[ The video pops on a to a somewhat frazzled looking woman. She frowns down at the... pillow... in her hands, but then she pouts in a way that doesn't look at all her own age. ]

Nice video function anyways...

[ She straightens up a bit, and the camera moves enough to show that she's surrounded by a lot of other pillows. ]

So I guess this might be some kind of stress-induced hallucination, and I'm in some kind of mental health facility, but I'm feeling a lot more lucid now, and if we could talk about getting me treated a little faster I'd... like that a lot.

[ Her voice is steely, but it's a forced resolve. ]

And let me talk to my family.

Thank you. I hope we can all get back to what we need to get back to.

You and me both. I was in the middle of a really important quest.

A quest? That does sound pretty important.

Important enough that my people's survival depends on it.

[drinkingmama]

Then it is important.

Maybe I'll focus on helping people like you get back first.

I appreciate it, but...

You've got a family waiting for you. Isn't that right?

Three... no, I guess if my daughter's really here, then two people, and my husband is the sort of guy who can take care of things if he has to. [ She shakes her head. ]

Then again, maybe I just want to seem selfless.

We can help each other out. How's that sound?

It sounds like a good plan.
