It was one thing to be in Milan, a bull in a snake pen, but the fact she was no longer was jarring all the same. The city was near desolate, and it took time enough to come across one person. She had no answers, and this place was none as she had seen. It certainly was not Rome, nor what she imagined France to be, where her brother was. No, she was in a foreign land altogether.

And she looked it. Her gown was extravagant, a picture of everything a Renaissance woman should be. She had wealth by the looks of it, good embroidery and the way her hair was done, perfectly so. She had never worked a day in her life.

"Pardon me," she said as she finally spotted someone. "Could you tell me where I am? And perhaps how I came to be here?"

EVENT: Illusions of the Important
Think of the person that elicits the most emotions from you. A lover, a family member, maybe even an archenemy? All through the night, you'll see that person. Nobody else seems to be able to, though... but they're real. In fact, you're going to prove it. You can chase all you want, though, but you'll never catch them.

EVENT: Nothing out of the ordinary...
...apart from the fact that there is suddenly life, anyways. In fact, there is even a lively festival going on in the City Centre where there is free food. Eat all the food you want, take a hot shower, feel free to let your guard down... wouldn't it be nice if all nights were like this?

In all of the strange things he's experienced in his life, there's still nothing that really compares to being suddenly spirited away to what he knows intrinsically to be an entirely different world.

As jarring as the sudden shift had been, Subaru's shock is only momentary. With no apparent reason for how or why he is here, let alone any explanation that helps him determine where 'here' might be, there's not much to be done but to survey the surroundings.

The more worrying thing is the realization that his spiritual abilities are gone.

It's as though he's suddenly gone blind, deaf, and numb all at once. Although he can see, hear, and feel normally, the connection with the spiritual essence of the world is completely severed. He strains, trying to cast out for any sensation of spiritual energy, but coming back with nothing. More than being in a completely different world, the lack of his onmyoujitsu abilities is what has him reeling. He can't remember a time when he couldn't pick up on the spiritual signatures of other people, regardless of how dull or sharp they were. Entire places have energies all their own, but now it's as though everything has been silenced.

It's so, so quiet.

Subaru starts walking. He may be here for some time, and perhaps if he learns more about this place, he can find a way to regain his power - or learn to live without it.

But he doesn't especially mourn for the world from which he was ripped; there's little left for him there, anyway.

Margot wonders where the hell she's just woken up. She doesn't remember Mason's henchmen taking her anywhere against her consent. Is it possible they drugged her? Would she remember that? Or maybe it was Dr. Lecter? Whoever it was, they don't seem to have lingered around.

She pulls herself to her feet and starts looking around. This place looks like it's in ruins and abandoned, and it seems like something out of a fairytale or a science fiction movie. Maybe she dreaming, right? In which case, it wouldn't hurt to explore and try to figure out where she is before she wakes up. She shrugs and starts walking into the outer circle of the city, wondering if there are other people in her dream or maybe it's just her? Too bad Hannibal is no longer her psychiatrist. This would be quite an extensive topic of discussion in a therapy session.

Central City... Except it's nothing like the Central City she knew. Granted, she's never spent much time there, but at the very least, she'd have at least heard of ... well... this. Last thing she remembered was... voting.

And then, things got a little fuzzy.

Shaking her head, Black Canary takes a step into the city. It looks abandoned. Like nobody had lived there for years. (Centuries, even...) Nothing should surprise her anymore, after meeting Martian Manhunter and The Flash and Green Lantern. Should being the key word there...

Best she could guess is that this is some sort of illusion. But who created it? And how is she going to find her way out of it...?
