A. Action [505 Ricardo Street]

[The first thing that Clover notices upon waking up--that ceiling is not her's. Nor does she know the person sleeping next to her. She shoots up out of bed, wondering just what in the world is going on here.

Before she can think of what to do (or kick him in the kneecaps), the person who is apparently her "husband"

[Iceland is just walking down the road with a puffin on his head.]

...Are you okay?

[fireandiceland]

[He looks a bit curious at "the last two times", but he isn't going to bring it up.]

The town does stuff to us. It locked me in a bowling alley with someone for seven hours earlier this month, and we had to drink milk that was poisoned or had razors or spiders in it the month before that.

[Also, he's been here for months.]

[truthhadgone]

[Whoops, she let that part slip. Good thing he didn't press it.]

Milk with spiders and razors!? That's gross! The town made you drink that?

[How could anyone survive more than a few hours in a place like that?]

[fireandiceland]

[He nods.]

You can die, but you just wake up the next day.

[truthhadgone]

...Die...

[So this place seems just as deadly as the Nonary Game. Good to know!]

S-so this must not be anywhere on Earth. It's impossible to come back to life once you've died.

[fireandiceland]

Yeah. People are from different worlds here, some know magic or are from the future.

[truthhadgone]

The future!?

So now this place has robots, wizards, and time travelers. Doesn't sound like home to me.

[fireandiceland]

I don't think anyone knows where it is.

[truthhadgone]

Well, it's... Mayfield.

Right?

[fireandiceland]

Yeah, but we don't know where Mayfield is. They say it's America, but I don't think it's really America.

[truthhadgone]

[America. The last time she'd been to America was for the Nonary Game--again.]

I don't think America has robots, time travelers, or wizards. Or razors in milk, for that matter.

[fireandiceland]

Yeah. So it's probably some other world.

[truthhadgone]

Well, I didn't know there were other worlds. Or, well, are.

This place is really weird. And there's no way to go home... Have people tried?

[fireandiceland]

If you go to the end of town you just go around in a loop.

[truthhadgone]

...W-whoa.

Is that even possible?

[fireandiceland]

Yeah. You can try it for yourself if you want.
