. . . Stories. This is a story, isn't it? Everything's real, and yet it's not real, and I don't know what's going on! Why can't life just be normal for once, instead of crazy things with me lucid at all times! The evil people who get burnt at the stake in the

Now, now. I'm sure there's nothing to be upset about.

[chalk_witch]

Who are you?

[addedtoyourdebt]

You don't recognize your queen?

Well, it certainly wouldn't be magnanimous of a royal to blame a child for a shortcoming of that sort.

At any rate, I assure you, witch burning is the sort of wasteful policy my predecessors might have encouraged. Under my regime, precious political resources would not be expended in such a manner so counter to progress.

[chalk_witch]

. . . Weren't you male before?

[thelostseraph]

You are unaffected as well, child?

I confess, I do not fully understand what is happening.

[chalk_witch]

I don't know and it's so frustrating because I haven't ever seen anything like it!

[thelostseraph]

One man has become a vampire, another a queen. Is there any common thread binding these transformations?

[chalk_witch]

They're stories. They're all stories.

[heroic_commoner]

You're a witch?

[heroic_commoner]

No, sorry. I'm Alice.

[chalk_witch]

[a_normal_human]

What are you talking about, Tiffany-san?

...You don't think...another strange occurrence is going on throughout the island?

[chalk_witch]

Haruhi just said she was Alice. I don't get it!

[a_normal_human]

Yeah...and she doesn't remember anything about us, it seems like.

I'm almost positive that this is Haruhi. But I feel like she's been kidnapped somewhere and been replaced with a completely different person.

[regina_incendia]

Someone else coming to the same conclusion about all this is quite reassuring.

[chalk_witch]

People forget who they are in favor of their storybook personas. It's . . .

[regina_incendia]

Stupid. It is stupid.

Just another ridiculous game made by the island.

The Queen of Fairies back at the Chalk, she did this to people. She made them believe they were living in a dream. Except, they weren't the nice dreams. They were the dreams where you woke up and never wanted to sleep again.
