1st sighting--dictated/action;

[aliencatcher]

[Dib's first clue that something is less than right is the fact that his room no longer looks like it's been torn apart by cyborgs. The second clue is that it doesn't really look like his room. There's a book sitting right near the bed. He opens it and flips through the pages, hoping for SOMETHING that will give him a clue. There's... far too much

[She writes:] As you have just arrived, I doubt anyone has had time to do anything to you besides the castle.

[aliencatcher]

[By now, Dib's figured out that Zim's trapped here too and is aware.]

Yeah, figured that one out.

[unironically]

This "Zim" has not been terribly troublesome on a large scale, I believe, if that was what you were concerned about.

[aliencatcher]

Then you don't know him as well as I do. He's a menace.

[unironically]

He is certainly impolite, but the castle is well stocked with protective residents willing to deal with such menaces.

[aliencatcher]

Well, GOOD! Let's deal with him, then!

[unironically]

And who might you be?

[aliencatcher]

I'm Dib. Who are you?

[unironically]

My name is Kanaya Maryam. If your Zim is very dangerous, perhaps you ought to contact the Peace Patrol.

[aliencatcher]

The Peace Patrol? What is that?

[unironically]

An organization to keeping menaces to the smooth progression of day-to-day life in Paradisa running with minimal fuss and interruption, or so I am given to believe. Tell me, have you been oriented adequately?

[aliencatcher]

...not really, no.

[unironically]

You have been drawn to a place known as "Paradisa". This is the short way of referring to your location - particularly, you have been drawn to Cair Paradisa, which as may be guessed is a castle. This castle is apparently magical and people from many different worlds and times have been brought here, apparently to go about their lives while also facing various challenges and dangers from time to time, some posed by other residents and some arranged by the castle and perhaps the world in general itself.

[aliencatcher]

[Let's focus on the important part here.] A magic castle, huh? Cool. How does it work?

[unironically]

I have not heard an especially satisfying explanation so far, to be honest. The general consensus is that the castle is sentient somehow... though there are mages and magic-users here, none of them seem to be able to overpower the castle, or unravel the means it uses to manipulate us.

[aliencatcher]

A sentient castle... huh. [He frowns.] What can it do?
