[Jane appears to be sitting in the middle of the woods. It's raining, though not terribly hard, and she doesn't appear too bothered by it as she shelters under a tree with an irritated-looking bird fluffed up on her shoulder.]
I've been thinking about something... and indulge me, because sitting out here waiting for the rain to stop is terribly dull.
[She doesn't use the network too often and rarely for a casual query, but she is bored.]
There are a good many people here from other worlds, yet I often notice that most seem to be... hmm, heroes of some kind, I suppose? Or people who were already powerful in magical ways, or people of high political influence. Some are gods, even. [A little shrug follows this, and she hums thoughtfully.]
So I wondered, then, just how many are not. How many were pulled into this from perfectly ordinary lives where nothing magical or horribly dangerous really happened to them, and they were certainly never anticipating having to halt some multiverse-ending calamity.
[A fat raindrop hits the top of her head and she flinches, looking up and then shuffling further back against the tree.] I'm sure I'm not the only one who often wonders which capricious higher power thought they had the skill set for this.

no subject
I'm sure I know one or two people... [Though they aren't people she actually wants to ask about it, admittedly. But there must be others! You can't tell what magic someone has unless you ask, after all.
Unless they're having a bad day with animal magic, anyway.]
I suppose I've just had other things on my mind.
no subject
[ Minako has already been here quite a few months herself, and she knows that other people have been here for even longer than she has been.. So it doesn't seem like this place is in any rush to send them all home again anytime soon, she thinks. ]
So that just means you can take your time in learning that stuff, you know? There's no need to rush!
no subject
I suppose you're right! [Granted they could disappear any day - any of them could - but that shouldn't stop any pursuit of learning. She can't even imagine just sitting back and doing nothing, just waiting to go home.]
There are a lot of other things I'd like to do that aren't practicing dark magic, but perhaps I ought to give a little time to it. I've been here for quite a while myself now.
