Tropical islands / pirates — former residents — 0 returning — first notable incident
Paris (modern day Earth 2011) — ?* returning — first incident of actually returning (what changes between summer and winter?)
Pokemon world — ?* returning

? — find numbers. Is there a connection?

I've still got your dagger. If you're not busy I can drop it off at your room.


[ jenny ]

[ She mulled over this for a while during that Pokemon world. Jenny intrigued her on various levels and she certainly didn't mind her company when they had run into each other. It was nice a breath of fresh air to be able to talk to another woman about the castle's mysteries and the residents without passing off as too nosy. Of course, Jenny could just be feigning ignorance of Kate's perceptiveness.

Either way, Brock and Molotov's wedding invite said bringing a plus one was fine. There was no way she was going to ask Renee; too many uneasy feelings made her feel on edge.

After a long pause, she dictates: ]

Got any plans on the twenty-ninth?


I wonder if filmmakers would kill for whatever it was that happened with the library a while ago. Who needs 3D when you can experience your favorite story with all five senses? Then again, it would have been much preferred had the history book I borrowed not stuck me in a corset.

Anyway, out of curiosity... how many world changes have there been in total here?

[ And for anyone wandering into the game room, Kate's seated in there, focused more on her journal than the movie that she paused anyway. ]

Comments

[gevurah]

Basically, they're moving pictures. I'm guessing you've never seen a TV before.

[bolder]

Among other things.

[gevurah]

[ She's smiling a little on her end. ]

New here?

[bolder]

That, or I've lived under a rock my entire stay. [Not that she's ruling out the idea...]

[gevurah]

[ A pause. ]

You've been here before? [ Wondering if she remembers or... ]

[bolder]

[A pffft noise.]

No. It was a joke.

[gevurah]

Oh, didn't catch that one.

[bolder]

Obviously.

[gevurah]

If you ever want to see what a TV is, there's a large screen one in the game room. Eighth floor.

[bolder]

Thaaaaat wouldn't help with much.

[gevurah]

Oh?

[bolder]

It'd be pretty boring when you're blind.

[gevurah]

Oh.

[ awk... ]

Sorry.

[bolder]

Why? I'm not.

[gevurah]

[ Another pause. Right, don't treat her like a poor victim of life, Kate. You hate that yourself. ]

Didn't mean to come off as insensitive.

[bolder]

Now you're trying too hard to actually be sensitive. [Pause.[

Actually, stop trying altogether. Tell me about this place. I've got the basics, but... what's out there?

[gevurah]

Depends on what exactly you mean by "out there".

[bolder]

Well, we're not stuck on an island castle, are we?

[gevurah]

No, there are lands to explore. If there's anything past those ones, we're not entirely sure.

[bolder]

What's not to be sure about?

[gevurah]

People have only been able to explore some parts of the land.

[bolder]

What about the rest?

[gevurah]

Not so much luck.

[bolder]

Why's that? Scared of leaving the nest?

[gevurah]

No. The First Gens make it difficult to get too far.
