[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..]

[Enthusiasm is something Liz has always had in spades, and even more so now that she appears to be amongst the living again. Chloe sounds real enough and Liz was feeling things and this was all kinda alfadhlfjadl for Liz right now.]

Umm, yeah, sure ..

[She waits patiently, looking around at the room that is supposed to be hers for the time being with a bright smile.]

Hmm? Oh .. ummm .. lemme look .. Is there, like, a number or something?

[She is looking around rather avidly before moving toward the door of her room. There is a moment of trepidation as she extends one hand to the knob but it flees entirely as her fingers settle onto the cool metal.]

OH. MY. GOD!!! I'm touching the door knob!! I'm totally touching the door knob, like, right now!

[The happiness is in her words and the happy little bounce she gives before turning the knob and stepping out into the hall.]

Whoa .. it's like .. a real life castle or something .. This is, like, totally awesome!! Umm .. okay .. number or something, right? OH! 2133 .. is that what you mean??

[Another light laugh, relief clear in her tone. She's definitely happy for her. Liz deserved a second chance at life. Chloe only hope it lasted long enough to be meaningful.]

Just be careful, okay? Most of the people are cool here, but... not all of them.

R-Really? Awesome! We're on the same floor. I'm in 2119.

[Shuffling sounds can be heard--fabric and footsteps and movement from the journal. Then Chloe sees Liz in the hall and smiles.]

Hey.

[She's closing the distance between them--and closing her journal--so she can give her friend that hug, now.]

[Liz is beginning to understand Chloe's concern, what with the man-eating plants, animals and the weird labyrintine tunnels beneath the Keep.]

I'll be careful, Chloe .. I'm not in any hurry to see myself hurt.

[Then Liz is beaming as Chloe says they're on the same floor and her eyes are peeled as she waits in the hall. She's a bundle of excited qnd anxious nerves, shifting from foot to foot until she sees her friend approaching down the hall.]

CHLOE!!

[She rushes at her friend, arms wide for a hug she's dying for. Let's see how well this goes, eh? :D]

[Chuckling slightly, Chloe moves in to both give and receive that hug.]

Liz!

[Liz reaches Chloe and embraces her! It's a success!!! :D She is practically bubbling over with glee right now, hopping in place with Chloe tightly glomped upon.]

Oh. MY. GOD!! This is so cool!! Chloe, oh my god!

[She releases her friend and grasps her hands in her own, beaming.]

[Chloe is actually taken by surprise, then laughs gleefully for Liz's benefit. Holding Liz just as tightly--because she could--Chloe grinned widely back when Liz pulls away to grasp her hands.]

I'm happy for you! This is so awesome, Liz.

[She squeezed Liz's hands with meaning.]

You deserve this.

[Liz just squeezes Chloe, giving a happy bounce in place.]

Chloe, this is like, totally unreal! I never thought I'd get another chance to actually, like, interact and be with people again!!

[She pulls back, beaming widely at her friend.]

This Deior guy has to be, like, the coolest wizard ever!

[Laughing slightly, Chloe hates to add her paranoia to something so remarkably wonderful for her friend. She pulls Liz into another short hug, then motions for the peppy girl to follow her into her room so they might talk behind closed doors.]

He may not be a wizard. No one knows who or what he is. And...he's kind of gray in the whole good guy or bad guy scale. I-it's kind of like being at Lyle House all over again.

[Opening the door to her room, Chloe nods and motions Liz to go in first.]

[Liz blinks as Chloe hugs her again briefly and then gestures to follow her, but she does so. Chloe has been here longer and knows what is going on, after all.

Once in her friends' room with the door properly closed, Liz looks at her and listens, pushing back onto her bed with an air of open curiosity.]

So... we're right back in the same thing again?

[There just might be a palpable tension in Liz now, and a slight tremor to her voice. Her smile has gone completely as she searches Chloe's face for any hints or answers.]

I--I'm sorry. I don't want to frighten you or--or be the bearer of bad news. I-it's just that--

Well, it seems similar, doesn't it? We're brought here, given cells. No idea why we're hear except a letter that says our worlds were destroyed.

Our world, Liz. With no hint of evidence. Even then, who is to say that can't be faked? After everything the Edison Group put us through, I'm not so willing to believe everything I'm told.

This place is strange, Liz.

[Liz stares at her friend, chewing on her lower lip anxiously. She listens silently as Chloe works through her thoughts, her own brows knitting in response.]

I think it'd be awful hard to make worlds disappear...

[She looks at Chloe then, her blue eyes intense.]

And that's, like, the thing... It's not just us, but everyone. All the people from other places and times. You'd think it'd be hard to destroy everything.

[They had Liz killed. Believe me, she's willing to be doubtful.]

Exactly. So Derek and I have been trying to explore and figure things out. Only... no matter what we do, it only brings up more questions. We haven't gotten a single answer yet.

[Chloe frowns, her expression showing her how vexing it was.]

O-oh. And our powers have been weakened. Tampered with or something. It may be a little harder for you to control things. I--I'm sorry.
