Video/Action if near the shop

[Ingrid's sitting in a small coffee shop, hands around a steaming mug. She's looking rather perkier than usual.]

It looks as though I've missed quite a few event this last week or so. I apologize, but it seems you younger folk weren't so bad at taking care of it. Even though two of you were kidnapped. [A pause as she sips her drink.] Are you two alright, by the way? I'd hate to hear two of my potential students are still shaken by the events.

Yes, students. It seems the local high school has given me a teaching position. I'm to take over a few science classes. I do hope to see many of you there. [Her tone implies that's more of an expectation than a hope.]

I'm also a little concerned that they allowed me the job considering my lack of credentials in this world. Have any of the rest of you encountered something like this yet?

I have to agree with that. Though I think someone more suited to the country than myself and most people I know should likely monitor what goes on in the daylight.

Still not used to this place?

Enough to get by, though the usual standards of 'normal' do seem to escape me now and then.

Normal is something of a ridiculous term to be using here, don't you think?

It seems a lot of us here aren't used to a world like this. I wonder if something could be done for that, get everyone up to speed on what the world is like and how to react to it here.

Fair points on all counts. I feel many of us could benefit from something like that--my most current knowledge of technology and the like is from 1994 and limited at best. So I'm a bit behind on what I assume most consider basic.

Ah, technology is not a subject I could offer much help in. Some things about the culture, may be better suited for me. And if needed helping those who aren't used to it get a base education needed for things around here.

It shouldn't be too hard to find someone better verse in technology.

No, I imagine it wouldn't be difficult. Surely out of all of us here there are some that would consider these things ordinary.

I'll keep an eye out for one. Honestly I should start asking the others what they think of this little idea.
