Kyle found himself standing on a vast, empty expanse of white. And endless plain of silent nothingness. Silent, except for a child's laughter.
"Well that's creepy as all hell," Kyle grumbled, looking around. Finding no landmarks he looked down at himself, and found himself completely healed. Healed, and his shirt entirely intact.
"Oh," he said to no one in particular. "I'm not actually here. This is a mind magic something or other."
He was betting that was the technical term for it anyway. This was some kind of weird dream space or something that they'd all wound up trapped in when the wish thing...worked? Tanya said if she was right things were going to get weird, and this was certainly pretty weird. Logically speaking that meant she must have been right.

For whatever good that did him. Seriously, could the laughing child bit stop now? Or could he at least see a child?
The silhouette of a little girl appeared in the distance as if it were running towards him through mist. He couldn't tell if some of the endless white around him was actually fog, or if the little girl was coming into existence around him. She was bouncing a ball, and looked up at him. She was absolutely adorable.
He knew that, he was certain she was adorable, despite the fact that she had no face. She was blank like a mannequin, an empty flat expanse framed by hair pulled up in pigtails. The hair kept shifting color, from black to red to brown to blonde. And yet he was still certain she was adorable.
"Yup. This is pretty weird."
"Who's weird?" The little girl said. "You're the weird one mister."
"Okay I suppose that's fair," Kyle scratched his head. "Maybe everybody in wherever we are is like you, and I'm the weird one. Are there other people?"
"Of course!" The girl laughed. "I live with GXCBVV and VVVVVTX!"
Kyle stared at her for a long moment.
"What?"
"QQQQQQQQQQQQ is gonna call me for dinner soon. I gotta go mister!"
She turned and ran off, disappearing into the mist. With no idea of what else he should do, Kyle went to follow her.
He picked up the pace when he heard the little girl scream.
