Well that wasn't a place Leo saw on any map he had. And magic? Seriously? Did he just die and go into some freaky limbo? "Okay...you can all stop the jokes...", Leo said in a shaken voice, attempting to hold onto the last shreds of his old life he had. "Look, I live in London, 125 Winchester Street...", he stated, trying to talk sense to these people. Slowly but surely he was starting to calm down anyway, he wasn't screaming or making a bigger scene then he did.

"That is nice," Cecily said. "And this one lives here, in Manta Carlos. Where he is right now. They are not near London, so he will need to wait to go home."

Okay, now this girl was beginning to slightly creep Leo out. What was up with her speech for one? And why was she acting like this was a normal occurrence?! No...no...panicking wasn't going to get Leo nowhere. The only thing he could do was try to explain what happened. Clearly his throat, Leo began to tell his tale. "Okay...okay, let me try to explain what exactly...happened to me. I was just getting ready for work when suddenly a giant hole pulls me into the...Void I guess, yeah let's called it that. I'm in the Void for....I can't even tell to be honest. Days? Weeks? Months? Either way, I come out now and here, clearly not in the same body I had before. And another thing...this place...where exactly -is- it? Off the coast of Scotland or something?", he asked, finishing his story.

Hopefully that made....some amount of sense. Then again these people were reacting to reality being torn open like it was an after school special, so maybe basic logic wasn't exactly about to fly here. What Leo needed to do was calm down and try to gather as much information as he could. Hopefully he could work out a plan to get back home. Assuming this was even on Earth. For all he knew it was some kinda bizarro Earth called....Trtea. ....Not the most original idea on the planet but whatever.

Lance sighed and smiled. "This... I'm sure isn't a first occurrence." He told Leo, patting his shoulder to try and keep him calm. "When you've lived here for a few years, you don't question anything... Like I said before, we get you to a nurse, maybe some teachers, we can probably sort everything out... As for WHERE this is..." He looked off toward the sky. "I... have no idea. It kinda... is where it wants to be I guess. Won't affect you getting home anyway, so don't worry too much."

"Well, what exactly IS it? That girl mentioned about a school for magic. So what, you guys know slight of hands or something?", Leo asked. Some part of him internally was, despite everything thrown his way, a bit skeptical on this subject. Yes, even after being sent through the VOID AND TRAPPED THERE, Leo still had a few issues with believing in "magic."

It was a slightly odd situation, sure, but it was Leo still attempting to hold on the last shreds of humanity he had.

"What a silly sky boy he is!" Doll Girl sang, reaching out as if to touch him, but not going the full distance. He hadn't liked being touched last time. "They know fantasy magic. Sky boy must too if he is here."

Cecily walked around Leo, gently pinching his cloak to feel the material. She tried not to touch him as much as was possible for her, but it was a hard task. "Is he calming down? Is he all right, now?"

Sky boy...? Well he hadn't so much appear out of the sky, but, close enough I suppose. "Me? Magic? No no, I'm sorry miss, but I'm afraid I'm perfectly no-", as soon as the words were out, Leo had noticed something odd. In but a blink of a second, he wasn't near the fountain anymore. Rather he was closer to the main building of the school, the girl now farther away. ....w-what? What? WHAT?! Okay Leo, stay calm, you promised to stay perfectly calm. Panicking gets you nowhere! "....I assure you, there's probably a very logical explanation for what just happened.", Leo stated, trying to make sense of what just happened.

When Leo looked back, Cecily was still there, looking at the spot he had been in previously. She looked up and peered around in search of him. When she located him, Doll Girl proceeded to walk over casually. She knelt in front of him, her face a mere inch from his. Again, the living doll didn't understand the concept of personal space. Not even a little.

"He should just admit this one is right," she told him. "Lookie." Doll Girl stood and sauntered off, only to return with a large, thick stone. When she was sat in front of him again, she smashed her opposite hand with the rock. It cracked, like glass, but no blood came, and Cecily remained unperturbed by the damage done.

As Leo watched, her body would start to mend itself, the glass reconnecting and the cracks slowly closing up. Doll Girl smiled at him as she healed. "See? This one is not human. It is a doll."

Okay, please girl, understand the concept of personal space! Leo was clearly uncomfortable with someone this close to his person, but it was about to get even worse. As soon as the girl smashed her hand against the rock, Leo couldn't suppress a yelp. Her hand shattered into glass! What in the hell was go-....his thought process was interrupted as soon as her hand formed itself back together, as if nothing had ever happened.

....What.

"I....what...?", was all Leo could muster at this point. Just....what...? Where the hell did he even end up? What sort of logic applied here? How the heck could he teleport like he was Nightcrawler? All of these questions and more raced through Leo's mind, trying to wrap his mind around the nonsense that just occurred. "Okay hold on, what do you mean a doll girl? Y-You look plenty human to me, I mean...aside from the breaking your entire hand fisaco-"

Doll Girl grinned as she reached forward to take Leo's hand and let him feel her skin. It had no pores. It was smooth and cool like heavy porcelain. She had no fingerprints; she lifted her baggy shirt part ways to show that she also featured no belly button.

"This one is not human. It does not eat, or drink, or sleep. It is not like sky man! It is a living doll created many years ago. It works for it's Keepers. Does he understand now?"
