[Well, she seems to be calming down--at least for the moment--and so Chris feels it's safe to unmeld from the wall and step around her to lead the way toward the kitchen; if she just came from the mountain she's probably tired and hungry, and they have chairs and food.

He doesn't have a problem with answering the question about where the others are when it's phrased that way, as it avoids any need to correct her on the situation, and so he decides to focus on it first before the long story.]

I'm not totally sure, but they're around. Everyone's keeping kind of weird hours so they might be asleep or out looking for stuff or whatever else.

[Hopefully they're okay if they're out, what with the cats; he should probably send out some messages to check in on them and let them know Emily's here, but he's guessing a few of them at least might be sleeping. After everything that happened in the past few days they're all still pretty exhausted.

He's about to shift to answering the long question when he suddenly realizes something, glancing back over his shoulder at Emily as they reach the weird, alien kitchen.]

Uh, Em, what's the last thing you remember before showing up here?

[Obviously she at least got to the point in time where they're in all in the basement, but he's not sure beyond that and with everyone from different times, there's going to be a lot of confusion.]
