Hey! You must be new to our merry little band of misfits down here. I'm Dr. Valentino but you can just call me Amy, that works too.

[Zee's face is entirely blank, devoid of all emotions. Blue eyes flicker as her arms dangle.

Amy is not a recognized designation.]

Where am I?

New York City. What's left of it, in any case. Underneath the city, if you want to get more specific about it.

[Maya turns around the corner and spots someone she doesn't recognize. Immediately, she stops and cocks her gun.]

You there, stop. Who are you and what are you doing down here? You come through the Bridge?

What? [Dean whirls around and faces the source of the voice. Awesome. He lifts his hands in the universal please-don't-kill-me gesture.]

Lady, I don't know what you're talking about. One minute I was working on my car and the next minute I'm being mugged by a bright light. Sure would love an explanation...

[She lowers her gun and sighs. Really, explaining all of this crap wasn't her job. That fell on Seamus and Valentino. But. She'll do her best.]

Bridge. Locks onto your brainwave signature and pulls you into this world. That's the short of it. So, welcome to the apocalypse. Don't go up to the surface unless you want to die and if you've got a cellphone in your pocket, it's in your best interest to ditch it.

[If his brother was here, he'd have something to say about the sort of people who'd find Dean's brainwaves appealing. Fortunately, Sam isn't here. Dean frowns as he pulls the cell phone from his pocket.]

What's wrong with my phone?

The fact it works. If you wanna stay you, get rid of it. If you keep it, Rossum will hack it and broadcast their signal through it. If you get hit by it, everything in your head that makes you you will be gone. Your personality, your memories, your hopes and dreams, all the stuff you're good at, all gone. And you'll either be killing everything in sight or standing there asking if you fell asleep.

[It's not in his nature to trust the word of strangers, but she seems very convinced of what she's saying. And it's not like he doesn't change cell phones regularly. He pops the back open to remove the battery and the SIM card.]

Alright, fine. I'll ditch the phone. Now what?

We're gonna go find Seamus. He's sort of the leader of the survivors down here. He's gonna need to know another has arrived through the Bridge. Follow me.

[She waves with her hand for him to come with as she turns around and starts walking back down the hall.]

But in the meantime, an introduction will do. I'm Maya. A lot of the people around here call me Bastet, though. Either or, I don't really have a preference.

[Dean follows her down the hall, taking it all in. He doesn't know if he's going to have to find his way back or not and he'd rather not get lost.]

Okay, Maya. I'm Dean and I'd really kind of like to get home to my family, so... can this Seamus dude make that happen?

He ain't a miracle worker. If he was, this whole apocalypse thing would've been fixed already. You're stuck here, for now. But you never know, your family might wind up here too.

That's not comforting. [The last thing he wants is his dad here. Or even worse, Sam. Better they're somewhere safe.]

It's not really supposed to be. [She shrugs.]

The best you can hope for now is to survive. Help us fix our world and if we get that far, I'm sure there'll be plenty of time for the geniuses to tinker with a way to send you home.

Awesome. [He grits his teeth and tries to keep from saying anything else. Nothing that comes out of his mouth right now is going to be polite and she's the one with the gun.]

[Maya leads him down a big further and spots Seamus. She doesn't bother with saying hello.]

Weren't you supposed to be watching the Bridge today, genius?

[Seamus looks at them and sighs.]

No. Asha was.

[Maya crosses her arms and turns to leave.]

Well, she isn't. I bet she's off shooting rats for fun again. Should look into that.

[Once she's gone, Seamus addresses Dean.]

Sorry about her. Bastet can be...a pain in the ass sometimes. How much did she tell you about this place?

[When Seamus spots Tiffany, he instantly recognizes her as one of the new arrivals and decides to strike up conversation. Talking to her will undoubtedly beat running into Asha and ending up in an argument over something stupid like the best way to rewire the mesolimbic pathway for increased dopamine intake. Like it was even relevant anymore.]

Hey, Tiffany, right? I just wanted to ask how you were doing. If you were starting to settle in, all that stuff.

I am as settled as I can be. Your earth here, it's buried deep. Under false stone and sand. [She can't feel the Chalk. She can't feel any life, for miles, under her booted feet. This sits poorly with her.] It is no wonder this place needs-- [a witch, she doesn't say. People look at her funny when she does.]

[Seamus eyes her carefully. She's a peculiar girl, that's for certain. He smiles and restrains a small chuckle.]

I'm sure whatever you're thinking, yeah, this place needs it. This place needs everything these days.

Oh!

[Wyatt looks up from what he was doing, startled. His fingers twitch as he pulls his sleeves over his hands.]

I-I'm sorry, I, I didn't see you there. I was working. Sort of. Nothing...all too important. Feel free to distract me, I don't mind.

"Gilbert Beilschmidt~"

[The white-haired male isn't entirely sure where that name had come from, but he has a feeling it's his. Offering a disarming grin, he extends his hand for a handshake, trying to figure out if he'd ever met this guy before. His own accent is definitely strongly German, though he's speaking English perfectly fluently.]

"What're you workin' on? Nah, wait, hold on. Where'm I at? Yeah, answer that one first."

[And he hasn't noticed yet, but there's a small yellow chick perched contentedly atop his head, nestled in his white hair.]

I'm, I'm quite surprised that, that Dr. Valentino didn't explain all of that, maybe she's been, been busy, yes. Busy lady, Dr. Valentino.

I'm Wyatt, though. And right now, you're in an underground compound underneath New York. What's left of New York. Since...the apocalypse. That kind of messed things up a bit. A lot. Messed things up on a gargantuan fault and--

[He looks around, paranoid]

It's our fault. Should've seen it coming. Should. But didn't.

Valentino...

[He rolls that name around in his mouth too, but again, nothing familiar. Eh, it'll come in time~ Shrugging, he slaps another grin on his face and continues,]

You mean the hot chick? She was talkin' to someone, so figured I'd come say hi to you since you're small'nd super-cute~ 'Sides, looked like you were--

[A pause, as Prussia takes a moment to just stare, trying to piece together what the other man had just said, slipping into a bit of a confused German.]

Whoa, back that shit up, what're you sayin' about... was?
