FireSpark {{ To describe traveling, envision the world being stretched like taffy, then twirled in a centrifuge, and then reversed. It lasts for less than an eyeblink, but feels like forever. xd }} "Excellent."Daniel smiled broadly and started to step through the door but stopped short, He turned to speak to Jessi, his smile only slightly diminished. "You might, um, want to maybe close your eyes. It helps things to be less, unsettling."And with that Daniel leaned forward and 'traveled' through the doorway, pulling Jessi along, as the they both vanished. - - - - = = = = > > > > < < < < = = = = - - - - Stepping out of a small door, Daniel stumbled slightly on the uneven footing of stairs he hadn't expected. He managed to spin in time to stop Jessi's tumble and set her right again next to him. The sun was close to the horizon, and there was a sharp chill in the air, but nothing as hard as the weather had been outside Aqua Springs. They were on a small side street, just big enough for two or three people to walk abreast. Not far was the main avenue, and a number of people were walking by in the late evening, dressed very much like Daniel and Jessi. Daniel bent down to Jessi's eye level. "Are you okay? Everything alright still?"{{ And now we should probably move the scene to EE. Either with your next post, or my post after your next post. Your call. }}
Before they stepped through the door, Jessi looked down at the necklace Daniel had given her and fingered it lightly with a small smile. "Daniel, this really is a gorgeous necklace. Thank you so much for..."
She yelped out as she suddenly felt as if she were falling. She hadn't had time to close her eyes or to even look up from her necklace. How could she miss the step leading out to Aqua Springs when she had walked in and out of the building hundreds of times? And why hadn't she stopped falling, yet?
Suddenly, Daniel's arms were around her, and she was looking up from her necklace. At first, she noticed how much warmer she felt. Sure, there was still a chill in the air, but nothing like the frigid temperature at Aqua Springs.
Then, as she looked around, she realized that nothing looked like the outside of AS. There was no parking lot, only dirt paths, and there were people milling about in very odd period clothing.
When she spoke, her voice was soft, nervous. "Uh... Did you happen to bring me to a fair of some sort and I passed out on the way out of AS? I felt like I was falling and all of a sudden I'm here... wherever here is. It's like I had blacked out as soon as I left AS."

Daniel flashed a small grin at Jessi, somewhat sheepishly.
"Sorry. That was my fault. I should've given you more time. But you didn't pass out. You've only taken a single step. As for where here is, come see."
Daniel slowly guided Jessi to the opening of the alley, and looked out onto a broad boulevard of a grand city. Classic building facades, elegant horse drawn carriages of lacquered black, and rising from behind the buildings at one end of the grand street was the steeple of a grand cathedral. The people walking the streets all in turn of the century period dress.
"Welcome, to Vienna, Austria. Though I think technically it's Austria-Hungary at the moment."
Bending to quickly snap up a single sheet of fine paper, Daniel straightened back up with the front page of a newspaper. The wording was in German, and the font fanciful. After a moment, Daniel smiled broadly, handing the paper to Jessi.
"Well, I did mean to be in the hotel here behind us, and not in the alley, but close enough. At least we're right when I meant to be. See?"
Daniel's finger was pointing to just below the periodical's name, at the date. 2 April 1800.
