Clara's attention was momentarily pulled from the door when she felt motion behind her. Door on the handle, she turned to see the redhead (<a class="username" data-user-id="6011" data-username="@Deviant" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6011/">@Deviant</a>) take a leap of faith and jump through the portal as well, only seconds after a new comer (<a class="username" data-user-id="6169" data-username="@Purplefairydust" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/6169/">@Purplefairydust</a>) landed just like they had half an hour before.<br/>The new woman looked young and disoriented. Josey (<a class="username" data-user-id="5865" data-username="@Josey" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5865/">@Josey</a>) was kind enough to answer her and introduced himself. Cassie, she shared her name. The hint of pity Clara felt towards the young woman melted like snow in the sun the moment she addressed her directly. The businesswoman's brow furrowed. Who did that kid think she was to talk to her that way?! Clara's lips curled into a smile that wasn't kind at all. She was pretty sure sweet little Cassie would not be that arrogant if she had been faced to face with the specter they had just encountered!<br/><br/>Luckily for Cassie, Clara's sarcasm didn't make it passed her lips for Tody (<a class="username" data-user-id="5411" data-username="@Chartreux" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5411/">@Chartreux</a>) tactfully stepped in and opened the door. Clara nodded at the older man and simply ignored the young woman who was standing next to the cowboy.<br/>She followed into the man's footsteps and would have chuckled at him running if the situation hadn't been so unsettling. As she reached him by the front entrance of the Cathedral, she whistled between her teeth.<br/>"Now<i>that </i>is quite a forest..." she mused and her eyes were filled with wonder and awe. But she had to admit that her pragmatic side wasn't so keen on their location. For the first time since they arrived, she did what she should have done immediately: she pulled out her cell phone. She touched the screen but it beeps, confirming what she already knew: no service. Not even to call 911.<br/>She smacked her lips and put the phone back in her pocket.<br/>"Alright...any clue where we might be?" she shook her head. "I've never seen such a forest in New York, that's definitely not Central Park!" she chuckled but it wasn't a happy laugh.<br/>"Toby, where were you before you landed here?" she asked him. "And I might add...'when' were you before you arrived?"
