So. What happens now?

Good to know, Helena Campbell.

[pause] Well. ...Were you injured at all?

[veryusefulbook]

No. No I was not injured, John Preston... And thank you, thank you for your concern.

Are you alright as well? It's been a while since we've spoken. You weren't hurt or anything during all this, were you?

[payitgladly]

You're... welcome.

Negative. I am well. I was not injured though there was no close call at the beginning. [pause] I am always prepared.

[veryusefulbook]

I-I'm glad that you are alright.. and that you are prepared. I seem to lack in regards to preparedness. [Soft chuckle]

[[Screened//Unhackable]]

And John... are you sure you're okay? You don't quite sound the same. Of course, I could just be imagining that but I thought I would ask...

[darker_alice]

I'm well. I'm bothered I could not find you, as I had to scramble about like everyone else.

Now about this princess...can anything be done?

[veryusefulbook]

I'm relieved that you are alright. I've been so wrapped up in everything going on.

As for The Princess I don't really know. Sometimes I can feel her tugging on me, trying to force me out of this world and into hers but for some reason or another I've managed to hold her off. I don't know how long that will last, however.

[darker_alice]

One survives the best they can, after all.

Hmm. It is possible I can help you fight her of. I've had to do something like that before, you know.

[veryusefulbook]

I'm not quite sure I understand... what do you mean help fight her off?

I remember you saying something about going into other people's minds before but... she's not in my head. She's a real person.
