Wow that is so far off.

"Uh, I think you are definitely concussed? I am not sure how to help with that from over here. Maybe you should lie down or something?"

Permalink

"Yeah, okay, I will lie down," with the bad arm facing up, "but could you maybe explain more about dungeons and it not being 2004, I don't obviously have ongoing short term memory problems."

Permalink

"You're off by a bit over two decades and dungeons are the pocket dimensions that kidnap people until espers or the military rescue them."

Permalink

 

"Well, I know what a military is."

Permalink

"Pocket dimensions are places that exist outside of normal space, I think? Espers are the people with powers."

Permalink

"Oh. For... some reason... I thought those were called 'capes'."

Permalink

"Well, that wouldn't be the weirdest name but no, they're espers."

Permalink

"Okay. How long do we wait for espers or the military to come save us, about?"

Permalink

"This one seems rougher, so hopefully only an hour or two?"

Permalink

"...okay."

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Does she still have a power at all -

Permalink

Well, did she previously feel like she could push herself along an axis entirely distinct from the three typical spatial ones?

Permalink

No, she previously felt like maybe she could make a robot do that, but since she doesn't have any robots here -

- push?

Permalink

She pushes not up, but something else entirely, and then she is floating in a dark void with an almost complete absence of sensory input of any kind, except for the feeling of being able to push.

Permalink

Aaaaah back whence she came??

Permalink

A push in the opposite direction and she's back! Her neighbor evidently too engrossed with a phone game to notice Lorica was gone.

Permalink

Can she... go the other direction? Since she doesn't seem to have suffocated or anything in her excursion?

Permalink

Yep! This time instead of a void she gets a sidewalk outside an apartment building! It's a bit chilly and drizzly and there's a cluster of what might be police officers along with multiple ambulances.

Permalink

 

 

"Excuse me, officer, I'm very lost and confused, I might have hit my head."

Permalink

"We're setting up for dungeon rescues but I suppose we won't get the first for at least a few minutes," she can be sent over to a medic. 

Permalink

...yeah she does also need a medic, this arm is pretty fucked up.

Permalink

The medic can start getting her arm into a splint.

"You said you might have hit your head as well?"

Permalink

"My head doesn't hurt but also last I remember knowing what was going on it was 2004 and dungeons weren't a thing, so, maybe."

Permalink

The medic can do concussion checks that are more accurate than just asking if she can remember things.

"Well, I don't think you're concussed."

Permalink

"I guess that's sort of a relief and also sort of more worrying than thinking I just hit my head. I... was in the dungeon? But I got out."

Permalink

"Huh, I still wouldn't expect that to result in memory loss. I can ask about resources for you and get back to you once the dungeon's been cleared?"
