[Action: Knocking on your door]

[Bail is at your door carrying a toolbox and looking at a piece of paper]

Oh, hello. I hope your sink isn't actually giving you trouble. I was sent here to repair it, but I'm afraid that's far outside my skillset.

[Action: John Doe Park]

[Alderaanian culture involves a strong appreciation for nature, so Bail finds himself wandering through the park, examining the trees and flowers and murmuring to himself.]

It's... unsettling.

It doesn't seem natural. I haven't seen a rainstorm yet.

[jumpsuited_rat]

There's not a lot about this place that is natural. It takes some getting used to.

[bailedontheempire]

It's been rather overwhelming, and I'm told I've only seen the town when it's quiet.

[jumpsuited_rat]

I've been told things happen often, but I've only witnessed a couple myself.

How long have you been here?

[bailedontheempire]

Around...

[He has to think for a moment]

A month, by the calendar here.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[She nods.] Not too long then. I've been here close to half a year. The past month has been calm.

[bailedontheempire]

It seems like there's been enough going on without the town adding anything.

[jumpsuited_rat]

Everyone finds things to do to keep themselves occupied. The town's idea of fun is much more nasty.

[bailedontheempire]

Hopefully we'll have a chance to work out all our timelines before that starts in its earnest.

[jumpsuited_rat]

Yes. Though I'd prefer to simply find a way out of here and not have to deal with that sort of thing again.

[bailedontheempire]

That would certainly be the ideal. There must be efforts underway.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell nods.]

I spend all my spare time searching the town for clues. Haven't had much luck yet.

[bailedontheempire]

That... seems to be a common situation.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell nods.]

Right. In my experience, there's a solution to every puzzle. We've just got to find the one that works here.

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, nothing is ever hopeless.

[jumpsuited_rat]

Exactly. There's no sense in giving up. Who knows what could be the answer.

[bailedontheempire]

Even in the darkest moment, there is always hope. We simply haven't found the right place to push yet.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[She's becoming rather fond of Bail now. Perhaps it was just because he was new, but few others had the same determination to escape she did.]

And once we do, we'll finally be free.

[bailedontheempire]

Yes, and back to what we should be doing.

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell nods.]

Right.

[In reality, she doesn't know what she'd be doing if she was back home. She had won her freedom and had the whole world to explore. Who knew what was out there for her.]
