THE RETURN

[cowardly_prince]

Is Mayfield in the habit of shuffling us around without warning? I awoke today in a house full of drones. Though I can't help but suspect more than that is wrong today. Something else is off... have I lost time?

Th-that voice... no.

[fateful_chains]

Ingway?!

[cowardly_prince]

Did our initial reunion slip your mind, Velvet? 'Tis easy to be lost in one's first days here.

[fateful_chains]

...What do you mean? Unless...

Were you in Westport after all?

[cowardly_prince]

Westport?

[fateful_chains]

Yes. The other town that appeared. There was a photo of you there, so I thought perhaps...

[cowardly_prince]

A... another town? When did this transpire, Velvet?

[fateful_chains]

'Twas about two weeks ago. Many of us were trapped there for a week, without food or clean water. There was a photo of you in one of the houses, so I thought...

Where are you?

[cowardly_prince]

How could I have possibly remained uninformed--

...Stone Street. I confess I haven't memorized many street names, but it sounds unfamiliar.

[fateful_chains]

I'll be there soon.

[Sure enough, in a few minutes she's knocking on Ingway's door.]

It... really is you.

[cowardly_prince]

I feel as though one of us may be confused. Tell me, Velvet. When's the last you remember seeing me?

[fateful_chains]

I haven't seen you since the Pooka treated your wounds after you transformed into Darkova. You were still badly hurt, but you left, and...

[cowardly_prince]

...Yes, as I suspected.

[fateful_chains]

Ingway?

[cowardly_prince]

I simply expected that answer. 'Tis nothing you need concern yourself over.

[fateful_chains]

...What is the last thing you recall?
