"very well miss." he said, leaving the room.

"I'm sorry, I was drifting a bit. Just trying to take everything in, you know?"
Zoe pushed the other thoughts and questions she had to the back of her mind. Right now she needed to figure out what they were going to be doing next. How were they going to live after this? She needed to be caught up with the world. She needed to know about her new...self she guessed would be the best way to put it.

"Same here. At least you look like them. I seem to be the missfit here, all lizard bird looking. But we will figure it out. It looks like we are both new to this, so maybe we should stick together. You will need to feed me crackers and seeds, and ask if Pauly wants a cracker, and clean my nasty cage out once in a while, haha."
Looks at the others.
"It will be difficult to adapt, but I am sure, since we don't have a choice, we will have to adapt. I am talking months or even a year, or less, I hope. The tech and culture, I mean. Will you give us a detailed description of today's society, and explain what happened between the 80's and now ? That will help us so much, just knowing the basic major world events."

(I'll give you guys the web address to a timeline I found. ignore everything from after January 9th, as we will work from then.)
"I have 2 hand held computer devices for you. they contain relevant documents and information from the 1980's to the present time. not only will this answer many of your questions, It will also aid you in learning a bit about today's technology."
he got up, finishing his coffee. "now If you will excuse me, I have to finish working on some important projects. I'm sure Mach, Gren and Hanzer will be more than happy to assist you."
Dorian came in with Zoe's coffee, and 2 hand held computer devices, about half the length and width of an A4 page, and about 3/4 centimeters thick. "I apologise for these old things, however I thought It would be best to start small. In time I will set you up with your own commlinks."

"Look Zoe. They got those flat unlimited paper pads like in those 'What tomorrow will be like' TV shows. Not that I watch TV, just something I remember from passing a shop. Say, how come I remember that but not my name ?"

"Oh wow. So this is like a computer? I only used them in my computer class at school. And it was way bigger than this! Almost looks like I'd break it."
Zoe took the item and the coffee, thanking the man for both as she looked it over. She say the coffee down to cool while she turned the device over in her hands, marveling at it.
"Now I know what the Amish must feel like. We're like cavemen to you aren't we?"

"How durable are they ?" Looks at the device, taps it, lightly applies pressure as if to slightly bend it, but not enough to break it. "Zoe, I am so gonna break this accidentally. But it is rad huh ?"

"You'll have your work cut out for you." they turned to gren, who was grinning. "If your just going to use your hands its will be very difficult. even hanzer here would find it difficult." hanzer sat down between Zoe and the other. "lets get started."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several hours later, gren and mach had already left, and hanzer, zoe and the other were getting tired. dorian came in. "If you will follow me I will show you to your rooms."

Zoe's brain felt like it was going to start dribbling out of her ears. So much had happened. So many strange and terrifying things. Her mind was still wrapping around the piece of technology in her hands. She could look up nearly anything on it almost instantly. And t went anywhere. This was just so much.
"I don't know if I'm more tired or just burnt out from this. It's a lot to take in. I think a good nights sleep and a fresh start in the morning would really help."

"Yea. I made it to 2017, and saw I just scratched the surface. The presidents getting Kennedied, yanked like mob days. Not cool. I wonder if they got phasers like Star Trek. Make unwanteds totally vanish. Blasted away. And the political stuff, corporations, earthquakes and things, viruses, riots, in the future we missed. Man it is confusing, and genetic mutations, to make humans change. And I had to turn into whatever I am ? I want to be like an elf looking thing, y'all look better than lizard birds."

"I got a little past that, not much though. I think I got to the corporations going at it, and that was about it before I couldn't take anything else."
Zoe saw their rooms, and looked up at Gren, still taking in that he was something she had read about in fairy tales. And they never portrayed the trolls in a good light. But this one, had saved her. She didn't know what to do, so when they got to their rooms she simply hugged him, wrapping her slender arms around the man's middle as much as she could. She buried her face in his stomach and simply mumbled her thanks.

(sorry for the delay, I only just woke up. think large room size, wood panelling, ceiling lights and very comfy king sized beds.)
"I apologise for the rooms emptiness besides the beds, but besides myself and Master Alexander the mansion is usually empty. dorian said. besides that the rooms were clean, free of dust.
Gren froze for an instant, before going down on one knee and gently hugged Zoe back. "Your welcome." he rumbled, smiling.
Hanzer chuckled, "looks like you made a new friend Gren."

Zoe stepped away and gave the large woman a hug as well, her arms still not reaching all the way around. She hoped most of the metahumans she met weren't as large. She already felt like a small child around them.
"You're not getting out of a hug either. If it weren't for you and your friends, we would have died in there. Just another skeleton. This world is scary, but at least we're alive."
She looked in the room when Dorian opened it, and gaped in amazement. It was larger than any room she had ever stayed in, and place she had ever been put up in. She stepped in, almost expecting to be told that it wasn't for her, and she looked back at the others before completely going in, running her hand on the soft bedding. This was like a dream come true.
"I've always wanted a big bed. And a room I didn't have to share."

"Haha, I think you might be too young for her." Humorously spoken, yet is technically a fact. Physically, might be a different story. Come to think of it, it would be interesting to have gone back in time to experience historical culture for real. In a way, we are historical relics in perfect, well, besides our alteration, our minds are still from the 1980's. I doubt anyone from the 80's are still alive. Then again, who knows.
