1st slide

[In the lobby, there is a soft crack of sound, almost like thunder, followed by a rush of wind as a a blue swirling portal opens up in the air. Another flash of light illuminates the area and a moment later, a young woman tumbles head over heels and lands squarely on one of the couches. Giggling, she's quick to bounce to her feet]

How was that for a landing, guys.

[She turns on her heels, taking in the lobby for a moment with a look of wonder before turning back to the portal]

Guys?

[The drop in her smile is instanteous, and it falls further into near panic as the portal snaps audibly shut, leaving her for all intents and purposes, alone.]

Oh God. Ok...don't panic Wade this has happened before. Kind of.

[She rakes a hand through her hair and looks around again]

Quinn?! Remy?! Professor?! Please tell me you're here somewhere.

[Because if they weren't this was it for her. No timer, no sliding, and never having a chance at seeing home again.]

...please...

[Maladict has been sitting in her usual people-watching spot in the lobby, sipping a cup of coffee. She arches a brow at the portal, before turning her attention to the woman it deposited]

Probably not. But I give you a nine out of ten for the landing.

[She regards Mal warily, still shaken, the idea of being here alone forever fluttering around in her mind.]

Thanks, I guess. Can you tell me where I am?

Paradisa.

[She gestures to the stone wall]

The castle here, it's...well it has it's own mind, I suppose. It brought you here. It brings a lot of people here.

That can't be possible. I was just with them. We were traveling together. Why aren't they here? [Oh no she's starting to get vaguely hysterical]

That;s what the castle does. Divide and conquer. Maybe they're already here, maybe they'll arrive after you, maybe they won't arrive at all. It's all a matter of what the castle chooses.
