[ Newly arrived Kid is wandering in the Golden District, looking at all the foggy villas and wondering what happened to the music box. He'd been at Gallows Mansion, found it in the library, and had been about to ask if it belonged to Liz or Patty when it had started to play. After that his memory had blurred and the next thing he recalled was being

My, they seem to keep coming don't they? You're in Splendor, sir.

[grimreaping]

"They"?

What is Splendor?

[mykimlasca]

Pardon, I suppose that means you.
The place we're currently in.

[grimreaping]

The place we're-- but I was only at home a moment ago.

[mykimlasca]

We all were. I know it's hard to explain, but at least know that you aren't the only one in this situation.

Are you aware of what you're speaking with? That's called a Seal. You also should have a key around your neck, it will show you to your temporary residence.

[grimreaping]

I thought it was some kind of cellphone...

A key? Excuse me, miss, but I don't need temporary lodging. I don't know in what manner I arrived here, but I need to return to Death City immediately.

[mykimlasca]

And I have a kingdom to return to, but that is not something easily done as those of us who have been dropped here are realizing.

For now, our duties have been postponed, unfortunate as it is.

[grimreaping]

I'm not sure I follow. Dropped where precisely? Where is Splendor located?

[mykimlasca]

It..pains me to admit, but I don't exactly know where.

[grimreaping]

[ he sounds courteous ]

That's all right, miss. I apologize if I seemed to be putting you on the spot.

[mykimlasca]

There's no need to apologize, if anything, I'm sorry that I cannot give you better information. I can only try to assure you that we are all doing everything we can to find a way back to our respective places.

[grimreaping]

How many people are we talking about here?

[mykimlasca]

More than a hundred, at least.

(she looks so beautiful in that icon!)

[grimreaping]

... this sounds like the work of witches.

(oh that one? *^* she's a pretty ladee. :> )

[mykimlasca]

Witches?

(she certainly is)

[grimreaping]

Indeed.
