℗ oo2. a headache the size of stark towers

[quits]

[Needless to say, Pepper did not have a very good first day in Paradisa. She spent most of her day in the elevator convinced she'd wake up at some point, then found out her friend was killed, and then spent the rest of the night drinking. Once again proving to herself that she cannot keep up with Tony Stark when it comes to alcohol.

Now she is miserable.]

So -- this much is clear. I'm not dreaming. I'm from before the time that Tony's here from and a bunch of stuff happened. [Her fingers press to her temple... ow.]

Wishes, the journal, the castle -- all magic, which is real. There are places that you end up sometimes, because the castle brings everyone there. People die, but then come back because the castle... fixes it. I've lost something and it's not just the memory of being here before -- which is also the same case for Tony, even though neither of us remember.

[She has a glass of ice water, which you can hear clink when she raises it to press to her temple.]

Is there anything else I should know? [Other than the whole Loki thing, which she is not even going to say his name, because she wants him to hurt for what he did.]

Oh, and for those I didn't weird out the other day in the elevator while I was still thinking this is all a dream - I'm Pepper Potts.

I also could really use some aspirin. [But she can handle that one.]

I've heard about the temporary losses and the alternate worlds -- is there more than that?

[walkinthruwalls]

Well there's the loss you get when you arrive but sometimes the castle does other losses, like turning you into an animal or altering your memory.

[quits]

Right, I've heard about that I think. It seems very inconvenient.

[walkinthruwalls]

Sometimes it's not that bad, I had fun being a cat anyway, but depending on what it does it can get pretty bad.

[quits]

You were a cat?

[walkinthruwalls]

For a week or so.

[quits]

That's alarming.

It beat last month - I was a toy for the whole month, the action figure kind.
