Insofar that I am aware.

I... only recall going about my business, only to appear before a home, our school grounds nowhere in sight. And that is where it began.

What is this, an extreme kidnapping?

[ what ]

"A kidnapping within a kidnapping", as another put it. Even stranger, it felt as though we were gone for days, but upon our return, only mere hours had passed.

Is that so...?

Maybe you were drugged with something.

Drugged? You could not possibly mean that.

I'm trying to think of a reasonable explanation here.

I know that when the school pulls you from where you're from, time stops. Maybe the opposite happened?

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-06-23 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... Do you suspect we were pulled to a different world?

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-23 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
If not that, then maybe something similar... but it's difficult to say for sure.

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-06-23 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be a plausible explanation, as the flow of time 'twixt worlds is an ever fluctuating thing... but you are right. It is impossible to say, as we do not know the manner which we were brought there.

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-23 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And the only way to know for sure is... something I'd prefer not to happen again.

[ she

doesn't want more people to get kidnapped to who knows where? ]

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-06-23 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite. It... was truly awful—I can only pray others will never have to experience what we had, and I do not feel doing so is worth discovering the hows.

... I'm sorry. For whatever it was. I won't make you talk about it.

[ but she'll pat his shoulder again. ]

... Thank you, Sally. In time, I will be better, both in mind and body. We will simply need to be more prepared for what is to come.

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-24 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... right.

And if it happens again-- and hopefully it won't, but. People will be a bit more prepared now.

Aye—that is what I am aiming to do, so I shall work on receiving more vouchers for you. I know not if I can ever prevent these atrocities from occurring again, but at the very least, I can offer relief to another.

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-24 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she nods. ]

And I think other people are looking into healing too, so hopefully between all of you, it'll be covered.

That is a relief to hear, truly. 'Tis my hope we can all pool our resources together.

[personal profile] departea 2021-06-25 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmhm. Everyone has been pretty good with combining their resources, it's been very nice.
