WHAT THE FUCK WHERE IS SHE

On a rooftop of a decrepit building, windows shattered. It's hard to tell where in the city she is exactly given the white fog that seems omnipresent.

...what the hell is she wearing, is that a skirt? Why do her hands look like that - is this Brockton Bay, are there any landmarks above the fog -

That might be the right skyline, if fog had crept up and over all the buildings.

But it's not raining. So the Leviathan fight is over. Which kind of prompts the question of how she could be alive but also abandoned on a rooftop without any of her gear. She shifts her weight and - stumbles - does she not even have her implants anymore??

Okay, what does she have. The skirt at least has pockets.

She has a pack of spearmint bubblegum, a wallet, and a pocket knife.

The wallet contains Nikki Carter's learners permit.

Who is Nikki Carter and why is she wearing her clothes.

Is there anything useful to be had on the roof if she gets on her hands and knees out of an abundance of caution and searches it.

There's quite a bit of shattered glass on the ground! She can see far enough that she doesn't need to get on her hands and knees though - not much of use on the roof. A fire escape if she wants to go down that way, a door to get back into the building if she wants to go down a different way.

If she opens the door is there any clue what kind of building she's on?

A building filled with fog! And apartments, if she looks further down the stairwell. She can hear the sound of someone crying and someone else screaming inside.

Okay, well, there's nothing to be accomplished here on this roof, there's plenty of fog up there too, and somebody seems like they're in trouble. She goes down the stairs.

Her proprioception informs her that the patch of roof she was standing on earlier is still in the same place! And it is whole and undamaged!

Excuse her?

The patch of roof, it is okay! It is an okay patch of roof.

Okay she's going to go back up the stairs to the okay patch of roof and further investigate this phenomenon.

She gets closer to the patch of roof as she approaches it - a fact that is very apparent to her. She feels oddly ... centered when she stands on it, like all of her body is in one place. And somehow all of her being in one place isn't a default aspect of her body anymore.

Did she... have a second trigger... or... Butcher into poor Nikki Carter's body... or... what...

- okay, no, simple test for this. If she wanted to do that update to her bot's algorithm for blocking advertisements she'd been postponing -

She has no idea how to do that. What if instead she continued being this patch of roof.

What the shit.

Can she be... any... other... patches of roof.

Sure, though it takes a couple of seconds to switch to a different patch of roof and there's a bit of a gap where she's no patches of roof at all. It feels odd, being no patches of roof.

IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL ODD BEING NO PATCHES OF ROOF.

If she goes all the way to the opposite end of the roof from her patch does that do anything.

Nope, the feeling of being this new patch of roof (which is whole and unharmed) remains steady.

...kay. She's gonna go down the stairs away from her patch of roof now.

Then she will eventually approach a woman screaming at a man to get away and a man cowering and shaking and attempting to lash out if the woman gets to close.

Why are these people in the same room if they do not want to interact.
