What're you doing here? Wait, wait, you must've gotten lost. Not the kind of lost you might be thinking of... Not the "I lost my way in a forest" kind of lost. It's more like a "I've lost my time and place" lost. You're not sure if you died or whether you got sucked into a black hole. You got so lost that you don't know what time it is or where you are. There's nothing around you. Everything turned black. That's all there is. No light and no darkness. Everything around you is... empty.
An unusual phenomenon happens to people who get lost like this. After time and space have spun completely out of control and beyond your reach, you might find yourself giving up. Might as well die here... if you don't already think you're dead. But like I said-- really weeeeird stuff happens to people who lose their way. How do you get lost in Infinity and Eternity?! It doesn't happen very often, but when it does...
You find a door. Where the heck did this door come from? Who cares, because it's your only saving grace. You're here because you opened that door, didn't you? You must've fell after going into that door. Gravity came out of nowhere and you landed in a cart.
And so begins your tour of the place that exists inbetween places. Any time! Any place! We're not part of Eternity. We're not part of Infinity, either. Even though there's a gigantic multiverse the likes that no one can comprehend, we just... kinda live here somehow. Ah-ha, sorry. We're on a tour! It will be guided by yours, truly. Who am I? Well, I look like this:
My name is Louie. I'm a girl, but when kids are four years old they don't know the difference between boys and girls, so my owner called me Louie. No laughing! Stuffed animals get lost, too. I ended up here thousands of... well I dunno-- I don't know what time it is out there, so I don't know when I got lost! The people (and sometimes things-- like me!) that end up here aren't able to leave. Where would you go? If you wanna go back to that super empty, super boring place that doesn't exist in time or space (that rhymes!), then that's fine.
That's why we started calling it The Inn Between. Well... I don't know how or where that name came from, but I learned from others who have been here for a veeery long time, so yeah... That's how it is. The actual Inn is right in front of us. It's the ultra bright purple building over there. See it?
Yeah, that one. Weeeeell it's kinda more like a castle... or... a building-- or something-- you know what, it's an Inn, okay? It's always night time near the Inn. It's kinda cool, but kinda creepy. You'll be staying here... whatever you are. Are you human? Or a vampire? A stuffed animal like me? Something from outer space? It doesn't matter-- The Inn Between takes in anyone. Just like it did for me, when I was all alone and got so lost I was lost about being lost in a lost place that lost its place in a lost universe.
Of course, not everyone stays in the Inn. If you're a giant dragon or a space whale (are you one of those two?), you may not like the indoors. If you don't like to stay at the Inn, there are tons of places you can stay. The nearest place is Shadow City-- we passed it, though. Shadow City is a big city (duh) where the Shadows live. They are exactly what we say they are; shadows that look like people. We don't know why they're there or how they got there-- everyone in the Inn Between will tell you the same thing. I'm gonna guess that you got dizzy by finding out that I'm a talking stuffed animal and the Inn is a bright... place (yeah-- let's not get into that again). It may be a city, but since we're already in the Inn, there are pictures of the place hanging on the walls. Look over there.
This photo was taken by one of the older Inn residents. That little boy in the picture is one of the Shadows. The city itself is so wasted and dainty. It's weird how even whole cities can get lost beyond words and end up right here in the Inn Between. Still... we don't know where the Shadows came from or how they even came into being. Did they come with the city or have they been here the whole time? The possible stories behind the place are as countless as the stars in the sky.
Enough about us. Let's talk about you! Not like we haven't already, but let's make it official.
If you haven't already figured it out, the Inn Between is a really wacky place... Since it's a world in between Eternity and Infinity, but is part of neither at the same time, the Inn Between is not really bound to the law of physics. Stuff doesn't make sense; after you stay here for awhile, stuff doesn't need to. The Inn Between has found its own way of existing, even if it has to bend a dozen rules to do it. I don't really know how to explain it-- I'm not that smart!
What does this say about you? Well, the same thing that it says about me. Magic. Lots and lots of magic. And superpowers. You probably got magic or a superpower the instant you opened that door. If you already have magic or a power of some sort, you probably have more. If you ask me, it's like imagination gets to have its own way here. You blow up stuff up and the Inn Between won't care; it'll just make things better in a few seconds (no one can explain why-- deal with it). You dream reality into being. Have you ever dreamt that you were walking in a huge canyon made of ice cream? Or once saw yourself fishing for sharks in a lake? Most likely, what you saw was a place that exists in the Inn Between. Why? Because it doesn't make sense. I've met some scientists who come here and they say that dreams are forgotten almost as quickly as they are dreamed up by a person. In it's own way, it makes sense that places and people in dreams end up here-- that's kinda what the Inn Between is all about!
Okay, I lied. That's not what the Inn Between is ALL about. I'm sorry! I know this is all really confusing, but once you stay for a few weeks you'll get used to it. Huh? How long have I been here? Didn't I tell you five minutes ago that I don't know?
Ah... Maybe you're one of those people who is trying to make sense of all of this... nonsense (hehe!). Well, you can always try. There tons of places to explore and people of ALL KINDS (I'm serious!) here. Some people believe that the people who come here are here for a reason. Maybe we are... maybe we aren't. Like I said earlier, the reasons why the Inn Between exists are nothing but conjecture. They could all be true... then again, maybe none are.
Huh... Whoever made this must've really been into wolves (what about cats?!). The book is super huge, isn't it? Well, sometimes we get people the size of mountains, so we make sure to accommodate everyone. Here's a pen! I wonder how big it has to be to fit in your fingers... What if you don't have fingers? I guess I'll do it for you...
