Dear Gil,

I hope that you are doing well, back in your own life and your own time. I can't even be sure this will reach you, but I'm going to try.

I asked you before what, if anything, had changed on your return. But I guess that's a moot point. It is what it is, as the young people like to say.

I've been doing a lot of thinking. I know my wish to escape my situation was a heartfelt one, but it was also heat of the moment, bred by anger at someone I trusted, who made me feel... well, expendable.

But what it comes down to is this. Am I willing to hold on to that anger for any length of time and endure the consequences? No, I don't think so. Bottom line I'm a Queen's man, and always will be.

I need to go home. I wish to be home again...

Best luck to you, Gil. Maybe we'll meet again some day.

James

It looks like we're not leaving right away, so maybe this would be a good time to get some basic skills down, if anyone is interested in learning to shoot? First, can I talk to some of the magic people, to see what can be done about firearms and ammunition? I know some of us are armed. I've seen assorted weaponry here. But bullets aren't infinite, obviously, and we will need a reliable source.

All of a sudden Pyewacket and I are back in New York. I wasn't wishing upon a star nor wishing anything at all and we're at home, just as quickly as we had found ourselves in Enchantia. I've racked my brain for clues if anything I was doing led to this but I don't see how.

The potential good news is that perhaps no one else will be turned into stone. I wish everyone success with the quest.

Gil

For those I haven't yet met, I'm Jaime.

I had a talk with Hermione about how we need to have a campaign meeting. My impression from what I see in the journal is that this group is moving ahead, greeting those who arrive in a happenstance manner, and go on from there. Perhaps those of us who are better at verbal communication should make most of the explanations. Perhaps we need to sort through some basic concerns as a group.

Since no one else has suggested this, I'll say a two o'clock meeting the day following the party. Attend, even if you don't feel like you want to say anything or contribute actively. This concerns everyone so you should at least listen because all of our futures matter here.

Would you please list your name after this, whether you are a wizard/witch or not, any talents you have which might be helpful here.

Let me start.

Jaime Lannister
Not magical
Served as a knight and military commander where I came from, therefore can ride, wield swords and daggers, used to living rough and hard travel

Okay, so I could get used to that sleeping in a bed thing. That's probably a bad thing. It might be awhile before we hit another town.

Has anyone seen a cell phone around? I think I lost mine, and this is not the type of place I fancy loosing my cell phone in. No offense.


I'm Alec, by the way. Alec Lightwood. Hi. So... My cell phone. Kinda need it please.
