... Down down down she went










Just arrived and feeling dizzy?
Mind confused and brain all fizzy?
I'm not surprised you're in a tizzy!

But welcome travelers from worlds of old
You'll find our town a welcome home
And if your wandering bones are cold,
Why not join us down The Rabbit Hole?







[ooc: Welcome everyone to Burby! Upon arrival, your character may see this sign outside of the impressive hotel near the centre square, The Rabbit Hole. To welcome the new guests, the proprietress of this fine establishment has set up an informal tea in the main lobby. Feel free to wander in and mingle amongst the other travelers. Tea, wine, and refreshments provided!]

[Alester gives Don Quixote a what-is-your-problem look, but responds to Lin.]

But what if we weren't taken, not purposefully? Our transportation could have been due to some sort of freak magical confluence.

[ Lin considers this, but only for a moment, because she can't even conceive of it. ] I've never heard of such a thing. Magic is a game for children.

For children? I do not wish to contradict you, my lady, but sorcery is no game for children. It is a black, ungodly art. [pointed look at Alester. Sorry, dude. You lost the Don Quixote Headcanon lotto.]

[Alester gives Lin a brief puzzled frown because what she's said comes off to him like 'physics is for children' which is just a weird thing to say, but he focuses on Don Quixote. He's gone a little pale--all he did was share his theory so it's starting to feel like the bearded man knows something about him that he shouldn't. Plus there's the 'black, ungodly art' thing but he's not touching that one.]

So what do you think happened?

It's not real is what I meant. Perhaps wherever you come from -- [ She's reluctant to say that it might be somewhere totally different, but there seems no other conclusion. ] -- but not in my country. If one of my officers offered that explanation, I'd tell him to stop being so ridiculous.

But do share your theory, Don.
