[They're in the theater. Camille is stretching one of the unused balloons between her fingers. Weird. She's never given thought to how old party technology might be, but the lack of plumbing and electricity leaves her mildly surprised to find real rubber wonders tucked away in here.]
Well, we made it through the night. Think we should celebrate?

[again, suspicious]
Yeah, it'd be a crappy party anyway. [Camille stretches the balloon and lets it shoot to the back of the stage. It hits the wall with a rubbery whap and falls limp to the floor.]
Still. We can't hammer at dead ends forever. Depending on how long we're stuck here, eventually we'll have to have a little fun.

[Jesus.]
You're a funny kid. [Not a dig, but the minute it leaves her mouth she fears it'll be taken that way. Camille smiles and posts up in a lean against the nearest seat, arms crossed and hands winding into her sweater.] I'm not looking for a good time right away either, don't worry. You're not the only one with their eye on the ball.
Have you found anything interesting so far?

Bummer. Same here.
[She clucks her tongue.]
Answer something for me though.

Has something like this happened to you before?
You might want to work on your poker face.
[And response time. Camille eases off though, holding up a hand in peace.]
If you don't want to give me the details, I probably don't need them. If you know something that helps though...any dots connecting between then and now? Could be useful.

Midnight? When you fall asleep?
[It's the only time she's made reference to, so.]
I guess most kidnappings overlap in the broad strokes. How about the occult angle? Absentee captors, anything like that?

... Yeah.
[ anyway, ]
I... can't say there's no occult angle, but it doesn't match this place at all. And the rest was all even more different, so. [ she sighs and shakes her head, as if it would have been kind of a relief if it WAS connected. at least then she'd understand it better. ]

Did they gas you?
[Maybe she shouldn't push the kid. She can ease off in a second, let her tell her truths on her own terms. Still, there's so much unanswered here, and this is the only straw she's found to grasp at.]
Okay. I mean, it's a weird coincidence if there's no connection at all, but it's a big wide world out there.
How'd you get out?

What the fuck.
[GURL.]
Okay. Really enterprising cultists, these are. Good to know. How hard would it have been to get to where you were?

So they're studying something.
[Which is doubly disturbing, now that she knows how wild the universe can be. There's plenty of people who are outwardly supernatural here. What about hidden traits? Like kids in Stephen King books, moving shit wit their minds and starting fires?]
