[Scout speaks briskly. She's familiar with networks, at least the voice-only kind, but always feels awkward trying to start a conversation like this.]

I was assigned 'Warlock' by... whatever assigned these things for us. I know a lot about what that meant on another world, less about what it means here. Hopefully here - I mean, I don't like being bound to something without knowing much about it.

[She coughs. Moving on.] So I've had a very vivid dream about what I assume is my patron here. She's some kind of fae, and... really excited about the other fae I've had experience with. Is this happening to anyone else?

[How warlocks know about their patrons and exactly what the patrons are like is up to players! One possibility is they're contacted in dreams.]

I guess Scout is a nickname then? How'd you get it?

[stillwinningthehardway]

Oh, well - when I was a kid, I was a little faster at reading situations than anyone else. That doesn't seem to be working, here, but I've had this nickname too long to just change it.

[bluechampion]

You probably just have to get used to this place. Well, I guess if it's a lot different from where you're from. There's a lot for me to get used to.

[stillwinningthehardway]

It's also that sometimes, powers or abilities don't work in certain realities. And that's... kind of annoying really.

I'm sure. Is anything in particular weird?

[She thinks 'what's your world like' is a silly question, many worlds aren't so simply summed up.]

[bluechampion]

So...you've been to other realities then? Other than where you're from and this place?

[How many people here go world-hopping on a regular basis? Scout wasn't the only person Link had met to do that if that's what she was implying.]

Everything. This bracelet thing we're talking through, the lights that work with a switch in the wall and don't need fire, the training modules at the dojo that make it look like there's stuff around you when there really isn't, and automated machines that don't want to kill you...

I could go on all day. Hyrule has nothing like this.
