[Lilo yawns, a big yawn. But it stops short.]

...huh, wha? 

[This isn't where she went to bed. This isn't her room. Where's Scrump? Where's the smell of her sister's coffee, the picture she keeps under her pillow? Out of the bed she goes, still in her mint-colored sleeping gown.]

...Where am I? 

This isn't my house!

[A groan.] 

This doesn't look too much like an alien spaceship... I don't think that they took me from earth...

Then what's going on here?!

A PIRATE SHIP? Being a pirate would be really cool! A maelstrom?
I hope I get to be a pirate when I'm here. Or, at least, something equally as cool.

Well, stuff like that tends to happen every couple months or so, so ... you probably will! ... But scary stuff happens sometimes, too, so. Just be careful, okay? If you feel like you might be in trouble, just let somebody know. I can show you how filters work, if you want... those're good for that kind of thing.

[Nods] I'll be careful! Promise! I'll tell someone if I think I'm in trouble or something like that. Okay, sure!

Good. There're a whole bunch'a people here who look out for kids, so don't hesitate to ask for help f'you need it.

Filters are really easy - you just either tell the journal you want one, or write it in, like this:

Now only you can hear what I'm sayin' or see what I'm writing. Once you're done sayin' private stuff, you just close it like so:

And now everyone can hear us, again. It works with nicknames and general stuff, too, like "That person I met in the library last night"... which is useful if you're not good with names.

Hey, I'm not a kid! I can take care of myself.
Okay! That's not too bad... I think I can do that.

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can just fine... but just in case, yeah? [he laughs a little] Have you talked to a girl named Coraline yet? She's a friend of mine, I bet you'd get along.

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Coraline? [shakes head] No! I'll keep a look out for her though!

[In RL, that's my bestie. <3]

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

She's pretty hard to miss... her hair is a really neat shade of blue!

[rockthehula.livejournal.com]

Blue hair?! {laughs] That sounds cool! Okay! If I see her, I'll talk to her! It's a promise.

[ectobabble.livejournal.com]

Cool. Have fun explorin', yeah? Hopefully I'll see ya around. I'm in the Satis tower, second floor. Drop by any time!
