[after waking up in a stylishly-decorated city loft-style room, teenage Shego had to take some time to verify that she had, in fact, not died and gone to heaven]

[after that, she explores a little bit, flips through the journal, figures out what it is, and decides to get business out of the way before getting back to the cool stuff]

[the first part of her dictation sounds like it's being read from a memorized script:]

Fear not, brave citizens.

[it's definitely Shego's voice, albeit a younger Shego's voice]

Your collective nightmare will soon come to an end, now that our dastardly kidnapper has seen fit to steal away one-fifth of the Team Go and trap her in this admittedly swanky fortress of misery, destruction, and really cool spa rooms. Rest assured, they will be caught and brought to justice, and when they are, they'll curse they day they came up with this evil scheme of... yadda yadda yadda.

Look.

I don't know what the deal here is, and I'm not gonna lie and say that this isn't at least kind of a welcome change, but that doesn't change the fact that me and all these other people were brought here against our will. I know you're listening to this, because no good bad guy doesn't keep tabs on their kidnap victims, and I just want you to know that you've set yourself up for the butt-kicking of a lifetime here.

The rest of you? You don't really seem like a panicky bunch, but if you are, breath into a paper bag and sit tight. You have at least one superhero among you now, and the rest of my team is eventually going to get their crap together without me and come after us. But, judging by how well they normally do when I'm not around to organize everything for them, we're looking at two-three weeks of waiting time, minimum. If you need someone to talk to about your predicament, find someone who isn't me, because I don't have the time or the patience to deal with freaked-out civilians.

Thanks. Bye.

[she shuts the journal]

[...What]

Sounds like you've got a bad case of amnesia.

[wantsiceland]

Uh, excuse me?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You sounds very familiar. Shego?

[wantsiceland]

Yyyyeah. And you are?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Bunnymund. You don't remember me?

[wantsiceland]

[the tiniest of snorts]

Pretty sure I'd remember a name like that. Where am I supposed to know you from, and what do you have to do with me being here?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Yep. Thanks castle, thanks]

Look, you've been messed around with by a-

Yeah you probably won't believe that. You have amnesia. That's easy. Let's start from there.

[Younger person amnesia? Whatever the castle's done]

[wantsiceland]

I'm so sure. The more you say that, the more I figure you have something to do with this.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Sorry, darl. I'm as trapped here as you are.

[kryptonian]

Uh....


Shego?

[wantsiceland]

Okay, why does everyone here know my name? We are not that famous.

[kryptonian]

For real? You never shut up last time you were here, though it was usually spouting stuff about villainy.

[wantsiceland]

... Say that again.

[she likes his accent]

[wantsiceland]

I'm a crimefighter; villainy talk kind of comes with the territory. Also, I've never been here before.

Who're you?

[Alex pays tragically little attention people she doesn't know over the journal, so the voice is barely familiar - and then, only as something she may have heard in passing. Tuning in and out of the monologue, Alex finally lets out a little snort of a laugh.]

Aw, that's cute. You must be new here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Such an awkward pause]

...I'm as trapped as you are?

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

[Interesting. Just the other day she was asking about losses and now it's obvious she's gone through one. Isn't chalking this up to coincidence, he's sure the castle is purposefully playing a roll in this.

Opts to respond this time using his Alvin Draper persona, versus his actual demeanor that he used when he responded more or less anonymously. There are overlaps between the two, but he's not going to be so outwardly goal driven.]


Ah, hi. There's actually a bunch of superheroes here already, it's kind of crazy! I don't know if your team will be able to find us or not, it doesn't seem like there's a way for the other worlds to contact us.

[wantsiceland]

[... definitely not going to say that she meant the "darl" part, because that's just embarrassing]

[especially when she finds out that he's a rabbit]

Never mind.

You want to give me more details on this amnesia thing?

;dictated

[wantsiceland]

Cut the patronizing act or I'll decide to leave you behind when I blow my way out of here.

[not that her brothers-- who she's sure will show up eventually-- would stand for that]

[sob, her life is ~*so hard*~]

Dictated.

[wantsiceland]

Other... worlds.

[considering her own world, it's not completely unbelievable, but it's still at least a little suspicious]

Have I been wormholed?

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

That's actually...a pretty accurate description of what happened. I mean, I don't know for sure, but yeah. Something like that.

Dictated.

[wantsiceland]

You've got to be kidding me. This couldn't have happened before my biology midterm? It figures.

So the hotshot superhero spiel was pretty useless, wasn't it.

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

Even if it was just before your midterm, you'd still have to take it. Which kinda sucks. I mean the least the castle could do for us is let us skip out on that stuff back home. But apparently time doesn't pass at all. No one will even know we're missing.

I thought it was cool for what it's worth.

Dictated.

[wantsiceland]

It's cool...ish? There's definitely an uncool element here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Yep, that sort of thing just ends up being awkward]

It's a loss. From what I can tell, the castle does it to you. Sends your memory back. I've seen it happen to someone else.
