[ Because she's reminded of the technology back home, this should be easy. It's not her first time she's had to make a call using Skype, or something similar. Video is the option Chloe opts for. ]

My name's Chloe― Chloe Decker. [ She doesn't notice it, the self-conscious gesture of tucking her hair behind her ear, but she sets her jaw as she pushes on, voice unwavering. Completely the opposite to how she feels on the inside. ] I guess you could say I arrived here just the same as a lot of you have, as crazy as it seems. If no one minds answering a few questions, I'd really appreciate it.

Are there any parents on this ship, mothers and/or fathers? Did you... Are there any children on-board?

[ 'What happens to them when you agree to the contract? Where do they go?' ― extra questions she bites her tongue on. Instead Chloe gives a smile that's barely a twitch of her lips. ]

Again― thanks.

[ Obviously she's not ready to end the face-time just yet as she pauses. ]

...I had a gun and a pair of handcuffs with me. Someone please tell me this place comes with a 'lost and found'?

You think you've seen them...? I kind of need a positive response here. And I don't know whether that's a good thing or not...

[ It was scary. Why did she look and sound human if she'd never been to Earth? ]

Yeah! Do you know where the rec room is? I'm pretty sure I've seen kids hand around there before! You might want to ask Toriel, anyway. She likes them.

[to the second part, a shrug.]

I could probably live with never going there. I mean, no offence, but I'd be far too big usually.

[nofluffybunny]

I'm sure I can find it if I looked. [ The ship was huge, there was still so much for her to see. ] But thanks, I'll give that a go.

[ A frown to her shrug. ]

Too big? You look like you're my size.

[ Aka thin, small. ]

[knaval]

There's signposts and stuff.

I mean, I'm not usually like this? Usually bigger. And more metal. But for some reason I'm a human this week! It's annoying. Human food tastes like garbage.

[nofluffybunny]

Wait, what? How?

[knaval]

Magic? Hell if I know, lady!

...Actually while I've got you, can you explain to me what all this... [he grabs a small lot of hair.] is about?

[nofluffybunny]

But magic doesn't exist. That's sci-fi and fantasy mumbo jumbo.

[ She stares at the hair in the girl's hand. ]

It's...hair? Everyone has it. You can't be serious.

[knaval]

Science or whatever, then.

[riptide just shrugs.]

I don't normally! That's my point! Usually I'm made out of metal and gigantic! Now I'm small and squishy and really confused and apparently I can't drink chocolate milk? I don't even know what that is, but I'm not allowed to drink it!

[nofluffybunny]

You're not allowed...? Are you lactose intolerant? Do you throw it up? Or does it upset your stomach?

[ Chloe is just going to stare. ]

What's so bad about being small and squishy?

[knaval]

Is stomach the part where it goes? Because the latter.

[chloe gets a big huff in return.]

I've been the same person for over three million years and you're surprised I'm upset about it?
