[Yes, it's another new face on the Vine - a young woman in her early twenties, hands folded in the lap of her lacy dark-red dress as she calmly addresses the camera.]

Well, I don't really know what to think about having tried to get to another world and ending up in an entirely different other world than the one I was aiming for. I had been under

Well, stupid shit happens a lot here. If your into that.

[not_as_special]

While it naturally sounds unattractive when you put it that way, I fear your description is far too vague for me to determine whether or not I am, as you put it, "into that".

[body_horrible]

You want more, huh? Most of this place is pretty much like somebody threw together every fairytale cliche ever and pasted them into a world. If you like pastels everywhere and talking cats then your in the right place.

As for me, the only remotely interesting thing I've heard about in this two-bit hell-hole is a labyrinth or something that gives people nightmares.

[not_as_special]

... right, you, er, have fun with that, then. For my part I think I shall be keeping my distance from the nightmare labyrinth.

[restlessdevil]

Oh, there's plenty to see and do! Really, this is a great place! You'll probably love it! ...Unless you're keen on going back home any time soon.

I'm Zenobia. It's a pleasure to meet you! So, may I ask your name, lady in the pretty dress? [Zenobia gets a strange feeling of Déjà Vu. ...Oh well.]

[it's almost like we've met somewhere before!]

That sounds a trifle ominous.

And it's Athena Fairchild. A pleasure to meet you as well.

[restlessdevil]

Yeah, I suppose it does. People come and sometimes go here without warning. There's some mysterious "Queen" behind it all, apparently, but I've yet to meet her.

Very nice to meet you. You're very pretty.

[not_as_special]

So my comings and goings are completely at the mercy of some unseen dictator. Lovely.

And you're a flatterer who probably says that to everyone.

The cats should have scrolls available to give you the basic rundown. I also have brochures in the library to get you more up to speed. You can ask the cats to show you the way. They're not total jerks like normal cats.

[not_as_special]

My goodness, helpful cats? I think that might be the most unusual thing about this place.

And a brochure sounds like it would be quite useful, so I suppose I'll be heading to the library. Thank you.

[notvitiligo]

Yeah, actually... it's probably more normal than a lot of the stuff here.

Glad I can help. I'm Jessica, by the way. Jessica Boyette. Feel free to bug me on the Vine if you need help or anything.

[not_as_special]

Well, yes, I had supposed as much. It was just a joke really - you know, I've nothing against cats, but "helpful" isn't a word I associate with them. They walk by themselves and all places are the same to them, and that.

And I'm Athena Fairchild. Pleased to meet you.
