Excuse me.

[The voice over the network is young but rather even toned. Makes her sound more mature.]

This WAP phone has more features than mine. Where can I learn how to use them?

[There are so many kids here, Bruno's got a big concern.]

There's a book that comes with it that explains how to use it. It's pretty handy!

[playtag]

[So many. One day they might outnumber the adults.]

A book will help. I'll look into it.

[She does love to read. She's great at it. Guess Eve is going to be a cellphone expert soon enough.]

[wedonttalkabout]

[And then the Child Uprising can truly begin.]

No problem. So, I take it you're brand new to this place, huh? You settling in okay? Had any issues with the dinosaurs?

[playtag]

..."New."

[She repeats as if the turn of phrase was, in fact, new to her.]

The dinosaurs weren't the problem.

[Her phrasing does seem to indicate there were indeed problems. Ones that someone overshadowed a city full of dinosaurs.]

[Well, at least for her.]

[wedonttalkabout]

New! You know, uh...never been here before? Came from another world?

[God he is nowhere near good enough at peopleing to do this. This was an error.]

Oh good, good. Me either. Mostly because I stayed inside and away from them.

[playtag]

[It's okay, Bruno. Eve is also a bit odd at socializing.]

Someone said I was from a different world. I certainly haven't been in this city before.

So I guess I am new.

[Strange, she thought 'new' meant having been made recently. She'll have to read more on other definitions.]

Staying away was good.

[Fewer people to get hurt. Not that Eve had much choice in hiding, since the rift put her right in the streets.]

[wedonttalkabout]

[Team weirdos honestly!]

Ohhh right yeah, you're definitely new-new then. Hi welcome.

[He says that with the same dryness a tried theme park attendant welcomes you to their terrible run-down theme park. ]

Yeah, that was my plan. Nooooo point in being dinosaur food.

[playtag]

Hello.

[What else is she supposed to say to a greeting. Her voice hasn't left the same neutral tone. (Except maybe when the book was mentioned. Priorities.)]

There were herbivores as well as carnivorous dinosaurs. You might have been trampled instead.

[Perhaps not a reassurance.]

[wedonttalkabout]

[He pauses for a moment, considering this.]

...Well, you got me there. You could also have been gored, I guess? With the ones with the horns?

[He's the BEST at dino identification, obviously. ]

[playtag]

Many dinosaurs had horns or spikes. Do you mean Triceratops?

[She knows there was one there since it was mentioned in the missions given out.]

[wedonttalkabout]

Mmmmmaybe? I don't really know all the names. They definitely had horns- the one I saw in the county fair did, anyway.

[He didn't pay enough attention beyond that, of course.]

[playtag]

That was a triceratops.

[Very helpful, he definitely needed the confirmation.]

[wedonttalkabout]

Welp. Glad to clear that one up.

So begins her reign of awkward silence

[playtag]

...

[Eve thought it was pretty clear from the start.]

[wedonttalkabout]

[WELP! His people skills aren't good enough to deal with this one so:
