. So we're probably from different ones. I wouldn't worry about it too much."

It seems the safest answer. Nadine has no way of knowing which Earth anyone's from, if they're from the past. There was no warning, no long lead in to the end. It had all happened in roughly a couple of months.

"I never made it out to California. Are the beaches really as pretty as they look on TV?"

"Uh, some of them. The one out by my house is kind of rocky, but I like it that way," Jolie shrugs. "Though that means there's not a lot of big waves."

Since she doesn't know if she's ever getting to go home (she tries not to think about it, actually), worrying about what will happen in the future of her Earth is kind of pointless. Besides, she'd rather worry about begging another one of those cookies off of Nadine.

"The water's really cold," she says, a little wistful, "but that makes it bracing. It really wakes you up, you know? I never picked up surfing, but I thought about maybe doing it when I got a little older."
