[The scroll comes to life by hastily working arms, and a blonde woman's face comes on the video. She looks like she's been through some shit recently; she has a few soot smears and scratches on her face, her hair's disheveled, she has heavy bags under her eyes and there's a long scar along her right arm, among a few other minor welts.

She might look a little familiar though, with her blonde hair and beat up Iron Maiden shirt. Wait--is that...???]

Hello? Minako? Don? Mister Finevoice? --hell, anybody at this rate. It's Liz! I don't know how I'm back - or how I'm still human - but...listen, how long has it been?

((OOC: Iron Liz has been canon updated! She now has memories up to the end of the RP Kon Ran. She's...been through a lot. I may make a write-up of what went down in this journal or pony!Liz's in the near future, it's hard to summarize. If you have any questions, poke me or Ni, since that was her old game.))

I suppose that depends, Elizabeth. Do you recall the fight against Tezcatlipoca?

[Luna looks a little worse for wear, herself, but that's partially due to pulling another all-weeker thanks to Equestria coming apart at the seams. Sure, it was vaguely amusing at first, but now she's found she can't relax with the world in such a... Discord-like state.]

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

...geez, that was almost two years ago.

[Not that she'd forget it, but it's been the least of her problems of late.]

[Visual]

[noxequus]

Just short of a fortnight.

I take it things were not well back home.

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

. . .

Let's just say that what you all told me about Kon Ran didn't prepare me for it.

[Visual]

[noxequus]

[There is a long silence.]

I did not think you would be the one that experienced it, but another version of yourself. Thus, I did not feel it fair to give you the full account.

I see I was mistaken.

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

[Slight shrug.] Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.

I'm not mad, Princess. I don't think anybody expected it.

Just......

Wow.

[1/?][visual]

[polyturtle]

Thank goodness you're all right, Liz. This is the result of some kind of magic, at least according to...

[2/3][visual]

[polyturtle]

...to...

[Aaand then he notices Liz's scar, and his voice trails off. Its as visible as his own - the chunk of shell missing from the bottom of his shell. True, he'd not gotten scars from his own, more official confinement, but...

He knew that scar. He knew what it came from.]

[3/3][visual]

[polyturtle]

[That...that was impossible...]

Liz?

[visual]

[punsofiron]

[Heh. There's a bit of a shrug at that.]

Heya Don.

[She seems a little more familiar than usual anyway...]

[visual]

[polyturtle]

I...you...

[And then, he wasn't sure what to say. He'd accepted this hadn't been the Liz he knew, at least, he thought he had. Now, he wasn't so sure.]

[visual]

[punsofiron]

I guess we're on the same page now.

[visual]

[polyturtle]

Shell, I...guess we are.

But..you're...you're all right, otherwise, right?

[Visual, Private]

[noxequus]

...did you happen to keep what they...

[She's almost afraid to ask if she still had her shard. Or what it would do to Equestria to have two of them in close proximity, for that matter...]

[visual]

[punsofiron]

Alright as I can be, I guess...

God, it's so weird to be back.

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

You look like you need a shower.

You're welcome to use the one at the castle... but just a heads up, it might get pleasantly crowded.

[Zetta, what part of any of this did you think was appropriate, even for you?]

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

If I still have the house I had here before, I should be fine on that. Thanks though.

[The fact that she's not even offended by this is probably a bad sign.]

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The Overlord lets out a low whistle.]

Someone's been dancing the Trauma Conga Line, huh?

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

What was your first clue?

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

The lack of a witty response, of course! What the hell else would have been? Don't tell me you've had your ability to be a wiseass broken!

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

I hope not, I dunno how I'd survive the real world without it.

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

As much as I hate to admit it, magic pony land is just as real as everywhere else. Even if it's got a much higher proportion of non-ponies to ponies right now.

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

Honestly? That makes me feel better somehow. It's been that kind of year.

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...How the hell long has it been for you?!

[Visual]

[punsofiron]

About a year and a half, I think. Including the three or four months I had at home.
