Veronica had to get out. Finally settling into the apartment, Veronica spent most of her time thinking of the future.
Suddenly, she didn't want to leave just yet. With Johnny, and learning of her past with the Priestess, Veronica felt strangely at home. It was an unnerving notion.
She turned away from her books and went out.
There was something she hadn't had in awhile... A cup of coffee. She remembered going out every afternoon and into that little coffee shop that stood across her old apartment. If she didn't have anything to do, she'd curl up with a good book and spend her nights there... What an escape...
Veronica hurried inside the convenient store and scouted the isle for coffee. Ground or instant, it didn't matter.

I'm soo hungry Lain thought to herself as she searched the shelves for anything that appeared even slightly appetizing. "Human food sucks!" she groaned shaking her head violently. I'll just go wait for Ryker at the entrance, all this gunk is doing my head in. Taking a deep breath she spun around, lost her balance and staggered into the shelving, knocking down various jars of odd substances. "Dammit!!" she yelped collapsing to the ground. "For God's sake Lane!" roared Ryker as he turned the corner and screeched to a halt in front of her. "Are you alright?" he asked, concern in his eyes. "Sorry.. kind of, but there's chunks of glass in my leg." She pouted as she positioned her leg in front of her as she attempted to remove the shards. Ryker knelt down beside her and watched the blood trickle down her leg. "Stupid glass shel.." "Lain... we have company.." Ryker whispered Lain shut her eyes and began to sniff. "Its a human!" she whispered, trying so hard to contain her excitement. Her face lit up as an idea sprang into her head. "LETS GO TALK TO IT!!!" she shouted. Ryker slammed his hand over her mouth. "Listen to me lain, we have no idea who this person is. For all we know it may be trying to kill us so can you please try to be quiet? I'm going to check it out okay? so stay here." he snarled under his breath. Removing his hand he slowly made his way to the end of the aisle and peered out.

DeAnne walked the streets pretty bored. There was no one really in sight. She just kept walking.

Veronica reached for the pack of instant coffee when she suddenly heard the sound of chatter. She turned towards the sound and murmured, "I guess I am not alone.". Veronica took the pack of instant coffee and the powdered creamer before making her way down the isle, asking, "Who's here?"

DeAnne heard a voice of a woman and turned around to the direction of the voice.

"Oh! its a lady human Ryker!" Lain beamed "HI HUMAN!!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs. "Goddammit Lane." Ryker hissed, returning to her side. "Well, if she kills you thats your fault." Pulling Lanes leg towards him he began to help her remove the glass.

DeAnne chuckled as she walked, she heard the chatter a mile a way and boy they seem like some creatures.

Veronica approached the two with a smile. "There's something awfully queer about these new residents", she said to herself. Veronica drew her hands towards them and said, "Hello, I'm Veronica."

DeAnne had arrived at the scene. She saw a human with two other creatures.
"Hello loves, I am DeAnne," she said, smirking. Her voice could make a child fall asleep in an instant. It was that mellifluous.
She knew that these people were no threat to her so she put her katana away.

"Hi DeAnne! Hi Veronica!" Lane couldn't stop smiling. "I'm Lane and this is Ryker." Ryker stared up at the two females, rolled his eyes and continued to remove the shards.
Lane glared at him. Don't be such a jerk! they don't have to be nice to us so please be civil... pleaded Lane.
I bet they think you're a freak, stop acting like a 3 year old Ryker shot back.
Lane looked up at the two women with a pained expression.
"Can you help us? we don't know where we are.."

Veronica smiled at their presence. "Of course, its actually a bit of an unofficial job of mine. You are in Animus City. A place cut off from the rest of the world."

DeAnne could not help but chuckle.
"You both are some couple--is it a I love you, I hate you, thing?" DeAnne teased.
"What do you know about this place, Veronica?"DeAnne asked.

Ryker removed the last shard and threw it over his shoulder. "All gone." he said quietly. Lain nodded, lifted her hand and placed it over the wound. She watched the pink glow surround it, smiling she pulled herself up.
"Its more of a"What did i do to deserve this?" kind of thing." Ryker sneered
Ignoring Ryker, Lain turned to Veronica. "Okay.. so is it like a different dimension or something? can we get back? If we cant what should we do?"

"I understand," DeAnne said, empathizing with Ryker.
"Trust me, I tried mostly everything in my power to go to another dimension. Nothing works--we are stuck here. The best thing we can do is to survive," DeAnne said.

Lain nodded. Ryker smiled at DeAnne and approached her. He held out his hand. "Hey, I'm Ryker." well at least Ryker has made a friend.. Lain thought dismally.
"Well what do you suppose we do in the meantime?" Ryker said thinking out loud.
