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. ]

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!

[gevurah]

Back in Gotham I've got my cousin living with me. [ She doesn't mention her dad, because every time she does something feels off. She knows she lost a memory and he's got something to do with it. ]

I drive around, go shopping, drinking and dancing... [ And beat up people in the night. ]

Here I do a lot more reading. I've been teaching a couple of people how to play the guitar.

[assassino]

Sounds relaxed enough. Guitars are those future lutes, right?

[gevurah]

Stepmother can afford it.

[ Amused. ]

Right.

[assassino]

And what is a stepmother, exactly?

[gevurah]

My father's wife, but not my biological mother.

[assassino]

Ah. My condolences.

[gevurah]

It's fine.

[assassino]

And what of your father? It is uncommon, in my time, for a woman to marry below her family's class...

[gevurah]

He's a military man.

[assassino]

Ah -- a mercenary, or a part of a formal army?

[gevurah]

US Army. Colonel Jake Kane.

[ ... yeah, something definitely is off when she mentions him. ]

[assassino]

I'm not familiar with that rank, but your family seems to have some sense of humour about names. Kate, Jake...

[gevurah]

Colonel is one of the higher ranks; rank of a senior commissioned officer.

It's short for Jacob. [ ... ] And I don't go by Katherine.

[assassino]

I see. Very important, then, I gather.

There is another Katherine here, so I imagine it would get a touch confusing if you did.

[gevurah]

I've seen the name on the floor map, but there haven't been any accidental filter mix-ups yet.

[assassino]

That's good.

[For...... private reasons.....]

[gevurah]

[ Please don't start sexting each other via journal. ]

You're friends with the other one?

[assassino]

[He doesn't know what sexting is, okay.]

Yes -- I imagine you have not met?

[gevurah]

We haven't.

[assassino]

You should. She is very lovely.
