[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

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?!]

*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.

[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!!]

Well, I guess that answers that .. I mean, like, the whole .. words appearing in the book as you talk thing. I wasn't sure if I got, like, the newest edition of 'The Dead Girl's Journal' or if this was all inclusive in every version.

[But now you have him thinking.]
Do wizards do stuff like this? Is that normal?
Reply
[That's what Liz does .. gets people using their brain pans!]
Well, the wizards I know, no .. but he was just a teenager and still, like, learning stuff. I don't know if it's something wizards would, like, normally do .. but I think it's something an experienced or older wizard might do. I mean, it's just as likely as anything else, isn't it?

[Excuse Chloe as she gasps over here.]
Y-you're... you're alive?
[Yes, she sounds ecstatic about that... but then her tone changes at the end of her question to one of hesitance and uncertainty. Was it possible?]

CHLOE!! CHLOE!! Oh my god!! You're here too?! I knew there wasn't anything to worry about! OH. EM. GEE! Like, this is suddenly SO much less unfortunate! Where are you guys?! Everyone is here, right?
[She is in hardcore :D mode just now.]
[And then she is bouncing.]
OH MY GOD, I KNOW!!!! Chloe .. CHLOE .. I'm holding the book. It's in my hand and I'm not using my powers or anything! I can see my hands! Like, this is totally unreal!!

[A bit of a laugh.]
Yeah, I'm here. Not--not everyone is, though. So far it's just you, me, and Derek.
[She frowns on her end, clearly worried, but knowing Liz she wouldn't appear too down-heartened by this. She hoped.]
You--you can touch it?
[And there's awe in Chloe's voice right now. Whatever was going on, it had better not be some cruel joke, because Chloe didn't want Liz upset later on once they got home. If Liz would want to go home. Worry creases between Chloe's brows. She distinctly remembers a conversation about boys they had, and how cheated she assumed Liz must feel to never really experience all that. If someone was messing with Liz, Chloe would not be a happy camper.]

[There is only the briefest of pauses as Chloe tells her who's here.]
Oh .. well, that's two more than I thought were here just a few minutes ago! And if, like, we're here now then Tori and Simon could show up at any minute.
[See? She's totally positive about all this .. for now.]
[Then she bobs her head and even if Chloe can't see her, the exuberance will practically fling itself off the pages at her friend.]
YES! Like, touch touch! Like, I'm holding the journal in my hands right now! I'm bouncing up and down .. on the ground .. and feel the floor under my feet.
[She hadn't felt for a pulse or anything yet, though. Who would think of something like that under the circumstances?!]
Reply
[First Abeni and now this girl, there had to be reason Deior brought people back to life here.]
Reply
Me too? Were other people brought back from the dead or something?
Reply
[Well, not completely fine. She's still dealing with some issues here but he's trying to help her through that.]
Reply
We she, like, just dead or was she, like, a ghost?
[It's an important distinction .. maybe this place was bringing back ghosts, or maybe it was bringing back anyone that was dead overall. Maybe it had nothing to do with any of that .. Liz had no idea, but it might be important to know ..]

And then she mentions the Edison Group, and yeah, it has to be her.]
Liz?
[Part of him's still trying not to get his hopes up, because after months of being here, it'd started feeling like it'd be too much to hope that he'd get to see not only someone from his world, but one of the few he actually likes.]

DEREK?! OH. EM. GEE!! Derrek, where are you?! Chloe said you were here too, but oh my GOD!!
[Can you hear her bouncing, Derek? Cause she's quite literally bouncing in place right now.]
Reply
You talked to Chloe? Good.
[As for where he is...well, he's pretty much hiding. But for Liz, he'll venture out.]
I'm on the second floor of the barracks. Where're you?
Reply
Yeah, she asked where I was .. umm, but I'm not sure what floor I'm on.
[She pauses a moment to look around then recalls the number outside her door.]
OH!! There's a number on my door .. ummm .. 2133. That help you at all?
