One moment Jane is sitting at the kitchen table sipping her coffee and leafing through her notebook, and the next she's standing in the middle of a forest clearing. Instead of her flannel pajamas she is clad in a simple white dress and her feet are bare. Her notebook, the summary of her life's work, is nowhere to be seen. At her feet, though, is a notebook-looking thing with her name on the front. She picks it up and opens it, then sits down where she is to read.
Later, still in the woods but feeling more acclimated to where she is and the new wings on her back, she decides to give the communications function a try. She writes a short message that reads
"Hello, my name is Jane Foster, and I've just arrived. I am in the forest and I can't tell which direction to go to get out. Could someone help me out? Thanks!"

Date: 2014-05-08 05:43 am (UTC)Peggy, I suppose, unless someone who doesn't know is around. He and I aren't advertising what has happened to us since it only just began today.
[And BOY IS IT AWKWARD.]
Action
Date: 2014-05-09 07:53 pm (UTC)[Jane has all sorts of questions about what it's like to be a man instead of a woman, but they all feel inappropriate to ask of someone she just met. She's damn curious though.]
So... what's it like? I mean, is it easier than being a woman?
Action
Date: 2014-05-10 11:31 am (UTC)[She can understand the curiosity, but they're approaching the village now and it isn't exactly something she wants to discuss. Peggy jogs through the town until they make it to a shop, when she pauses in front of it.]
It isn't much here, but everything is free at least.
Action
Date: 2014-05-11 08:36 pm (UTC)[She eases herself out of PeggySteve's arms and back down to the ground.]
I'll wash these clothes and get them back to you, I promise.
Action
Date: 2014-05-12 03:29 am (UTC)Perhaps you'll be able to actually meet Steve, seeing how you seemed rather taken by the possibility.
Action
Date: 2014-05-12 04:59 pm (UTC)[Jane stands awkwardly for a moment, a crooked grin on her face. The prospect of Peggy leaving her on her own is one that Jane finds she doesn't want to think about.]
Do you mind hanging around? Maybe you could tell me more about this place while I look for clothes?
Action
Date: 2014-05-16 03:04 pm (UTC)Still, she couldn't just leave Jane on her own.
After a moment of deliberation, she nodded.]
Yes, alright. If you have your journal, I can access the guide and mark important passages for you.
Action
Date: 2014-05-19 03:10 pm (UTC)I'm sorry, if you have somewhere you have to be, I can manage on my own. I'd just... rather not.
Action
Date: 2014-05-20 10:45 am (UTC)[Peggy flicks through the pages until she finds The Guide and bookmarks a few useful passages for Jane as they enter the store.]
You can use the journal to communicate, as you've discovered, via video feed, voice or written form. It's quite handy, but be careful of where you leave it as it has a tendency to turn itself on and any communication via its airwaves can be picked up and read by the Malnosso, our captors.
[She hands the journal back.]
Action
Date: 2014-05-20 08:11 pm (UTC)They use them to spy on us?
[And yet she was dependent on the thing, especially at the beginning, when she had no idea where anything was. Very clever, that was.]
