[ Matilda Wormwood had a doll that didn't belong to her.

She saved it, mind you. Rescued it to bring it back to Miss Honey but then something happened and before she knew it, a castle.

A castle! The kind that Matilda was certain she read of before but couldn't remember where. Just this made a frown make its way to her face, settling there; she never forgot a book before and she was certain she had read of a castle once.

In the time that would have taken a normal grown person to panic, Matilda clutched the doll that wasn't hers and thought of an adventure. That against all odds, she had somehow walked into one of the wonderful worlds she has read about in her books. A world where everything is beautiful and the sky is always blue and where children can play and run and read and not fear being thrown into the Chokey for hours.

She took one step forward and then another before leaning against one of the pillars, watching the world around her with a small, awe-struck smile. A child who somehow found herself in a brand new story.

After a few minutes she realized that adventure or not, Miss Honey would likely worry for her and that Lissy-Doll should be brought back to her. She also realized she as much as the castle was vast and beautiful, she was alone. Looking at the people who wandered about, she couldn't recognize a single one.

Riding up and tidying her skirt she began to walk around, peeking up at people, uncertainty written on her face. She didn't even know what questions should she ask first. Gathering up her courage she decided to begin with a very polite: ]

Excuse me - which way would take me back to where I came from, please?

[Quite cheeky!]

And how are you so sure?

[revolter]

Because I may have done it myself.

[ but that's a secret. ]

[cyan_maid]

[Eyes widen, eyebrows shoot up.]

Really now?

[revolter]

[ a happy nod! ]

I did! I did it with my powers.

[cyan_maid]

[...Jane thought you were normal what is this.]

What, erm, sort of powers are these?

[revolter]

I only got them under control not long ago. Look.

[ she puts her bag on the floor in front of them and steps back. A moment later she waves a finger to make the bag float up and towards her. ]

Neat, isn't it?

[cyan_maid]

[Jane's jaw drops, and her eyes are as wide and round as saucers.]

Oh MY!!!

[revolter]

[ she takes her bag in her arms, smiles a bit. ]

Cool, huh?

[cyan_maid]

That's...that's certainly something!!!

[But if you ever talk about psychic powers and being really smart again she will instantly believe you.]

[revolter]

It's how I rescued the doll without going into the house. I sat on the garage roof and took her away through the window with my powers. I did it for Miss Honey - but now I'm here and she's at home.

[cyan_maid]

[Alright, Jane. Calm down about the little girl with powers for a second and consider that she's probably kind of scared.]

...Well...I'm sure it'll work out. Just make sure to hold onto the doll you saved.

[revolter]

[ a smile followed by a nod. ]

I won't lose her for the world.

[cyan_maid]

Good.

[She's just going to...inch closer to you now. Yeah.]

How - how exactly did you do that before?

[revolter]

I do it with my eyes. I just...feel warm and then I concentrate and it just happens. Do you want to see it again?

[cyan_maid]

[That...doesn't sound safe.]

Um! I think I'm good! Only need to see something like that once, after all!
