[The earth rumbles and shakes. OH MY GOD, EARTHQUAKE!!!

Except. If you're on the west side of town, you may notice a new addition.



While the rest of Burby is bright and sunny, the sky above the mansion is cloudy.

A young girl peeks hesitantly out the window. Will you come knock on the door?]

"Are all of your friends tiny goths?" Shirley wanted to know. Wouldn't you?

[13pitchblackcats]

"Tiny goths?" Misery clearly doesn't have any idea what Shirley's on about. "I don't know any of those."

[genkigoth]

"I don't think I do either." But Ruby is much more concerned about the idea that none of their other friends are here. "I hope the others are okay..."

Shirley might get a bit of a look.

"Your other friends are probably at home. Although maybe without their house," Jane tries to reassure.

[nopolicelikeholmes]

Jane gets a bit of a look. What are you doing trying to tell these tiny goths that their friends are homeless now?!

"I hope they're coping with that well."

[13pitchblackcats]

"They don't have a home?!"

It's not quite a shriek, but it's close.

[genkigoth]

Ruby puts her hands to her face in horror.

"That's terrible!!!"

[watsonyourmind]

Oh no Jane has broken everything.

"No, no, um..." Okay, that was exactly what she had said. "...I'm sure they'll be okay. They probably won't even notice you left!"

Jane has never really espoused this theory, but she hopes that these people buy it.

[13pitchblackcats]

No, everything is still broken.

"They'll notice that the house is gone!"

[nopolicelikeholmes]

Maybe Shirley will help. Don't say she never did anything nice for you, Jane.

"No, I think Jane means that you might return to the same point in time from which you left." She shrugs. "It's no less probable than your returning at any other time."
