Itchy is still standing there when Crowbar shows up, looking at Itchy with a raised eyebrow.

"don't ask what I'm doing this is the one time I appreciate you showing up don't ruin this" Itchy hisses between clenched teeth. "just tell me if you see a gu-"

"No one here but you and me, Itchy." Crowbar interrupts. "I have no idea why you were expecting otherwise, and I don't care; give me back my damn hat and stick with me while I try to figure out what the hell is even going on."

"...yeesh, can you fault a guy for wanting to know if there's a chance of him getting shivved or..." Itchy grumbles as he gets Crowbar's hat and goes to put it back on his head, but Crowbar snatches the hat and does it himself.

"Alright, look here, Itchy." Crowbar sighs. "I know we ain't exactly two peas in a pod - you'd kick my authority right where it hurts if you could, and I get why you don't like it when I have to remind you who's in charge, but since we're stuck in the middle of goddamn nowhere and neither of us have a fucking clue what those portals are and how we can get back, I think it's best to swallow our prides and-"

"Hey, is that Clover?" Itchy looks past Crowbar, and after taking a moment to confirm what he sees, grins and runs past Crowbar. "Hey, Clover, over here! Good to see a friendly face!"

Crowbar just stands still for a moment, before sighing and facepalming.

 "Well, this is certainly interesting."

Elsewhere on the island, someone groans as they slowly gain consciousness. Oh, hey, it's that woman I mentioned in the first post! Seems like when she got dragged through her portal, she ended up hitting her head on a rock and got knocked out for a bit.

 "It's been a while since I've had to deal with anything besides leprechauns and my own kind...although, you're certainly not a troll."

The woman - better known as Jolyne - slowly opens her eyes, blinking as she goes back to the waking world. She sees a woman crouching down and looking at her, but not any woman like she's seen before. Her skin is black as ink and seems to shine, like some kind of carapace. Her clothes are black two - a rather fancy looking dress and a large hat with an 8 inscribed onto it - but they seem...different. It's weird, but for whatever reason, Jolyne swears she can see the stars in those clothes.

Eyes of pure white glance down at Jolyne's face, and without a word, she stands up and turns away from Jolyne. She does have something to say after, however.

 "Well, that seems like my cue to leave. We'll see if we meet again."

And then she starts to walk away, an odd confidence in her walk despite her situation.

Jolyne fights through her scrambled brain to focus and get on her feet, looking at the odd woman as she leaves. "Hold on a minute! Who the hell are you!?"

The woman doesn't give a response, merely glancing back at the human woman before looking forward with the slightest of smirks on her face.

Jolyne tries to run up to the woman, but she fades into black nothingness before Jolyne can ever reach her.
