Someone had a realization [Late in the first day of the Jaunt]

So um. Just how much are worlds we go to like the ones we came from?

Like, you know, this is California. I just figured that out. But there aren't any cities in California called Santa Carlita, that I remember. But it's still California, so some things are the same.

Right?

Hey, if you want people who can roll with 'weird,' where better to go to, right?

[mytearsaremine]

Japan, probably. You should hear some of the stuff the other kids from there talk about.

I don't think we've met. I'm Jolie.

[sees_red]

Jason. I'm new.

Hey. Nice to meet you. I mean, as nice as it is to meet anyone when you're kidnapped to play a big, weird, time-traveling game for the personification of ideas.

I keep getting that. Hey, we're all in this together, right? If something like this is going to happen, I'm really glad I'm not going through it alone.

I think the point of saying stuff like that is that we'd rather not be going through it at all and feel bad that now you have to, too, not that we'd rather go through it alone.
