[Charlotte is not having the smoothest of days, which is as far as she'll let herself take that line of thought--she's trying not to dwell on things so much. All it means is that what she wants, more than anything, is to be home, trying to eat something with her tea and maybe even succeeding

No way home from here.

[quiesquietis]

Oh--

But there must be a trod--somewhere, I got here, even if I don't remember exactly how. Or what do you mean by 'no way'? Do I have to solve something?

[byweavinglives]

You can get in, but there's no way out, not until they let you leave.

Although there might be a puzzle. If there is, I haven't found it.

[quiesquietis]

But--who are they? And who are--I haven't introduced myself, I'm sorry. Philomena Poorwillow, or Charlotte, whichever you prefer. Miss in either case. I'm a little flustered, I'm sure it's not hard to tell, but that's not an excuse.

The City's taken its blood, don't... worry about it.

Welcome to the City, my name is Anna.

[quiesquietis]

That...doesn't sound very pleasant?

But thank you, Anna, I'm Charlotte--or Philomena, whichever name you like better.

[backseatangel]

It wasn't. And I won't frighten you with the details since you've just arrived.

...it's not my preference that matters, what's yours?

[quiesquietis]

I'm not that easy to scare, but--you know, that might be best, I'm already having some trouble taking this all in.

I think Charlotte, Philomena is a little much, isn't it?

Do you want the long version or the short version?

[quiesquietis]

I don't think the long one could hurt, at least for a change--as long as you don't mind?

[adamantined]

To be fair, the long version kind of starts with the short version. You're in a place called the City, unoriginal in name only, really.

The...architecture is certainly a jumble, although it's kind of charming. I like the carousel.

[dude_imbatman]

Sorta depends on where you're from if this is a nice place or not.

[quiesquietis]

You're right, at that. Oh--I should just introduce myself right away, this time, I'm Charlotte Janiver or Philomena Poorwillow, miss either way. This is going to sound like a trite question, but...do you mind it here?

[dude_imbatman]

Dean Winchester and most of the time I like this place better than home.

[quiesquietis]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Winchester. Is there any reason for that, or would that be prying of me to ask?
