Homer took a few moments to look over the wreckage."You would probably be better off getting a new one." he replied simply.

"Well, that, unfortunately, is something I can't do. See, I was made the deputy of Arkham, and as such this car is part of my office, which means that I need it to fulfill my duty to its inhabitants, and since the portal I came through originated there, this entire place is technically under my jurisdiction, which also means I need my patrol wagon back in action so I can get where I need to go, and that's why I need it fixed. Can you help me?"
"Oh? Well, a smart dame you are. I'll be the last to argue minding one's health." Timea was slightly disappointed that she couldn't have a laugh from convincing someone she knew wouldn't have the same reaction to limestone she herself had, but she could appreciate Jane's response.
"So, what's your name?"
"So, what's your name?"
"I'm...not sure if I can. I'd need some scrap metal, and a welding torch, and..." Homer said, listing off more tools that he would need and didn't have.
"So, you're saying that there's not a chance in hell of my car being fixed anytime soon? Well, I suppose that means I'll just have to deal with things on foot. Shame about my byakee trophies" he nudges one of the dead eldritch abominations with his shoe. "Say, kid, that looks like some sort of military outfit you're wearing, correct? You look awfully young to be of fighting age. What sort of cruel place uses children as fighting men anyway?"
"Well, our country is small, and we're surrounded by big powerful empires, so we need to be as ready as possible." Homer explained.
"I'm Timea." Timea answered, raising her right hand with the palm facing towards Jane in way as a greeting.
Smelling a non-human scent draw closer, Timea looked over her shoulder and saw Speedy licking the wall. Seeing this, she blinked in surprise, then let out a small laugh, looking back to Jane. "See? Delicious. Even the rodents think so", she said jokingly, then thought back on the fisherman saying birds were the most often seen animal around. While she wasn't sure if licking stone was actually normal behaviour to hamsters, all things together made her wonder if the hamster was also from another world.

Jane reached out and grabbed Timmy's hand, shaking it in the usual sort of greeting. "Well I'm just more civilized than both of you I guess." she said, poking fun at the two.
"Sad day when men send children to fight for them. Don't think that'll ever happen in America though. Say, that lady over there" Darrell points at Jane "She's wearing he same outfit. She isn't in your army too is she?"
Grabbing Timea's hand, Jane would find two things; Her hand was incredibly solid, and Timea's arm was unyielding until she went along with the shaking motion, no matter how hard Jane tried to move the arm. In contrast to these things things, when Timea did shake Jane's hand, she did so with a fairly flimsy grip.
"That, or simply not experimental eno--" she began to say, but cut herself off when Speedy spoke. Turning her head to look down to Speedy once more, Timea looked at him with a cocked eyebrow, quite surprised by it, not having heard him speak before. "A... speaking rodent..." she said awkwardly. "Uhh... This is new... ."

"WOMEN AND CHILDREN, of all the loathsome things to do! Kid, let me give you a piece of advice, you just take yourself and that girl, and when you get out of here you take the first boat you can to America, tell them your story, and we'll send fresh men to reinforce your army. War is no place for women or children, and that is just a fact." Darrell says with his infinite 1920's wisdom
"Yeah, it freaks me out too." Jane said as she looked down at Speedy. She didn't seem to notice timmy's solidness.
Homer asked what "America" was.
Homer asked what "America" was.
Shaking her head, Timea refocused her thoughts, though now she was certain that Speedy wasn't native to Kaisir. "Well, no... ", she answered Speedy, half wondering why he would even need fuel, and half wondering why she was asked about it. "I did see a automobile just there, though." she continued, pointing towards Darrell's wreck of a car. "I also saw a motor bike parked in the village. I suggest asking either of those people."
Having said that, Timea brought a hand in front of her mouth as she let out a yawn. "Well, I'll be finding a place to rest for the remainder of the night. I do believe tomorrow will be a busy day", she stated, adressing no one in particular. "Goodnight, you two." With that, Timea walked to the edge of the village, and laid herself down on a patch of grass, taking on the form of a wildcat again in the time she lowered herself. As before, Timea sunk into the ground quite a bit, though not as much as when she would be standing due to the weight being spread out more.
She would glance up at the moon to try and judge the time of night, giving up on it when she found the lunar phase didn't match Earth. Letting out a soft sigh, Timea closed her now-feline eyes.

"You've never heard of the United States of America? It is a country founded upon the basis of a love of freedom and peace, of liberty and equality, of good old fashioned traditional values, and of creativity and opportunity! We're the country all other countries aspire to be, at least that's what the government tells us." Darrell enthusiastically babbles to Homer
