1 missing screw

[sits crosslegged on the floor. She'd done what most others did, wake up and look shocked. Curiosity won out, and when she saw the journal on the floor she had to start reading it.]

Ok, let me make sure I have this straight. I'm in a magical castle? Some sort of nexus between worlds and this journal is how most people communicate?

[holds the journal upside down and shakes it, but nothing comes out]

I should be dead. We failed to save the world. Is this an afterlife of some sort?

[have a very high-pitched trilling coming from seemingly nowhere. after all, the best way to greet someone who believes themselves dead is with a ghost, isn't it?]

If this is the afterlife, then... [a low giggle] We are both right at home.

That is the gist of it, yes. Ask for anything within reason and it will appear, yet something has been taken from you and cannot be regained.

And no, this is not the afterlife. Many have reported returning home for a few weeks or months and thenfinding themselves here once again.

Sure is. See, this afterlife was the afterlife constructed by the lowest winning bidder. Got all the features of a cardboard box filled with holes.

Lucky, lucky you, huh? HA!

... hunh. ... It seems to like taking people who can't save their homes.

You're correct about the castle, but not dead. Strange things happen frequently. Check these pages ... [scribbles in a few numbers so that she can find posts that he found of interest when he was reading up on the castle's messing-with-people-ness]

Also, kitchen on first floor. Lots of people seem to point that out at first.

[This is not the redhead you're looking for.]

Wow, you're taking this pretty well.
