Mysterious object with special properties, fuck my entire fucking life--hi, I'm Judith, I follow Glitch around when he's on the comm network, uh. So. Can I get some details on all of this, or do you want to meet up, or what?"

"Judith, hi. I'm Tara - Glitch told me to speak to you. We can meet, if you like, or I can tell you what I know. It's not much, yet."

Judith comes into view only after she finishes hastily applying some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara--her eyeliner is slightly crooked, but she decided she could live with that. She's usually more particular about her appearance, but lately she just hasn't had the energy.

"What do you know? Like--really, everything, if I'm being honest this is the first really new thing I've heard about in...forever. And you can ask me whatever, I'll try to answer as much as I can."

"Um... not very much, I'm afraid." Tara tucks some hair behind her ear. "This bus ticket appeared in my room this morning. It... when you touch it, it takes you to one particular spot on the beach. It's not magic, though. Or not like I understand magic, anyway."

"But you have a notebook you found with a list of things in it? That's what I'm getting out of this, anyway. The bus ticket is new, I've never heard about anyone having that before." Judith chews her bottom lip thoughtfully. "I've got a key that lets me into this time travelling room in the motel, or whatever, it's not magic like I know it either."

"Okay. Yeah - I found the notebook on the b-beach, where the ticket took me. It's not a list, though, it's... do you want to meet so you can see?"
