[Pushes off the covers and rubs her eyes--and freezes. This is not her house. How did she get here?! Runs downstairs in her nightie.]

Hello? Excuse me, where am I? Oh...

[Something feels wrong. Her magic is gone! And where in the world is her brother?!

What's this thing? Hitting a button makes things play back... okay... gives it a try]

Excuse me, if

You are an acquaintance of the young magus?

[properwhitemage]

Yes, sir. I'm his twin sister. Do you know where he is right now?

[see_time_pass]

Twins? Are you magi as well?

As I recall he lives on 1448 Mitchell Road. The streets are well marked and it shouldn't be difficult to find.

[properwhitemage]

Yes, I'm a white mage and he's a black mage.

Thank you very much for your help, sir! May I ask your name?

[prodigious_mage]

Sis! You're actually he --

Uhh. I mean. Sheesh, why the heck didya follow me? You ruin all my fun.

[properwhitemage]

Palom! Are you all right? What is this place?

[prodigious_mage]

Yeah, I'm fine! I should be asking you that . . . It's really weird, isn't it? This is some sort of magic prison -- They kidnap people from all different worlds and stick them here and pretend they've lived here all their lives. And they've probably stolen your magic, too, right?

Where did you end up? I'll come find you.

[properwhitemage]

Yes, I can't even feel my magic... um... hold on.

I'm at 772 Bunker Lane. Why are they doing this, Palom? How many other people are in this place?

[rainbowbrush]

You know that brat Palom?

[properwhitemage]

Oh, dear... you've met him? I'm so sorry, he really doesn't understand manners. Yes, Palom is my twin brother.

[rainbowbrush]

Met him? He threw mud at me! Twice! And I totally didn't provoke him into it by drawing fireballs to attack him, no way.

You're his sister? Do you know magic too?

[properwhitemage]

Yes, Palom is a black mage and I'm a white mage.

I'm afraid that does sound like him. But what do you mean by 'drawing fireballs to attack him?'
