[Oh, mood. North looks... somehow worse than she did on Saturday, but at least she's not crying this time around. She pauses for a moment, as if debating what to do, before she nods.]
North pauses as they step into the gateway, staring up at the sky in mild surprise. This... isn't quite what she expected to see, and it's evident in her expression.]
... This isn't where the gateway took me the last time. What the hell?
[Emma blinks a few times, too, but - she doesn't quite connect the dots yet. It's hard to bridge the gap between the city she knew and the burnt, destroyed shell of a town they're both looking at. There are scorched debris everywhere, along with shrapnel littering the ground.
[There's a pause and a frown, before she looks back. It's hard to see the wording clearly through the dirt and dust everywhere, but as she glimpses a sign with the words Welcome to Hatchetfield! just barely visible—]
...Oh, no. Shit. North, we have to leave right fucking now.

Wait— What? [Obviously confused. She goes tense, glancing over to Emma.] What's wrong?
no subject
[Especially now that she's hearing the faint strain of music through the air—
She trusts North to follow, so she's zooming back out through the portal. Bye!!]
no subject
SHE'S NOT STAYING ALONE IN HERE? So I guess the roomba is gonna nyoomba right back out the portal. Bye.]
no subject
Whyyyyyyy.
[That's it. That's all she's got.]

She gives her a second or two, but if no explanation is forthcoming—]
You gonna explain what the fuck was that?
