Well gosh, y'all! I guess this is what you'd call an overflow post!

[FOURTH WALL KICKOFF CONTINUATIONS to avoid captcha / the old post filling. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.]

s-shirley...

[loveispowah]

Ah-Lelouch . . .

[thekingsgambit]

A-Aa, I wasn't expecting...

[loveispowah]

Wasn't expecting . . . ? Ah-what happened to your uniform?

[thekingsgambit]

Uniform... ? You mean Ashford's?

[Noticing for the first time, amid the foggy sorting out of OMG YOU'RE NOT DEAD of a moment ago, the coral outfit she's wearing. Tone still a bit soft and held in longer pauses of uncertainty and disbelief.]

... Or did you mean something more like yours?

[loveispowah]

Ashford-? I meant Aather. Like mine, yeah. Yours is Peridot, right?

[thekingsgambit]

Peridot? Shirley... I do not understand what you are referring to.

[loveispowah]

Huh? I mean . . . your team. In Aather.

[thekingsgambit]

Aather?

[Breathes a short sigh of relief. So she has been somewhere where she put every once of her energy into living, as she always had.]

Ah, so that is where you are from. I see.

[Pauses]

This is going to be confusing, but I am not the one you know there. This place has brought you here by accident.

[loveispowah]

By accident? How?

[thekingsgambit]

An attempt to resolve a malfunction in this place. It as resulted in the pathways being left open to other worlds. You should be able to return soon.

[loveispowah]

Ah, well that's good. I don't want to worry my team.

[thekingsgambit]

What are they like?
