First Collar - Voice (Traverse Town)

I really hate munny. I thought I hated money at home, but I didn't. Not till I found munny, which is so much worse.

Well, I got the Fuzzballs to make me a collapsible baton, which should help me given the cost of bullets is a little too high for my liking. Just all around I do not like having to rely on a cereal box mascot to get enough munny to make it day to day.

I was never one to complain about my salary at home, but I will never let anyone do it again.

...You know, if I get back.

Oh right, why I turned this stupid Dick Tracy watch on.

My name is Casey Shraeger, I'm a New York City Detective from the year 2009. I don't have advanced technology or magic voodoo powers there, I don't like the voodoo powers, and potions taste worse than the coffee my partner makes at his diner.

And I'm so looking forward to getting to know all of you. *BATHE IN THE SARCASM!*

Greetings, Detective Shraeger. I am Ienzo, and I run the tea shop in Traverse Town. I hope that your stay gets better. If you're seeking a replacement source of coffee, we do offer coffee in addition to tea.

[He won't dignify her denigrating magic with a response.]

Coffee is a very good start to making this place better.

*But not enough to make this place home. It is not New York City*

I can send an attachment that will show you the location of the tea shop. I hope that it will make your experiences here more pleasant, though I do agree that all of us would rather be home.

[Ienzo sends along a marked map, with the added instructions to go down the left hand stairs if Shraeger is coming from the fountain plaza; the right hand ones have nightmares all over.]

You will have a repeat customer just for the caffeine.

A lot of people feel the same way.

[Either about coffee or tea. It's rather pleasant to be making people happy, even if it is a business.]

Pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Aeleus. However, I'm afraid potions aren't made to taste particularly good.

I wouldn't think they were, it's just another thing on the long list of why I don't like here.

The taste alone is enough to be a significant inconvenience?

Not really.

It's simply the oddity of this place, then?

2009, hmmm?

Hi Casey. My name is Ziva David, from Washington DC in 2012... I work with NCIS there. No powers, no technology, just guns and training... and my cereal box mascots.

[A pause]

Do you think they would be willing to make another of those batons? [You have her interest.]

How many new iPhones have come out? Morbid curiosity.

Thank God, someone normal. ...Well, as close to normal as you get working in D.C. I'm sure everyone here is very nice, but... you get it right?

*The oh why is there magic and people just blindly accept it thing.*

Probably, the fuzzball wanted me to buy a sword but that felt a bit to Joan of Arc for me. I didn't need to threaten him with my gun to get him to do it, so it shouldn't be too hard to get another one made.

...I have no idea what metal it's made out of, and I really don't want to ask.

I think we are on number 4...and they have plans for another.

[There's a chuckle.] Oh, I understand. I definitely understand. [She'd like to avoid big magic anymore, if possible.] But, as you will probably see, there is plenty more you will need to get used to here.

Hmmm. I think I may have to ask one of them about another.

That just figures. I would ask why, but I remember shiny objects work on most people.

How long have you been here anyway?

Seems more functional than a sword. Or a shield, why was the Moogle pushing a shield like it's a real weapon?

Or people like a friend of mine, who enjoys taking them apart.

I have been here...a couple of months, maybe? I have lost track of time, it seems.

[Cue Ziva pausing as she remembers watching Even fight with a shield.] Actually, you may be surprised... I have seen someone fight with one.

I am Princess Luna, of the kingdom of Equestria. Well met, Detective Shraeger.

..................

*Give her a moment.*

..................

*...Okay, more than a moment.*

...Please tell me this is some hazing thing, mess with the new girl?

[...okay, now give her a moment.]

Hazing? We hath released no haze...

*She was really hoping for it to be some prank.*

...Nevermind.

We can summon some fair amount of fog, if thou likest...?

Good to know your phone manners are just as good as your face-to-face ones.

[Oh, are we trading in sarcasm now? Bring it.]

I don't think our meeting counts as face-to-face.

*Walked into that.*
