Okay, you guys, you can come out now! This so totally isn't even funny! No, seriously, it's about as funny as the time you put me on the porch. I get it, I'm a heavy sleeper, but if you want me to wake up, then like, just wake me up!

Ugh, geez, what I even wearing? Seriously, this is- Oooh, this is actually kind of cute. Oh, oooh, my clothes! They're right here!

...Oh, no way! They cut holes in the back?! This is my favorite shirt, too! And they didn't even leave me a coat. It's like, totally FREEZING! It's SNOWING! THEY DUMPED ME OUT IN THE SNOW!

_{[She lets out an exasperated sigh.]}

Geez, where am I anyway? It wasn't even snowing earlier, was it? Is there even a forest anywhere near our neighborhood!? Ow! Ow, OW! My back...! What did those guys do?!

_{[She's silent for a few moments.]}

Omigosh. Omigosh are these wings? Why do I have wings? I have wings!

I have wings.

Omigosh, I'M DEAD! WHY AM I DEAD!?

_{[Anyone who is around the area may see a teenage girl tromping about in the snow, talking to herself and completely flipping her lid.]}

_{[She jumps a little upon hearing his voice. Someone isn't aware of the journal quite yet.]}

Wh-

Okay, no. I have to be dead.

I'm talking to people I can't see and I'm not like, on my phone or...

_{Did they take my phone...? They took my phone...!}

...So, I'm either dead or crazy. Are you saying I've gone crazy?! Because you have to tell me if I'm crazy!

Wha...? [He blinks startledly.] I didn't say nothin' like that!

Listen... I'm somebody jus' like you who was sucked into this place a couple months ago. M'talkin' to ya through y'journal... yours must be open or somethin'. Have a look around... it might be kinda hidden in the snow.

Journal...?

_{[This is some kind of slang term for a phone or something, right? She moves in the direction of his voice before stopping and digging through the snow. After a few moments, she uncovers...an...actual journal. Not what she expected.]}

Well, this is wei-

Wait, did you say "sucked into this place?" Um, what?

[Catching more than a glimpse at the owner of the voice, Mac blinks back at her for a moment before replying.]

Yeah, well... [He scratches his head, glancing aside.] A while back, I was mindin' my own business an' was jus' takin' a nap at my place after hittin' the gym. When I woke up, I wasn't in the Bronx no more, that's f'sure. Some nice folks were able t'tell me a lil' 'bout this place an' how I got here... it's called Luceti, by the way.

...Luceti?

I've never even heard of this place. Are we like, upstate or something? Because people always say there are tiny places that you never hear about.

Try a whole other world. Seriously. [Pausing a beat, he half-winces in sympathy, apologetic.] I know it sounds crazy, but... I ain't makin' this stuff up - ask anybody who's been here for a while. If it helps any, I still think it's pretty weird.

But, that's like...impossible. "Other world?" Seriously? Isn't that something out of like, some nerdy sci-fi thing or something?

[Hey, man, sci-fi flicks can be really cool.] That's what I thought, too. But it ain't.

Wait, wait, okay, I get it.

I'm not the one who's crazy here. You are!

C'mon... [He heaves a sigh of slight exasperation.] I ain't messin' with ya.

I know this don' make no sense right now, b'bear with me, okay? Somebody else is jus' gonna tell y'the same thing.

_{[She's just going to keep right on pouting at you.]}

Well, they'll probably sound just as crazy as you do! Like, just because a lot of people tell you something ridiculous, doesn't mean it's suddenly going to make sense.

Yeah, okay... but take a look over ya shoulder, yeah? Y'got wings now an' those things are real. Careful with 'em, by the way. If you's lookin' for an explanation that sounds real believable, y'ain't gonna get one. When y'pulled outta bed like I was, don' 'member nothin', an' trapped in a big bubble with other people from diff'rent worlds, things gonna get weird. That may not be whatchya wanna hear, or what anybody wants t'hear when they jus' pop in, but that's jus' how things are 'round here. M'sorry.

_{[Still frowning, she lets out a little sigh, her shoulders slumping.]}

You don't have to be sorry, I guess. I mean, it's not like it's your fault I'm here.

...Is it?

No - - hell no.

These guys called the Malnosso brought y'here... you, me, an' everybody else stuck in this bubble. You's gonna be hearin' a lot about 'em while y'here.

"Everybody el-"

Just how many people have ended up here?! "Brought here?!" WHat is this, some kind of kidnapping or something?!

_{[On one hand, oh nice, she's not alone. On the other hand, WHAT.]}

Hate t'say it, but... that's one way t'think about it. It ain't as complicated. Oh, an' jus' so y'know... time don' pass back home. So while y'here, nothin's gonna happen where y'came from. So y'don' gotta worry 'bout that.

Time just...stops? So no one at home will even know I'm even gone.

_{[It doesn't quite sit well with her, but...]}

I-I guess it's good if it means they won't worry. And it's nice to know I won't miss anything important.

Yeah... I hear ya.

_{[Now that she's calmed down a bit, Pilouette supposes he's been nice enough about this whole thing, especially given her little panic fit.]}

Well, uh, thanks for telling me about all this stuff, I guess.

Um. I-I'm Pilouette.

[Pilouette... that's kind of a cute name. Unusual, though.]

The name's Mac. An', no prob'm. I know it ain't easy hearin' all this.

Thanks.

And, um...s-sorry about calling you like, crazy and stuff. You're not mad...right?

_{[Have a sheepish little grin.]}

...Naw, I ain't mad atchya. [He shrugs, offering a little smile of his own.] Takes a lil' more than that t'cheese me off, anyway.

Well, I guess I need to starting figuring out what I'm doing. Maybe I'll be seeing you around!

Yeah. Think y'will 'cause this place don' seem so big once y'get used to it.

If you say so...!
