Return home

You return home to eat and waste time before it is late enough for you to steal Victoria in the middle of the night. After a nice meal, as you’re gathering any supplies you think might be necessary, a familiar light returns to greet you with a familiar ethereal voice.

“Sorry I took so long. Technical difficulties. Listen, this is a one way communication so don’t bother speaking, just listen. This thing is going to take at least five days, probably a week, maybe a little bit longer if you’re unlucky. Keep your head down and don’t do anything to get you hurt or killed. I know it may be tempting to change things here, but this isn’t your universe and it isn’t your place to meddle in their politics. These people here aren’t your friends, they’re alternate dimension versions of your friends. You have swapped places with the you from this dimension and we are currently working on getting you swapped back, but in order for that to happen we need time. So please, be patient…” And with that the voice faded away. You become more optimistic by the second. So all you have to do is kidnap your crush without anybody noticing, hide her in your house until you can run away with the communists, then stay low until you can ask the person behind all this to bring you two back to your original dimension. As you run through this in your head you realize how convoluted, crazy, and frankly impossible it sounds and you deflate a little. One wrong move and you’ll get much worse than a kick to the balls.

You finish your preparations and go out to Victoria’s house…
