[Patty isn't a stranger to waking up in peculiar places. In fact, she's awoken in places far stranger than this. The first thing she noticed was the nostalgic, salty smell of the sea. Then, the crash of waves that were rocking her little 'boat' back and forth. It was really quite calming. However, all dreams must come to an end and it wasn't long before she regained consciousness entirely to realize that she was in a bit of a pickle.

She was in a washtub. In the middle of an ocean. Wearing a plain white dress. ... Well, it could always be worse. Not quite noticing the book beside her just yet, she begins to speak.]

Oooh, my head... I know that when it's time to abandon ship and you're out of lifeboats, you should float along in a powder keg, but I've never heard of washtub boats before.

Ah, looks like I'm caught up the creek without a paddle. [Silence, then a little crackle in the microphone.] ...This book will do, ya know!

[What follows is a very loud splash, as Patty dunks the journal into the water to try and paddle her way to shore. This... may take a while.]

[For a moment, there's silence. And then...]

How'd we get to another world? You'd think I'd notice a thing like that.

I think it's called "shifting". Ta be entirely honest with ya, I don't understand how it works either, it just does.

But if we're on another world, who will stop Duke?

[Adephagos, stopping Duke. That confirms the point in time she's been pulled from without him even having to ask.]

Ya don't need to worry about that! Duke has been here before himself. Best way ta think about it is to think that time stops back home!

Time... stops? And Duke was here? Then, we can just go home?

Not exactly. Goin' home is the hard part, it just seems ta happen to people at random.

Because of that... Shifting thing?

Exactly!

Don't worry, before ya know it you'll be actin' like you've been here forever! It's not too bad once ya get used to it!

[What follows is a pretty deep, weary sigh.]

Guess that means I should read that Guide, then... So where are you, old man? Are you coming to meet with me?

No way! You can make yer own way here! If ya get to the beach there's a teleporter, it'll bring you straight to the village. When you get there then I'll come find ya.

[So mean, old man. She just smirks into the camera.]

It's a deal, then! You'd better be there when I arrive, ya know. If you're not, I'll leave no stone unturned until I find you!

That wouldn't be hard ta do either, I live in house twelve. I'm guessin' yer gonna need a place ta stay yourself?

[She thinks about that for a moment, but then it hits her. "Duke has been here before himself", "It's not too bad once ya get used to it", "I live in house twelve"...]

Old man... How long have you been here?

That's not important ta know, is it? [he pauses, sighing.] Around two years now.

Two years?! [fslkjfdklsjf]

But I saw you yesterday!

That'd be the whole "messed up time difference" thing I mentioned before. [It really doesn't seem to bother him, maybe he's just used to it now.]

Oh... I guess that makes sense? [Sort of. Except she doesn't really get it just yet.]

Who else is here? Is Yuri here?

Nope. At the moment it's just you, me and a certain someone ya really don't wanna know about.

You know saying something like that is only going to make me more curious.~

Alexei is here.

[Straight to the point, no messing around.]

[Oh, she really didn't want to know about this. She can't say she wasn't warned, though.]

Alexei? But he's... [... Dead?]

Remember what I just said about magical time difference thing? Yeah, it can pull out dead people too.

That's... [An incredibly eerie concept, really. Her first thought goes to Cypher, but she hastily brushes it off again. She can't think like that.]

He hasn't been giving you any trouble, has he?

Nope! He's been a good boy, might even earn himself a gold star if he keeps it up. He has been here fer quite a while though.

[Alexei? A good boy? That's gotta be some kind of ruse.]

Not a lotta people here to walk all over, I suppose. And nothing to gain from it, if we're all stuck in the same net.
