The ice isn't the only thing cracking right now. Spring storms can be violent, and the thunder is strong enough to reverberate in your chest. Outside of the chilly cave, a torrential downpour makes it nearly impossible to leave the cave and get your bearings. However, through the weather, and past the giant things that seem to be moving in the weather, something large looms in the distance.
The rain and the moving things make it hard to be sure, and you can't even see the horizon line, so it's either a very large body of water, some sort of man-made structure off in the distance, or both. Until the storm clears, no one can be sure which it is.
1. Someone, though, their voice just barely echoing off the walls, seems to be coming up with theories. Is it you? Do you think this is a waste of time?
2. Are you trying to go out into the hostile weather, risks be damned? Is it because you don't care? Do you think you can survive it?
3. Being trapped in a cave full of people stuck in pillars of ice is weird, isn't it? Isn't it even weirder that you used to be in one and now you're not? Are you going to help the others trapped in the ice? It should be warned that trying to break someone out when they're not awake to help will shatter the pillar, and the person inside.
4. As the storm clears up, night has fallen. Thunder booms in the distance and the sound of insects and wild animals picks up. Wolves howl in the darkness. Is now the time to make a move, or are you going to stay in this uncomfortable, but untouched, shelter?

She cuts her gaze to whoever spoke and pauses. That is... a very white girl. Whiter than white, even. Was she an albino? That would be a new one for her. She blinks, processing the brief sentence, then frowns. "What do you mean 'not on Earth?' Where else would we be?"
no subject
What a pain.
She points outside, briefly. Then to the pillars. Then makes a ┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘ gesture with her whole body, as if wondering what the fuck is wrong with Rose's eyes that she can't tell the obvious herself, like, hello?!
no subject
Look, she can handle being kidnapped to some godforsaken cave, but being kidnapped to another world? That's the kind of thing that only happens in bad science fiction stories. Right?

White sighs again. "So stubborn."
She shifts, so she's not completely hunching in on herself like a NEET without a computer chair to use as a comfort blanket would anymore but almost sitting like a normal person who is participating in a discussion would, and briefly puts her hand to her face so she can gnaw a bit on one thumb.
And then, with a grunt, leans forward, as one eye opens, revealing a blood red iris with eight bright, shining white pupils, and suddenly there's a whole translucent three-dimensional render of the Milky Way galaxy in the space between them, out of nowhere, from nothing, with a giant red arrow pointing to a single spot on it with the words "THIS IS EARTH" flickering above it. Her eye jerks to the side, and then the galaxy shivers, rotates, and is ... no longer the Milky Way. A new arrow appears, in puce. The words "THIS IS US (probably)" flicker to life above it.
Her eye closes, but the display remains. "Deal with it," she says, leaning back against the cave wall and smiling in that rude sort of way someone does when they know they're right but already expect the other person in the conversation will disbelieve them on principle anyway and thus find said other person the equivalent of a small, yippy dog of some kind, rather than a person with any sense at all.
