[As the video starts to play, the person on screen looks like they've come about as close to the brink of death as anyone can manage and still come back from it. Her dark hair is pulled back from her ghostly white face and pale blue eyes that are normally accentuated with black eye makeup, appear to be lined with blood. Her tongue flickers out over dry, cracked lips and the picture is shaky, as if the person holding the camera has unsteady hands.]

Aren't you supposed to take the red pill before you wake up in bizarro land? [The woman trying to inject as much vibrancy as she can manage into her voice, despite the obvious struggle to do so.]

There should at least be food. Like, nachos. Why don't any of my kidnappings ever come with nachos?

[The shake of the camera worsens as she pulls one hand away, trying to rub away the evidence of what had happened before she woke up here.]

As comfortable as this floor is... if somebody could point me in the direction of food? [Aware of how she looks, her hand vaguely gestures to her face.] It's okay. It was just a minor case of Fae plague. A burger or six and I'll be good to go.

[You're welcome!]

I am like, laser focused when it comes to getting free leather goods. [And she has the kind of imagination that will probably see her making the most of the Wonderclosets in no time.]

I do like shiny. [Yep, still hugging the boots and the jacket as they walk.] Also, free. People weren't kidding about that right? This isn't like a mini bar in a hotel where you go crazy and then get slapped with a massive bill at the end of your stay?

[Yeah like she could afford the bill she's already racked up if that's the case.]

A pamphlet... [Nose wrinkling.] Is that like an instruction manual cause, yeah I'm really more a try it and see kind of learner.

I'm the same way with scarves... [ And look who's wearing one today. No big surprises there - although this one is definitely fabric instead of knit due to weather shifts. There's a soft laugh at the comment, knowing exactly where she was coming from. ] I've been here two years, we tested the closets out my first few months, trying to figure out if they ever hit a point where they just max out. Spoiler alert: they don't.

And no, no bill. There's been a few people who've gone and come back and there's been no mention of any bill waiting for them here or at home. [ Honestly, the closets and other free stuff are a small price to pay for the whole kidnapping thing. ]

More of a guide, although I think it's still missing the coffee shop, so I can't say I'm that hung up on it.

As long as I don't have to pay it in Karma. [Which, if she knew her future? She might have thought twice about her plan to use and abuse the closets.]

I've got the basics down at least.... Though... I probably shouldn't have led with Fae Plague if I wanted people to be thorough. [Or led with Fae Plague - ever.]

[ Things she's not sure about, paying it back in Karma. So she's just gonna give a little chuckle on that and try to hold off on thinking too hard about it. ] I mean, maybe? I tend to think of it as more of an unlimited apology for some of the events.

[ There's a realization that Kenzi is a lot more like herself than she might have thought, eyebrows lifting as she smirks. ] Basics are about all you need, I'm very much a learn on the go kind of girl and I'm still here, so that's gotta mean something. [ A beat. ] Yeah, I could see how Fae Plague might scare some people off. Weirder things have happened around here, though, so I guess it takes a little bit more than that to make me nope out of a situation.

[ Okay, so maybe this wasn't one of the times to be so casual about this... But eh. ]
