Oh. It looks like I've wound up back here somehow.

[He peers around Jezebel's room curiously. Kid!Jezebel has already managed to liberate one of Jezebel's rabbits and is holding him, petting his head absentmindedly.]

I wonder if anyone knows the way for me to get back home? I'm sure Mother will be worried if I've gone missing again...

If you're back here, you must be mad. My father is a doctor and I think this entire great town is like an asylum for the mad. But I'm not mad: I'm only visiting because my father is here.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'm not mad. I'm just lost. I got lost here once before, by accident. I don't mean to keep winding up here.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you ought to pay more attention to where you're going, then.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

But I didn't go anywhere at all. I just...am here.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, then you went here, even if you didn't go anywhere.

It makes perfect sense to me.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

But I don't remember any of that!

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you really are mad. Have you ever thought of that?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Forgetting things doesn't make a person mad!

...does it?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I rather think it might, if you forget too many things or if you forget what things are real and what things aren't.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

But I do know what's real!

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Well, then, perhaps you're not completely mad yet.

Are you just going to sit there with that rabbit all day?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No...I was hoping I could find someone who knew how to get home. There was a nice man who helped me last time.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It's rather too bad he's not here again, then.

What's your name, anyway?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

My name's Jezebel! What's yours?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

That's an odd name.

My name is Cain.

Although, well, I suppose we both do have names out of the Old Testament, and that's a bit odd itself, isn't it?

[pointing at the rabbit]

What's it's name?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I just found him here. I thought he could use some company.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Miss? So sorry, but the doctor won't be pleased if he notices one of his patients took his device. Don't you worry, he'll give you good directions and take you back to your mommy.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is a doctor's office, then? That's good. At least now I know why I'm here.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Do you...often go missing?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Only once before...a nice man helped me then. I didn't mean to get lost again, but I suppose I am.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

No, I'm sure you didn't mean to. It'll be all right, though. Has anyone helped you yet today?

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

No...no, not yet. There seem to be lots of lost children here today. So perhaps everyone is out helping them get home.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I suppose that could be, yes. Where is home for you? Perhaps I can help you to find the way.

[delilahs-reaper.livejournal.com]

Home is in Berkshire. Is that near here?
