[action;]
[This is definitely not where Sydney is supposed to be at the moment. So, when she looks around and sees that she's in some large room that looks like it could be a ballroom, she quickly hops to her feet.]

What?! I don't really have time for this. [She's trying to mask the annoyance in her voice. If this is someone's idea of a joke, they should know that she doesn't have time to go along with it -- she has things to do.]

[written;]
[She picks up the book that was next to her on the floor and writes a note in it.]

Woke up in a strange place. Not sure how or why.

I thought it was cluck?

Well, farms are cool. I was trained on one.

Or cock-a-doodle-doo. I think I need to work on my chicken impersonation a bit.

Peck also works. Kind of. Better for a woodpecker, though.

So you make animal impersonations for a living?

I'm a writer, actually- I've just become rather fond of saying hello to people that way. I get bored easily.

[dictated]

[socovert]

Understandable. The boredom, that is. At least it's a creative hello!

What kind of topics do you write about?

I am a mystery author. Quite famous back where I come from, though not many people here have heard of me.

I might have, assuming we came from the same place -- which, I can already tell, is an unsafe assumption to make in this place. I spent most of my time in Los Angeles, so I could have seen them around in bookstores, or read some even.

Oh, a familiar place! I come from New York. ... of course, "familiar" does depend on the year you're from, though. Modern day for me is 2012 or so. I'm Richard Castle.
