[first, there’s the panicked gasp of someone going from peacefully asleep to bolt-upright wide awake]

Simon?

[and the soft, muffled chaos of bedcovers being dug through and thrown around]

It’s not- they took her away, stole her in the night, I can hear them- shhhhh, don't speak, don't make a sound, there are pieces but they're broken, everything's broken, she can't-

[-breaks off into something that's half a sob]

-find her, lost and floating everything's floating

[and then, finally, a moment of silence.]




[quiet, miserable:] I can see you.

[kinky-stopwatch.livejournal.com]

Miss, are you alright?

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

Subjective makes for an inaccurate definition. Can't be quantified.

We're all floating.

[Translation: no.]

[kinky-stopwatch.livejournal.com]

Do you know where you are? It might help stop the floating.

I HAVE TO GO NOW BUT I WILL TAG SOON

[encryptedlock]

[No way. No fucking way.

...


Yeah, no, that's definitely her again.]

River? You have returned.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

[Seeing as Lyra showed up thinking she'd been kidnapped, too...
dictated quietly]
You probably weren't stolen by who you think.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

It's a castle.

[DUH IANTO.]

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

[WTFFFFF]

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

[a little blankly, like she's repeating after Lyra:] Doesn't mean what you think.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

I'd heard of other worlds before I came here, but I en't never heard of this one.

[kinky-stopwatch.livejournal.com]

Yes.

But knowing a little about the castle and its inhabitants may give you something to grasp to, unless you make a habit of waking up in strange castles?

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

It's not.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

The story is broken.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

Not what?

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

[YOU NO MAKE SENSE LYRA. :|]





[River will try a different route.] Paradisa.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

[she's likewise confused, but not really worried about it...]
Yeah, that's what they call it. Here.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

I woke up.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The castle brought you here.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

I'm Lyra.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[...BECAUSE LYRA CLEARLY NEEDS CONFIRMATION OF THAT FACT.]

[endofdestiny.livejournal.com]

[River is reminding her of Delirium. Which is - fine. She likes Del. She'd like to know River's name, but just asking seems... weird. So she'll try this.]

My daemon's name is Pan - Pantalaimon.

[ninjasinspace.livejournal.com]

Little soul.

Hi.

[shapeofhersoul.livejournal.com]

Hello! [excited shuffling of feathers]

[kinky-stopwatch.livejournal.com]

You know, there's a girl you might get on with.

She's a little bit of a fan of fruit tea and cake, the messier the better.
