[Audio/Commentlog]

[Liz isn't sure what's going on or how the heck she ended up in the room she's now standing in, but she is nore than a little bit alarmed. The last thing she remembered was helping Chloe escape the Edison Group's facility. The chaos of the demon summonings and people dying ..]

[She looks around the room, only vaguely taking solace that this place looks different than any of the Edison facilities she's been in so far.]

[Then she sees the journal sitting on the small desk and walks over to it. She's not thinking at first and simply reaches for it, expecting her hand to pass right through it .. when it thumps right into it.]

What??

[Cue Liz just kind of staring at the book for several moments before lifting it to read.]

[She spends the next several minutes figuring out how to post something.]

Umm .. Hi, am I doing this right? Wow .. okay, this is really crazy. And I mean really crazy, and please believe me when I say I know crazy.

Ahh .. [She trails off, watching as the words appear in the journal as she says them.]

Okay .. that's cool .. not even going to lie about how cool that is. Does it work like this for everyone? Umm .. is there an everyone? I mean, this is way too advanced for the Edison Group .. So, there's other people here too, right?

Umm .. okay, so .. introductions, I guess? My name's Liz .. annnnd .. I guess this Deior guys is a pretty powerful wizard or something right? 'Cause .. I'm supposed to be dead ..

[Unfortunately Liz hasn't tried to open the door yet, or she'd find that she's quite possibly still very much her former ghostly self. Someone is will likely suffer a pretty big disappointment when she realizes things aren't quite as they seem..]

...you're dead?

[Liz blinks as Sollux's voice pipes through the book, accompanied by letters that seem to be transcribing him as well.]

Whoa .. cool! Umm, hi there. Yeah .. dead .. the ex-living .. recently deceased .. Or at least I was. I shouldn't be able to pick up things with my hands or anything, but here I am doing it and not with my telekenisis or anything! And I can, like, totally see myself; and it's been a while since I could do that.

Soo .. I seem to be pretty up and alive .. again!

[And she sounds pretty excited about it, doesn't she, Sollux?!]

You're a ghost?

*Wait, no way, she sounds way too...happy to be a ghost. Unless Deior's tricks bring people back to life when they get here as well as if they die while here.*

Things work pretty weirdly here.

Yep .. well .. I was. I'm really not sure what's going on right now, cause, like I said .. I'm not supposed to be able to pick stuff up. I'm not supposed to be, like, solid.

[She's happy for both reasons, Sollux. To be alive again right now is pretty cool, but she was also pretty chill with being dead. She had her own duties in their messed up little family, after all.]

[Then she laughs. She actually laughs.]

Yeah, I kinda figured that much out. Not everyday I appear in .. what the hell is this, anyway? Is this a castle? Oh. My. God. Please tell me this is a castle!

[Because wizards and castles and being alive, omfg!!]

Its a keep, I guess that's the same thing.

*She might not be alive, it might just be some weird keep thing. Should he tell her now ~~and crush her dreams~~ or wait for her to find out on her own ~~and get crushed even harder~~ ~~and laugh and laugh~~?*

You're here because your world doesn't exist anymore.

[Liz squeals. Hope you weren't holding the journal too close to your ears, Sollux. :D]

Oh. My. God! That is so cool!!! God, how the heck does this sorta thing even happen?

[And then a pause as Sollux cuts in with an attempt to break her brain and crush her spirit, but he didn't roll for dexterity before attempting and his roll fails! Liz doesn't seem all that preturbed by this ..]

Well, yeah .. I, like, read that whole letter thing .. But if I'm here, there's, like, no reason to think that others won't be brought here too, right?

[She doesn't sound entirely crushed at all.]

I mean .. I've been dead before and it wasn't all bad .. I think I know better than most, really .. So ..

[She shrugs to herself. She wouldn't miss her world, as she'd been dead for a while, but she'd certainly miss her friends ..]

[She chews on her lip for a moment, before moving to chew on a nail.]

Maybe my view is a bit skewed, but if they saved me I can't think that there's not a chance for the others ..

*No worries, Sollux doesn't really bother keeping the book RIGHT NEXT to him when talking into it. He does cringe a bit at her squeal, however.
He's not really attempting to break her (with that...), he's just making sure she's paying attention. If he were trying to crush her he'd do much better 8D*

Nobody knows. Maybe its magic.

*He does not believe it is magic.*

They might be, people show up here regularly, but they might not. There's no want to tell ahead of time.

[A good thing for him, then! As for brain breakage, you can feel free to bring it on, mister. You have an all too bubbly ghost on your hands right now, and even after she finds out she's still a ghost she'll still be damn bubbly! :D]

[She is quiet for a minute as she takes in what he's said, lips pursing a bit.]

Well, magic is something I'm pretty familiar with .. I mean between Simon and Tori it was a pretty regular occurance .. After, like, we found out we were just, like, social degenerates or something.

[She laughs then, grinning to herself.]

Oh my god, that was a huge relief!

[She drums her fingers against the journal's cover.]

Well, so there's a chance that they might show .. so, that's, like, better than nothing. It'd be great if there was some kinda wanted listed that we could request on, though .. I mean, if anyone is going to make it through this whole mess, it's my friends, but even so ..

[Cause she'd feel much better about this whole mess if any of the gang were here.]

...you must come from some place pretty crappy.

[Can you hear her shrug, Sollux? She's shrugging that hard right now.]

It's okay, I guess .. I mean, if you discount the whole being killed 'cause I, like, wasn't working out the way they expected me to. Nope, can't have a telekenetic half-demon running amok with her own thoughts .. certainly not if she's, like, a teenager .. GASP.

[She sighs and shakes her head, sucking her cheeks in a bit.]

It wasn't all bad, but that certainly put a damper on things ..

Um, yeah, getting killed tends to change things.

[She's nodding here, Sollux, but then she has a moment of pause as that sinks in.]

Have you died before? Here?

Yeah. Here people just come back *usually?* without their memories. They get them back in a few days.

*Also he once died in his universe, but Sollux isn't looking forward to attempting to explain that to her.*

[Liz takes a moment to let that sink in, lips pursing.]

Soo .. like, coming back from the dead is normal here? Just with a some kinda temporary amnesia ..?

[Yes, trying to explain that whole hot mess might prove a bit confusing to someone new to the concept of coming so easily back from the dead; let alone the whole troll thing ..]

It seems that way, at least.

Huh .. I guess being dead ain't that big a deal anymore .. Is there anyone else here that was, like, brought back from the dead or anything?

Who was dead before they got here? I don't think so.

*Though she'll find out he's wrong with these other replies, he must have missed that, oops.*

[Liz frowns slightly at his reply, having heard otherwise from Riah just a few minutes ago.]

Huh .. wonder what makes me so special .. not that I'm, like, complaining, mind you. I really never thought I'd get this chance .. it was made pretty clear on my world that dead is dead is dead.

Although .. I guess there are different degrees of dead .. 'Cause I was a ghost and there were zombies and stuff ..

[Her brows knit together slightly in thought before she sighs, smile returning to her tone.]

So, strange book voice .. you gotta name?

Yeah, I guess.

*Fuck if he knows how it works. He was pretty sure before AA came back, but now--especailly with this place--who knows?*

Sollux. Please tell me you understand I'm not in the fucking book.

[Although her brows arch at the language, she cannot help the mock gasp that slips past her lips. She brings the journal in close and whispers at it, her tone shocked.]

What?! I totally thought you were, like, my book spirit guide or something!! Like way better than a genie in a bottle, for sure!

[Have a snort of amusement, Sollux.]

Yeah, Sollux, I know you're not an enchanted book or something lame like that. Any idea how many of us have been rescued?

[And she's using that there term loosely.]

*He snickers.*

Because people have thought that before and it gets old.

*It could be funny, though, he guesses.*

I don't know, I don't pay that much attention, a good number. They cull people sometimes though.

[Oh good, her magical book friend is amused. That, in Liz's opinion, is a very good sign.]

I guess not everyone comes from a place where this kinda stuff is, like, normal, huh? It's weird to think about alternate worlds and places and stuff .. I mean, this stuff is, like, totally right up my alley but I guess it might not be that way for everyone .. I mean, not everyone knew about the Edison Group, so not everyone would know about werewolves and witches and stuff ..

[Annnnnnnd, now you have a very concerned Liz .. a concerned Liz that sounds VERY nervous all of a sudden.]

Wait .. what? Cull .. they cull people here? Like .. kill them?? Cause I've, like, already been through that once and I, like, totally don't want to go through it again. How can they even do that?! Save someone from the utter destruction of their world or whatever and then, like, kill them??? SERIOUSLY?!

[It's a good thing that the journal is just on audio, cause a few things in her room are beginning to lift from their places of rest in reaction to her increasing dismay.]

A lot of people don't expect the weird shit that happens here.

Or something like that. We don't see anybody get killed, but they just disappear and they don't come back. It can't be anything else.
Well, sometimes they come back, but its a different version of them, from a different timeline or world with no memories of this place.

I've come to rather expect weird stuff, to be honest ..

[Still, you've got her just a tiny bit uptight, Sollux. Okay, a lot uptight but that was neither here nor there. She felt sick to her stomach as he explains what he means, finding the explanation all too familiar.]

That .. sounds way too close for comfort .. Chloe said I just disappeared, but I, like, totally didn't remember even leaving .. not until way later. Wow .. oh wow ..

[She holds a hand over her stomach, feeling terribly queasy.]

Man I do not want to die again.

I don't know if there's a way to guess who its going to happen to or not, it just happens sometimes. I don't even know if they really die or if they just...cease to be like what supposively happened to our universes.
