Final Casefile: Fourth Wall [Action]

[quicktoanger]

Months of preparation, weeks of repair, and almost a year of planning were finally coming to fruition. Little Luceti was ready for the first test run. I had attuned every building, every fixture, every curve of the earth and bend of the rivers, and if I did it just right...

I focused. Concentrated on the village. And then...

Then my senses were assaulted. It was like Little Chicago, if I were sensing the entire city in one place. I reeled back and fell to the floor, losing my connection with the model, my head pounding.

"The hell?"

In a daze, I clambered to my feet. After taking a moment to keep my balance and muscle through the head-rush, I went to the window and peered out...

And an entire throng of people was outside.

People without wings.

I threw on my duster, grabbed my blasting rod and my revolver, and headed outside to see just what the hell was happening.

[When heading outside, Harry may come across a potentially recognisable witch sitting at a nearby bench, going in her head through all of the possibilities as to why the Travelling Spell not only did not take her to the Isle of Naboombu but also somehow took her clean off the bed and led her to a completely different place with indeterminable wildlife and people with wings. Do try and straighten her out.]

HAD TO

[quicktoanger]

Okay. That person on the bench looked really familiar.

In fact, I was almost completely certain I had her pinned down to one of three people, but I had to get it right.

I had to think. The way she held herself, the style of her clothing...

"Jessica Fletcher?"

[hastheknowhow]

[She looks up, confirming that this man is indeed addressing her... somehow?]

I beg your pardon?

[quicktoanger]

"Ooh. Uh. Sorry, my mistake."

Okay. Somehow I figured I didn't get three strikes.

"Eglantine Price?"

[hastheknowhow]

[Oh alright it was just a mista- never mind that just snapped her head immediately back up.]

... How do you know that?

[quicktoanger]

Good going, Harry.

"Uh. Well. This place is... weird. Anyway, sorry about the confusing entry, but... welcome to Luceti."

[hastheknowhow]

["Weird" is not quite enough to stop her from looking at you sidelong, sir.]

Luceti?

[quicktoanger]

"This village. It's called Luceti. It's sort of..."

Hmm.

Eh, she was a witch, right? She could take it.

"On another world?"

[hastheknowhow]

Another worl-?

[Wait a minute. She needs to talk things over with herself to confirm this...]

But... the knob... it must have worked... it should have been going straight to Naboombu!

[quicktoanger]

"Your magic didn't do this. For what it's worth, the knob did work."
