Elena had just gotten off work after a very long shift. She'd stepped through the front door of the Gilbert house, exhaustion etched in every inch of her body. She'd been about to toe-heel her shoes off when she noticed she wasn't in ~~Kansas~~ Mystic Falls anymore. She'd lived there nearly her entire life and Mystic Falls, for all its charms, never had a beach, among a few other things she could point out. Exhaustion had been forgotten in favor of figuring out what the hell was going on. At first, she'd thought it was another Mystic Falls thing, or a vampire thing.

It turned out that it was a whole new thing that she'd never even known could exist. The next few days Elena spends researching this place and settling in. She drinks a lot of coffee from the bookstore and gives the clinic a thorough look over, signing up to work there (volunteer? Can it be called work if one isn't being paid or doesn't need to be paid?). She also stops in at the boxing gym and works over the punching bag for a little while, venting her frustration at being here. Finally, she does some shopping around town, ending the day on the beach with a glass of wine.

It's not until several days later that she finally approaches the N E T W O R K with a text message:

This all sounds like good advice. I especially like the positivity of the last one. I'm Elena. I've only been here a few days.

That one’s just a rule of life, I think. But everyone seems to forget it anyway, so it’s a good thing to include.

Name’s James. You adjusting okay? It’s definitely weird. Even as much as is isn’t. I mean, unless you came from a place that doesn’t have the same technology. Then it’s all just a crazy fever dream.

I'm Elena. It's nice to meet you, James. I think so? I'm trying anyway. The technology is similar so that hasn't been a big problem. I'm more stuck on trying to wrap my mind around the wish magic
