She had heard the word "homunculus" before, sometime in college either in one of her World Religion or Literature classes.  From what she remembered, in the lore of her world, they were small men who were made from clay and given life by their creators through magic or something like it.  Nothing so intricate or alive as Emlyn's servant.  She wondered if this sort of thing was common practice here, since Emlyn had already stated she and the others he had captured were his property.  It was a wonder she could even understand him.  As they continued to speak, that odd sense that this was not all as it seemed, both within her and around her, continued to pull at her.<br/><br/>"I was on a trip, visiting a new city, and then I was...Here.  I don't really understand how any of it is possible.  This place, it feels a lot like my world and yet so vastly different."  She said, trying to ensure he believed her.  She was almost certain the cultists were not about to be met with a kind fate and she had no desire to join them. "We have cars, buses, planes.  Err, vehicles that travel both on land and in the sky, powered by gasoline, electricity and motors.  We have no issue moving about, but I would say this is more comfortable than most could afford in my...world."  It was an odd thing, speaking with him like this.  It nearly felt casual, but something in the back of her mind still pushed her exercise caution.  Things were not always what they seemed, and this world could be so much different than her own.<br/><br/>Her mind went back to the idea of being a conduit.  She felt almost certain that she was not one, but she also felt as if new senses were alive and pushing their way to the surface of her mind, now that she was here.  "Is that how the world here is, though?  People make other people and use other people?"  The thought sent a shiver down her spine, and before he could answer she tried to change the subject.  Perhaps she did not want to know what this world was like.  It might be better just to hope she could leave it soon and return home.<br/><br/>"You said you would help me get back to where I come from.  I don't know why their spell pulled me through, but I think it may be best I return sooner rather than later, if the state of things is how you say.  I don't--I don't want to be burned out or used up."
