Action;1766 Beaver Street
[While finding herself in strange new settings isn't very surprising at all, waking up in bed with completely different clothes is. So if her brand new family doesn't hear her in her room going "What? What? What??" like some sort of one-trick parrot, or the occasional "Hello?" as she wanders through the house, they'll find her still in her pajamas, investigating the fridge. Open, close. Open...close. Open--ooh is that an apple?]

I wonder who made this box so cold?

Phone
--'s this? Is it a gadget? Maybe if I do something it'll talk! Hmm...

[This is followed by the sound of her apparently playing with the dial.]

Hello? Hello? Mister Gadget, can you hear me? I wonder if Meg would know how it worked.

[waffuport]

Oh...so it's on a Mayfield continent maybe?

[She'll figure it out eventually. Hopefully.]

[commentboxtroll]

Or something called America. [One or the other.] It doesn't matter. Where are you?

[waffuport]

America? [That's as new as Mayfield! Oh well.] Um, I'm in someone's house! I hope they don't mind.

[commentboxtroll]

They won't. It's your house now, too.

[Is there any way to explain this without it sounding horrible? No. Not really. Aw well.]

Mayfield's kidnapped you like it has the rest of us. Whatever house you're in, that's the family they've dropped you into.

[waffuport]

It is? [But wait--] Kidnapped?? But, but how did everybody get kidnapped? We were in different parts of the world before! Is Amerifield magic?

[commentboxtroll]

Could be that. It's taken people from all over the place. Different worlds, different times. Being in different parts of the world wouldn't matter.

[waffuport]

Wow, really? It's better at teleporting than I am then...Do you think I could send everybody home? Though I don't know where anywhere is from here.

[commentboxtroll]

Send them... [Her rune! Of course! But that's getting ahead of themselves.] Maybe, but you'll find it missing right now.

[waffuport]

...It's missing? [Wait wait she's gotta check this. Let's see, let's see, uhh...] Oh...that's strange. I wonder where it went?

[commentboxtroll]

The town took it away.

[waffuport]

.................It's like me and Jeane combined!

[commentboxtroll]

...uh. [wut] It's like... what?

[Unsure if he wants to try and imagine what that would look like.]

[waffuport]

Well, if it can bring all of us here it's kind of like me, but it can take away runes too, and that's something Jeane can do! Right?

[Simple logic, Caesar!]

[commentboxtroll]

[Depends on how you define simple!]

Oh. [Alright, alright, he can see where she'd get that idea.] I guess it is like that.

[waffuport]

Yes! [It's possible to define simple?]

Do you think if I ask nicely this place will give my rune back?

[commentboxtroll]

[You'd think so.]

Doubt it. [Guess who isn't getting told about the post office.] But you'll get it back eventually. You'll just have to wait.

[waffuport]

[What no how will she get her mail!] Well, I guess I can wait...though I don't know how I can help people if I don't have my rune.

[commentboxtroll]

Just worry about yourself for now. You can think about helping others later.

Do me a favor and look outside at the numbers on the house you're in, then the street sign, and tell me what they say.

[waffuport]

Okay! I can do that.

[And this quest will take just a little longer than necessary. But she returns!]

It says 1 7 6 6 on the house! And there was a sign that said Beaver Street! Do you think there's beavers here?

[commentboxtroll]

[He makes a note. That shouldn't be too hard to find.]

Beavers? I haven't seen any dams in town, so probably not.

[waffuport]

Really? I would've liked to meet a beaver...oh, but seeing you again is good too!

[commentboxtroll]

[Good to know he ranks up there with beavers, Viki. :|]

I'm at 847 Goldberg Street. [What else does he need to tell her... oh.] And don't touch the milk that gets left on the doorsteps. It's all poisonous.

[waffuport]

[Hey hey beavers are awesome. Like ducks. Ducks are awesome too.]

Goldberg? That's like Silverberg! I--[wait] P-p-p-poison???

[commentboxtroll]

It is, yeah. [Sigh.] Yes. Poison. Mayfield is a dangerous place, Viki.

[waffuport]

But then...why would they poison the milk? Did they poison all of it? I hope nobody drinks it, that'd be bad...!
