Do terrible things tend to happen here right around major holidays?

No, there was another place in between. Funny how you can go billions of years without once getting dragged into a strange place against your will and then two come along right in a row.

"Another place, so this is your second experience like that. Maybe I should be the one asking you questions then."

I'm not sure how much the two really have in common though. The persona thing is new. No fake families either.

Yes, there's that, I did get terribly attached to the grandkids. And, well, my assigned husband.

"Assigned... I have this feeling that I don't want to ask further."

Most people didn't make much of it, other than having to live in the same house at least some of the time. Our case was a bit... unusual, that was all.

"So like barrack assignments. I see."

Re: Voice

Kinda. There were constructs who insisted all the relationships were real. Sometimes there were constructs filling out the household if there weren't enough kidnapees to fill in father, mother and two kids.

"So like being forced to be dolls for a sadistic 6 year old?"

[Well that is... eerily apt]

The person running the show even took the form of a little girl, most of the time.

"It sounds like the plot of some sort of psychological horror manga."

Re: Voice

A little bit, especially on the bad days.

"It sounds like a place I never want to go."

Re: Voice

Most people would agree with you.

"Then at least you are free of it, maybe they can help you find your way home here."

And I know that the rest of me is still out there.

"I would guess that it is hard to quantify an aspect like death in any single place in time."

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Exactly. I'm basically everywhere.

Voice

[electricyousei]

"Multiple aspects seems a bit more efficient than time manipulation as well."

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

There's that too. Usually the aspects are a little more connected than this, but something about Mayfield caused spinoff.

Voice

[electricyousei]

"Well, it sounds like a horrible place, at least you've gotten free."

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Horrible about sums it up. I just hope the boys are alright.

Voice

[electricyousei]

"Well, I will speculate that there was a massive jailbreak. Perhaps they were cast adrift as you were or returned home."

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

That's what I'm hoping, at any rate. As long as they're safe, that's the important part.
