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.

[ 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. ]

[assassino]

Oh. I think I have heard that before, but I did not now how it was used. What, then, is the difference between a girlfriend who is a lover and a girlfriend who is both girl and friend?

[gevurah]

Intimacy with the former. [ A pause. ] Usually.

[assassino]

I see. But how does one know the difference?

[gevurah]

Most associate girlfriend with someone you're dating. Intimate with physically and... emotionally.

[assassino]

I see...

Well, Cristina is my girlfriend, then.

[gevurah]

I look forward to meeting her.

[assassino]

I will be sure to introduce you. She's incredible.

[gevurah]

How is she finding this place?

[assassino]

Difficult, I imagine. It is for anyone from our time, and there were... complications, but she seems happy to me.

[gevurah]

Understandable. It's not easy to settle here. [ Though her own tone indicates she has no desire to. ]

[assassino]

In so much time here, you haven't?

[gevurah]

Should I be?

[assassino]

I do not know. Some here seem adamant about going, others seem content to stay and start lives over.

[gevurah]

Don't know how much of that you can have here.

[assassino]

For some, it is all they will get.

[gevurah]

[ A beat. ]

Especially if life has passed for them back home.

[assassino]

Yes... that especially.

[gevurah]

[ She pauses again. ]

Not much of an alternative.

[assassino]

People will make good with what they have, I suppose.

[gevurah]

Yeah, you adapt. Survive. [ etc. ]

[assassino]

Even in Paradisa.

But let's talk about happier things! There's no point in going over what we already know, hmm?

[gevurah]

What do you want to talk about?

[assassino]

[laugh]

I don't know -- you already mentioned you do not work, but what do you do with your time, aside from going for coffee with strangers?

[gevurah]

Back home or here?

[assassino]

Both!
