[Jessica wakes with a hangover, which is weird because she hasn't had a hangover this bad since her freshman year of college, and also she doesn't remember drinking. Actually, she doesn't remember much of anything? With a groan, she opens her eyes and then immediately squints and raises a hand to block out the light that assaults her.
Okay, ow.
Carefully opening them again, she's startled by the feeling of something tumbling from her chest into her lap and furrows her brow as she glances down, eyes widening in surprise at what she finds blinking back at her.]
Oh. Hi. [The...creature blinks once more for good measure and then opens its mouth to let out a strange...meowing sound that her ring completely fails to translate, which means it's probably just a meow and not a language at all. Unless, and her breath stops for a moment—but no she is wearing her ring. She sighs in relief and reaches her hand out hesitantly to the tiny grey blob of an alien, (obviously) running one finger along its back and winning herself a more pleased sounding chirp. Well okay then.]
So this is weird. [Still petting her new friend, she finally looks up again and begins to take in her surroundings and wow she definitely couldn't have gotten drunk enough to forget flying out of the post apocalyptic city she'd been holing up in and landing on a new planet.
Right. Okay. This is fine, she can figure this out. She's beneath a canopy of purple trees and something that she'd been sure was a branch just slithered away into another tree, but this is fine. Clearly, something had happened in The City. Another alien attack or some more glitching with the transport system. She can figure this out and get back. Jessica stands and tries not to cringe at the squelching sound the ground makes as she does, eyeing her new companion with a raised brow that it immediately imitates (which is especially great because it doesn't have eyebrows.)]
Looks like it's just you and me, Bud. Think we can handle it? [The creature answers by hopping onto her shoulder and beginning to chew on her hair and since Jessica is feeling like an optimist, she decides to take that as a yes. She has her ring, she has a small grey alien on her shoulder, clearly she's ready to conquer the world.]
Right, we got this. [She takes a step to work herself around the tree and nearly trips over a human leg that is apparently also attached to a human torso and arms and even a head.]

Oh, hey, whoa! Are you alright?
