>Head home.
>Make plans to properly introduce Rinoa in case they do meet.
>Poor Dad ,_,

>You and Rinoa head down the path, and enter into your door. Your room looks much the same as last time; it might be a good first thing for Rinoa to see of your world, considering there isn't any advanced technology stuff in it.
>That would be... interesting, to say the least.
>Well, he hasn't really been PROVED to be dead, but he's been missing for a few weeks, soooo...

>You introduce Rinoa to your house! She gives off "oohs" and "aahs", looking around your room at your clothes drawer, self-made stitchface dolls, and then at the mirror. "Wow... the reflection is so perfect!"

>Oh boy, you can't wait to show her the TV! You bring her downstairs, trying not to make much noise since Mom might be asleep in her room. As the two of you reach the living room, you show Rinoa the TV.
>"Oh, it looks funny!", she says. Then you turn it on. She gasps as the black and white images come on. "Thats... that's amazing!"
>You're enjoying her amazement immensely. It's delicious.

>You let her stare at it for a minute, before ushering her into the kitchen. There's a bit much here to show her everything she doesn't have in her world, but she's certainly mesmerized at all the cooking implements. You show her the sink, and how it gives water; "You mean you don't have to rely on streams, rain, or snow for water?! Incredible!"
>Then, you show her the view out a window. "The buildings here are just...! An-waoh, is that river black?"
>It takes all your willpower to not burst out giggling at that comment.

>"Oh, I see! ...kinda."
>At that moment, a car goes by! Rinoa gasps and steps back a bit. "W-what was that?! It had all this smoke coming out of the back! Was that what your world's dragons are like?"

>Your current state: :V

>You go back into the kitchen, and demonstrate some of its uses to Rinoa by heating up leftover spaghetti&sauce from your birthday party, using the stove.
>You ask Rinoa if she can eat, and she disappointedly replies "No, I don't think I can... I hope my body is okay, and that I find it soon! Maybe tommorow..."
>You head up to your room, and lie a nice fluffy comforter down on the floor for Rinoa. You don't think she'll need a blanket to go with that; her ghostly form probably doesn't support weight.
>When you go back downstairs, you find Rinoa looking at a calendar on the wall. "Berkeley, what's this for?", she asks.

Shit.

Backing up Berkeley's Phantasmagoria. Please wait warmly for... well, I don't know. I assume someone will probably make a temporary/replacement forum on a free site before long, but I really just don't know.

EDIT:Oh wait April comes after March and it's the 31st *facedeskfacedeskfacedesk* Still backing this up and waiting till tommorow to update, just in case. And since I should have a back up anyway.

Onto to backing up Page 6~
