[open] introduction to advanced relocation
She doesn't remember anything.
It's a jarring feeling, to have no recollection of the series of events that have led up to this moment - to her standing in Republic City, near the Spirit Wilds, still as she always is among the throng of people going to and fro. Could this be one of Varrick's ridiculous plans? Some transporter that had the unintentional side effect of ruining her memory in the process? No, that didn't sound right. She can clearly remember what they'd been working on in Zaofu. The gap in her memory seems to have started one night when she went to sleep and ended here, with absolutely nothing in the middle.
She needs a moment. Just a moment to duck her head, to push her glasses up, to try to force herself to recall something from the past... period of time. She doesn't even know how long she's been like this. When nothing comes to mind, she comes up with a second plan, just as she always does.
Straightening and feeling for her notebook (breathing a sigh of relief when she finds it where it always is), she approaches the nearest person she can find, tapping them on the shoulder. Brisk and efficient as always. This isn't a problem she can't fix. "Excuse me. Do you happen to know if Varrick is in the city?"

"He's definitely here. He gave me the job of a secretary for now." She paused and her eyes seemed to light up. "You're his assistant? He's really been missing you!"

She reserves her right to be less than perfectly efficient in her speech. “Um.”
Just for a moment. Her brain works at twice its normal speed to come up with something, anything to say, and in a matter of seconds, she continues professionally, “being a secretary with Varrick Global Industries is an… impressive career for someone as young as you, ma’am.”

"I'm not as impressive as you are. Honestly Varrick kind of just tossed the job at me because all of his employees kind of just vanished. Poof! I didn't get the job because I'm any good," she gives her a sheepish smile.

" Yeah, something happened with the spirits around this place and it made a lot of people disappear and a lot of other people just appear."
