Once Upon a Time...

They likely felt the world shift, a fragmentation of all they thought they knew. It was the way a fictional character might feel if they could feel every page turn in the book they lived in. It was the beginning of a new story and that meant an end to an old one and they would each feel that.

To some it would feel like they had just died. To others, it would feel like they had just been born. To many, it would feel like both at the same time. It all really depended on who they were and what they were leaving behind.

In any case, this world had something New appear in it. After lightning crackled in the evening sky without any storm fueling it, they would find themselves waking up in the streets of a small town called Burgess. It was a perfectly ordinary Pennsylvania town, a place where the modern mixed with the old, American suburbia at its finest, making it all the stranger that something extraordinary would happen somewhere so ordinary.

"I don't need you to be all calm and condescending to me," he snaps at Mami.

There's a shudder that runs through Howard's body like a crack in a sheet of ice when Jack says 'we're getting you home', but he hopes no one else notices it.

"What about bringing more people here, does your magic spirit Ouija board summoner do that too?"

"I only want to help, but I know it's hard to trust right now. I feel it too," Mami whispers, retreating to a safe distance from all three of them. She means them no harm and she intends to help them fight their way out, but these people are so stubborn!

She flips one of her curls and frowns, lapsing into silence as she listens and learns what she can.

Jack looked stricken, as if trying to figure out how to keep the one upset kid from upsetting the other upset kid.

"We don't know because, like we said, we're not the ones doing this. The bad guy is the one changing the world so that people are falling through the cracks."

"Maybe we can even wring an answer out of him, next time I get my paws on his scrawny neck."

Bunny was holding so dearly onto the hope that one day soon he might get to throttle Pitch himself.

"Great, that's just, that's just fucking great." Howard's shoulders slump. He looks entirely defeated. "So what now?"

Mami chooses to stay silent and wait this time, shifting her gaze from the silver-haired man to the rabbit and back. There's nothing she can really add.

"We're gathering everyone up near a pond not far from here so we can talk to them all and figure out what everyone wants to do from there - whether they wanna help us fight or want to let us find somewhere safe to stay. How does that sound?"

"Not like we get a choice. Not like we get a real choice," Howard mutters, but he nods.
