"Well, that's actually what I'm trying to do.  Everyone else here had some supernatural experience, a<em>rabbit-hole</em>moment, to use Ichigo's expression."  Matt nods in her direction, grateful for the neologism.  "That is, had one before everything froze up at Midnight.  So, if you had one too, that's the common element, and we can begin to deduce.  If you didn't have one, then we need to find some other pattern to explain our situations.  What makes us different from all the people who froze solid for the past hour?"<br/><br/>"So.  You haven't stumbled into anyplace weird in the past few days?  Someplace that might not seem like it belongs in the place where you thought you were?"  Matt is pacing back and forth the lawn by now, his head bowed in thought even as he speaks.  "We're dealing with incursions from at least two separate reality-streams.  One is Black Tokyo.  I know a little about that one.  This Palace of Desire outfit could be something else - it seems to be a temporal phenomenon rather than an alternate dimension.  That doesn't mean they aren't related, or that whatever led us to interact with one isn't the same thing that lets us slip outside time with the other."
