NO EXITS

So Derleth decided, I suppose, that from another life I had, I really need my tall staff from the time I was shaped partially like a dragon.

Which is weird and somewhat exciting until I decided to see if it still had powers in it.

It doesn't. It's... just a staff. I suppose the only use I have for it is if I need to bonk someone on the head. Seems sturdy enough.

So this is the void. I don't recognize the stars, but I suppose I wouldn't if they're from the Earth I've heard so much about. My friend Amilyn could probably tell you everything there is to know about the stars, even these. She's very into them. Saved our skin I wish she was here; she'd make some wild random statement that somehow would make sense later.

OBI-WAN:

I'm sharing a room with a young man named Peter Parker. He seems very nice, but I think I might scare him. He used to have someone else sharing his space, and I'm new. No matter, I intend to put up some sort of curtains between our parts of the room for privacy. I don't suppose you have anything for that?

Ugh, that makes two of my friends gone at the same time. Rude.

I got the low down on me disappearing for six weeks, but what else did I miss?

No. What am I supposed to do now?

Hey, game night was pretty fun. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in any kind of intermural sports league? Something with smaller teams so we could play each other? Anyone know any good sports that would work?

I mean, I know some of us have powers but there's got to be something we can all play.



[PETER PARKER]

Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to practice fusion? Not like, practice being a fusion, more like practice fusing and unfusing in case we ever need to again in the future?

[CARVER, FRIENDS— BUT FILTERED SEPARATELY]

So you met Steever last week. What did you think of them?

I woke up, thought my roommate disappeared, scoffed in frustration and decided to go back to bed before waking up again and checking the network.

What actually happened last night?

Did you make it out of there okay?? I'm so sorry I lost track of you.

ok.thiws works liKE a.scroll right? i can.t find.pentasgram, but THIs looks.similiar.

WHEre am i? the.flying paper.is cool but.l makes no sENse.

Is anyone else's powers acting up? Or just generally different? I have magic. Like MAGIC magic. I'm not sure how to explain. I know my own light powers but I also have additional ones, like a legitimate magician.

Which is far more than I was ever ready for in my life.

Is anyone else in a university made for magic? Where is Derleth?

OFFICIAL TRAILER

Alright, somethings I have discovered. Would possibly be the same for the rest of you.

I died. My light beam attracted a large creature. I only know this because as someone had indicated earlier, it felt like losing consciousness and waking up later. And I only know I died for sure because I stumbled upon my own body while trying to get back to wherever I had thought I had come from.

So, yes, I suppose you do die but it's not permanent although you do lose everything including your clothes.

I will be a little more cautious but I'm putting up my light beam again.

[Mental link with Alina]

I'm already dealing with a sword telepathically talking to me. I don't need another voice. Hope to fuck I'm not going crazy.

I wish Sweeney was still here.

I have... Valkyries. This horn I found when we were looking for the ring conjures Valkyries. I could sense there was magic, but this is not what I thought it would do. Honestly, I don't know what I thought it would do — call horses? — but this was not it.

The other Derleth reminds me of The Upside Down. Do you think they have a Mind Flayer?

[ETA]

I'm going to use my [...] abilities to see if they are hiding anything. I'll try and take Richie with me.

[TEEN FRIENDS FILTER*]

Something happened. I'm okay, I just need you to stay away from me for the rest of the week. I don't really trust myself right now.

*(By teen friends, this filter is specifically for the 16-17 year olds. She has adult friends, but also they're grownups. They'll totally be understanding if she gets hungry and kinda accidentally tries to eat them, right? >.>)

Oh, so, uh, Billy and I were flying around bubbled and it was completely 100% safe but we didn't get very far because we were talking about yetis earlier before we went but then we saw yetis and I'm not sure if that means things we talk about just appear here like an illusion or a not-illusion, so maybe don't talk about anything really dangerous showing up, but we thought at the time maybe we shouldn't bother them.

They were pretty big. And they're kind of walking in our direction, but they might not show up? They could be shy yetis? I mean, it was just a flyby, but when we saw them we thought we should head back and tell everyone here just in case, so we didn't really get a good look around yet.

Does anyone know if yetis talk? Do we need a Yeti Ambassador? I could be a Yeti Ambassador. I didn't realize they were real outside of Disney.

I was just with Geralt and Yennefer. It was night time, I blinked, and now it's this. This building and this device. I know what the letter. I know what Julia says but —

I didn't do this. This shouldn't be possible. I want to go back. I need to go back. They need I NEED THEM Geralt will tear the world apart looking for me, and Yennefer was teaching me how to — I NEED TO GO BACK.

Can someone please help me? Who's that michael fork?

When the Almighty led the Israelites out the Egypt, they were fed mana, which appeared like the morning dew and was collected for the day. It didn't take long before everybody started grumbling about eating only one thing all the time.

I think you know what I'm getting at.

Even the Almighty changed up the diet with quail for some variety. Even so, I don't think I could touch quail ever again.

How does everybody feel about having a banquet where we share one another's meals? I have some delectable crepes with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

The kitchen had pizza waiting for me. I'm not saying this week has to be better than the last, but I would 100% start ANY day with pizza. And no one singing at me. Which isn't something I ever thought I would have to specify.

You know, I don't think I ever said hi. Hi! I'm Peter. Is that is Am I supposed to say more I think there was a me here before, but I don't remember being that me, which is either some part of the Derlethian Effect or there's some temporal distortion when people come and go? Which I don't expect anyone to answer. Just thinking out loud.

Hey SO anything we bring onto campus sticks around, right...?

Hey, who wants to hit up the little carnival they've got going on? The clown barrels are just a touch creepy in a low budget horror movie sort of way but they've got games and who doesn't love a game or two? One of the signs I saw was five tries for a quarter.

They'd have charged a whole dollar for one try back home.

And that water balloon game isn't fun alone so, come on, you guys know you want to. I don't want to just play against the singing strangers in the pastels.

PRIVATE TO CLEO

Want to go ride the Carousel?

What I mean to
Damn

I owe a few apologies for my behavior last week. I don’t want to use the excuse of ‘I wasn’t myself’ because while that’s partially true it also isn’t. So … I am sincerely sorry to those of you I hurt or insulted. I will try to do better.

[FILTER: STEVIE]

I heard about last week. Are you okay? Do you need anything? What can I do?

Filter: Sylvie

It's me. I mean actual me, Alina from definitely not this world.

I just woke up. I think I hurt someone.

Filter: Syd Barrett

I'm so sorry. Are you okay? I wasn't myself and I just woke up and realized. I didn't want to hurt you. Other Alina didn't either, I think she was just angry and wanted to keep you from stopping her again.

Saints, I am so so sorry.

I'm a little bit lost here. I woke up wearing a lot of flannel, and armed to the teeth (which are not pointy).

This is out of my wheelhouse. Anyone have like... interstellar coordinates they need plotted or something? I feel useless and confused,two of my least favorite emotions.

Filter: Sylvie

[after this]

This party was a really bad idea, and I have someone - still a human being - who needs medical help. Are you around?

Graham just came up to me and stated he had no use for a bidet, and he just gave me his bidet. He gave me his BIDET.

Is that the most unusual gift from villagers anyone has ever gotten?

Filter: Tandy and Billy

Am I a terrible person for being resentful that many people got to see people they know while nobody from my world has shown up?

It's just like Crowley to disappear, just when I'm looking for him.

He'll be back. I know he will. He always comes.

I wish my dad were here. I know it isn't Empire City from back home, but it kinda is. He'd probably have a good idea of where to find the best music in the city.

Anyone want to explore the city with me? Maybe we can find some instruments to bring back to Derleth?

(after steve's attempt to ET phone home)

What the hell? I got attacked by a squirrel AND a piece of flying paper.

Anyone want to tell me what's going on? This doodad is AMAZING! Look I can make little people 🤖

I always wanted to visit New York. It being in the 80s makes me feel a little old. Anyone have any suggestions on sights to see?

[Bruce]

I know this isn't exactly your world, but care to take a girl out on the town?

Picked up a joke book somewhere and this is definitely how I'm coping sure.


Two cats tried to swim across the river. One is named "One-two-three," and the other is named "Un-deux-trois." Only one of them made it across. Which one made it?

I have crossed over to new realms before, but this is the first time a piece of paper hit me to explain the whole thing.

I'm Elsa. None of this makes any-- And I am not overly familiar with these communication devices but I learned about them a little in Storybrooke so I hope I did things right to reach other people. Apologies if you feel the cold all of a sudden. I'm - still trying to get my bearings.

[Teenagers]

So who's sticking to their rooms all week and who's going ghost hunting?

Hello? Everyone?

The ship is moving.

You might want to hurry back? It's, uh, well, sailing itself again.

Since, I guess, the dining room chairs are out and furniture that people need in general are not a good idea to use, anyone else know what else can be used for target practice if some of us want to hone our powers to pass the time?

I've already pretty much read everything I could on the network about this Other Alina whose position I'm currently inhabiting and it has been too much of a mind fuck, that I think I need to do something familiar with my time now.

Can't say, though, that it hasn't been nice having my dark hair back. I lost the color and they turned white a long time ago when I had to deal with someone's very dark magic.
