well, since there's been no activity...

[ Should someone happen to step just outside, there is a very confused young lady. A young lady with strawberry blonde hair chopped short, wearing a dress that seems to be from the 19th centrury that also seems to have seen some better days

[Madeleine was brushing Kumarie's fur when Clementine walked in.]

Hmm?

[yourgodsend]

[ There's a sigh of relief when she recognizes Madeleine, walking over to her. That, and more confusion. ]

Did I end up in Canada somehow?

[petit_canada]

Uhm, no. Why do you ask?

Who are you?

Canada...

And she?

[yourgodsend]

Because yer here. I ain't seen you since tha war started, and I wasn' aware you were comin' ta Virginia. Though I do wonder if this is really Virginia...

[ There's a little frown as she speaks, looking the other over more. Her clothes looked strange, too, Clementine thinks.

Then she glances towards the bear. ]

I'm Clementine.

[petit_canada]

War? Virginia? ... Oh maple...

[Kumarie was happy with that answer and stretched.]

This isn't home. I actually don't know where this place is but it's called the Headquarters or HQ.

[yourgodsend]

That doesn' make sense, though. How did I suddenly find myself here? I can't be gone long, there's no time for-...

Pardon me, but what do you mean ya don' know where we are?

[petit_canada]

It's how I said... I don't know where we are. No one does.

[yourgodsend]

I suppose that means you can't tell me how ta git back home, huh?

[petit_canada]

Sadly not... Everyone would like to go home if they could.

[yourgodsend]

[ She couldn't afford to stay gone and she knew it. But there's no way back...Clementine finds herself nervously fiddling with a sleeve before catching herself and stopping. ]

Then...what can we do here? What happens where we came from?

[petit_canada]

I think time at home stops as long as we stay here.

[Madeleine thought for a bit.]

There are a few strange rooms here, you can go explore this place...

[yourgodsend]

...I'm not certain whether that is a small mercy or not.

How do ya mean strange?

[petit_canada]

I also can't tell if it is...

[She sighed.]

For example there are rooms made of candy.

[yourgodsend]

Shall I assume nothing here will make very much sense?

[petit_canada]

I happened to hear someone call this place a madhouse before.

[yourgodsend]

If what you're sayin' is true...they very well may be right.
