Quinne walked alone in the wilderness, initially in an attempt to forget her troubles—troubles acquired during her previous attempt to not be alone. But the further she wandered, the more she felt she was moving toward something unknown rather than away from anything she knew. She saw faces in the landscape, in arrangements of stones, amongst the branches of trees, for a split second out of the corner of either eye, illusions that instantly dissolved when she turned to investigate them. Still, these brief apparitions felt somehow like signposts, & she adjusted her course accordingly. Later, after she'd completely lost track of time & place, she heard the white noise of a waterfall. It was the tail end of winter, patches of snow & ice reluctantly made way for the slow but insistent return of green. She followed the melted areas, which connected to form a path down to the large pool beneath the falls, then onward into a deep canyon, where the pool narrowed into a river. Concentrating so intently now on pinpointing the next ephemeral signpost, she found herself trudging steadily along the river itself, waist deep in the water, with no memory of abandoning dry land. She stopped & chuckled to herself, then felt a shock, but not from cold, for she was not cold at all. She feared she'd damaged her nerves or skin, but she could still feel the water itself: she was not numb. The water was, improbably, the exact temperature of her body (or vice versa?). She took another step forward. Now, more improbably, the water near her foot was clearly warmer. She followed the warmth, not carried along by water flowing from behind her, but pulsing from the riverbed ahead of her. Then her toes found the source of it: a ring. She couldn't yet see it, but felt certain it would be black.

Many girls in many dimensions, one mysterious piece of jewelry…

Sonata
Sonata rarely had cause to visit the main floor of her building, preferring to keep to her own rented office space upstairs. Like her patients, she generally preferred privacy. But her patients had been more distracted than usual lately, reporting a wide variety of confusing phenomena upon entering the building, ever since it had been purchased by the mysterious new owners, and the bank that used to occupy the ground floor became… something else…
Jania
Jania (and her Prince) ready to receive visitors in the royal aquarium…
Tawai
Tawai, arriving at a dinner party only to discover that not all of the guests appear to be strictly human…
Parker
Parker, in the future, on her scooter, readying to no longer be parked…
Millie
The first time Millie was suddenly cornered by several black SUVs, hooded and herded into one of them by burly men wearing suits, sunglasses and earpieces, she'd reacted as you might imagine anyone would…
Dani
Dani often dreamt she was jumping around an inflatable bounce house, but she'd never before woken up in one…
Yarine
For as long as she could remember, Yarine had been able to lucid dream. Growing up with this inherent ability, for her, dreaming seemed like just another series of realities, and likewise, waking life often felt like merely her most persistent (and most obstinate) dream…
Angelia
Angelia, waiting to catch a flight home…
Flynne
Flynne, assuring a potential customer that she would not have traveled nearly so far if she was just another purveyor of crystals that don't actually work…
Mae
Mae, honestly not all that surprised to confirm that giving herself an impromptu tarot reading at the behest of a whispered voice emanating from a black ring would have immediate and particularly harrowing repercussions…
