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?

Quite. This place did not discriminate in its choices.

...I've seen children younger than me brought here.

[With a heavy sigh.]

Yes, I know.

Whoever caused this is unspeakably cruel.

I won't argue with that. But we have to make the best of it while we're here. Wishing for someone to blame won't get us any closer to finding a way out.

I know that. I was just saying that as an aside.

[She nods slowly, sipping her coffee.]

Been here long dear?

Since the fifteenth of August. Not too long.

Ah, still a bit of a newcomer. Not that anyone of us have really been here so long.

A few months or a few weeks, in the end, aren't too different.

No. It's not.

...I hope we don't stay so long that the differences in time are indistinguishable.

[Another slow nod.]

I can't help but wonder how it will effect our own times if we manage to make it back.

I hope my family doesn't miss me too much... this would be difficult to explain.

Strange things not the norm of your world?

They might be in my world, but not my life.

Oh?

How should I be able to say for certain how my entire world functions without me?

Well I suppose you'll find out when you get back.

I'll ask around, certainly.

I'd love to hear about those findings, but I doubt that would be possible.

If I go home, I would rather not come back. No offense intended.

No offense taken. I doubt you'll find many who'd want to stay.

That would be sad... If this place was the best they could hope for.

It would certainly speak volumes of their home. I hope that I never find that is the case.
