> Realize you're standing without your cane.
>What about your cane, and general physical status?
Your cane is gone. There is a cane that was on the ground next to you when you woke up. You pick it up. It's made of wood.
Your general physical status is awful, but the normal amount of awful.
> check inventory
In your hand: the wooden cane.
On your person: a shift, stays, petticoat, gown, a belt, and some bits of cloth tying back your hair.
That's all you have.
> also get out of the road
You're off to the side, close to the shop, but getting out of the road doesn't seem to be a huge priority for people, because there aren't any cars, just the occasional carriage.
> First thing to do is to go inside and ask the shop keep the name of the town/city. See how foreign it sounds.
The shop is closed and the door is locked. You're a little glad, because the shop is exactly like the one a character owns in your favorite movie, and walking in there would make you feel like you've definitely gone crazy.
You ask someone walking by, instead.
BAILEY: Excuse me, what is this town called?
MAN: Falmouth's Neck.
Falmouth's Neck is what Portland was called until 1786.
It is also the town in which part of The Subterranean Treasure takes place.
MAN: Are you lost, miss?
BAILEY: No, I think I know exactly where I am.
Tne guy walks off.
There are lots of stories about people being magically transported to some other world. You wished many times that it would happen to you.
The silly, little-kid part of your brain, the same part that does things like make you start clapping when Tinkerbell is dying, wonders if somehow, someone heard that wish.
> Wonder if you've gone crazy, been kidnapped and dressed up by crazy people, if you're dying alone in the forest and hallucinating, if this is a dream, or you somehow fell back in time or something.
Maybe the explanation is that if you want something badly enough, magical things can happen.
