The Ludicrous Escapade Pt.3

A Whole New World

You were shaking slightly as you used the tree to help yourself stand. Not too far away, past a small hill, you could see a large manor. Which hopefully meant there were some people there. Maybe they'd be able to tell you where, and perhaps even when, you were.

But before doing that, you noticed that you seemed to have been sitting on top of a piece of folded parchment.

"Oh. So that's what happened to her. I knew she was dead, but..." The spider read the piece of paper from over your shoulder. The suicide note that was in your hand. "To think the other (Y/N) drowned herself in the river..."

You walked over to the river bed, morbidly curious to see if you'd spot your own body floating amongst the water. There was no one in sight.

The spider checked her strings for a second, "She's been dead for a few hours by now."

So you glanced back down at the note in your hand. "And it seems Speedwagon died in this universe, too." You looked back over at the manor. "Was that their place, then?"

The spider nodded gingerly. "I believe so. Now, if you don't have any questions, I'll go find myself a nice seat to watch from."

"Wait, what about-" But the spider was already gone. "Great..." The note had mentioned the other (Y/N)'s immense feelings of guilt, but didn't exactly specify the cause. You had hoped the spider might have been able to clarify.

You brought out your Stand, immediately witnessing the amalgamation before you. You hurriedly took out everything except Wamuu's ring.

The Pillar Man looked around, "I'd ask where we are, (Y/N), but I assume you don't know either. It is strange, though. It at least looks similar to how the other world looked."

"Yeah... And at the moment I'm thinking I might need to impersonate the other me." Though it did feel a tad morally questionable to pretend to be someone that had died. "Just to get information at the very least." You felt around in the pockets of your pants. "Do you think you could give me my phone? I believe I threw it into the void room just to be safe."

So Wamuu went to find it real quick before giving it to you. "Here."

You turned it on, clicking through a few buttons before shaking your head in frustration. "It's no use. There isn't any service here." Most of the apps would still work fine, but you couldn't exactly access the internet or use your maps.

"Mrs. Speedwagon?" A familiar man stood at the top of the hill looking down at you. They were donning the attire of a butler. When you didn't respond, he seemed to remember something. He bowed slightly, "My apologies, Ms. (L/N). It slipped my mind that you returned to using your maiden name following the death of your husband, er... Mr. Speedwagon." He proceeded to approach you. "You've been out here for several hours now. If you don't mind me asking, what have you been doing?"

You quickly shoved the note into your back pocket, thinking it would probably be best if the butler didn't see. "Straizo? Is that you?"

The man with long, black hair was confused for a second before a concerned expression crossed his face. "Ms. (L/N), have you been using too much medication again? You should only be taking what the doctor prescribed you." He removed a glove and put his hand on your forehead. "Are you feeling all right?"

"Right... so who are you again?" Perhaps you could pretend to have amnesia. Gathering what you knew of the other you's situation, it might be feasible.

The man stepped back from you, hand over his heart. "Oh dear." He gently grabbed your arm. "I think we may need to call the doctor. But let's just get you back to the manor for now." The butler had several questions. About your strange attire, your manner of speaking, and why you suddenly had three moles on your left ear. But he was too concerned about your well-being to ask them just yet.
