Ah... hey everyone, it's Ambrose. I was Milo for a while there but I'm back to being me and one hundred percent less tree-like. So, I've gotta ask do we uh. I mean, some other folks've gotta be wondering too so--

[ a slight pause, then in a rush: ]

What's the least harmful way we can test for immortality? Cuz I wouldn't put it past the Arcana to leave people stuck with that.

[ he's totally not asking for a friend, okay. ]

Speaking of Arcana: I'd like to meet with all the folks who've been Marked by the Fool - he calls himself Don Orlea - so maybe we can coordinate or. Something. Dunno if we want to do it all together or what but either way, I'll provide snacks.

You're from Oz? [McCree's voice is both startled and excited.] Well, hot damn! It's a bit before my time, but I know there's a mighty fine movie about it, with all sortsa singin'. Never read th' books myself.

[He'd never been much of a reader as a kid, especially not antique books about little girls and munchkins and witches.]

A version of it, apparently. Elphaba's from another, but...technically I'm from around 2010 on Earth, my friend DG came over in 2007 and it's been about three annuals. [ pause. ] And then I've been Travelling for three years so it all gets complicated. But yes, Oz, shiny slippers and witches and all that. And we're fond of singing.

Lotsa people around here from the late twentieth, early twenty-first centuries. [thoughtfully] DG ... she didn't happen ta be from Kansas, did she?

[wholeheaded]

...it's complicated. She was born in the O.Z. but had to be raised in Kansas because her sister had been possessed by a wicked witch and yes she's named after her great-great-whatever granny Dorothy. But yes, before I started Travelling basically all I knew about the Otherside was Kansas.
