Who am I and where are we you ask? the former is both a very simple and very complicated question the latter is just complicated.

so to the former, the simple answer is I am Perdita. The complicated answer is I am the Queen of Nothing. That's where you are by the way. This humble house of mine is the only thing here and that's what I've taken to calling it, Nothing.

Its surprising that you even made it here in the first place. This is a place for only the most thoroughly lost after all and you seem to have a good head for directions.

Me? I was born here. but you. to get here you must have been truly lost to end up in Nowhere.

So the second question, right. This is Nothing, my house, it sits in the middle of Nowhere. Nowhere is where you end up if you get lost trying to go anywhere from Somewhere or somewhere from Anywhere. To arrive at Anywhere you have to get lost going from Here to There and to reach Somewhere you have to get lost going anywhere from Here or There. Here is reached by getting lost where you are and There is reached by reaching your destination without actually having a destination.

I'll give you a second. It can take a while to wrap your head around....

Leaving? I'm afraid that isn't so fast a process. If this were any of the other places I mentioned simply trying to go somewhere specific and not getting lost on the way is good enough but not so much for here. Try getting anywhere once you arrive and you just find yourself ending up back in the middle of Nowhere, outside my door.

That said, a good nights rest can find you right back where you ought to be. we can talk more in the morning if you're still around when I wake up. The Guest room is upstairs on the left and feel free to help yourself to my fridge. I'm turning in early.
