notahostage | Near the Causeway, Thursday Afternoon

Wendy Watson	Not having spent the summer on the island, the relocation had piqued Wendy's interest, and so she found herself wandering down to the causeway to see if there was anything she should be concerned about.
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	She should have been, if the figure who had just emerged from a convenient alleyway was anything to go by. "Hiya Dub-Dub."
Wendy Watson	Crap. Wendy spun to face her double. "You! What are you doing here?"
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"I wish I could say that I was here to kill you, like I would have done back in my own universe without the intervention of the Middlemoron," Wendy replied, gesturing with her gun. "Unfortunately, the idiots in charge refused to listen to reason and are persisting with this ridiculous arcane and byzantine tournament instead of just neutron bombing the place from orbit. I know I would."
Wendy Watson	Okay, her double was apparently still lawful evil and just as ax crazy as ever. "Glad as I am that an arcane and byzantine tournament is apparently keeping me from becoming a radioactive shadow, that still doesn't answer my question about what you're doing here," Wendy said. "Shouldn't you be off oppressing orphans and kicking kittens?"
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"I would be," Wendy said. "Except it turns out that you managed to be quite inspirational to Mulletboy and and his flakey sidekick and I decided that it might be prudent to take a short 'vacation', at least until the formerly huddled masses lapse back into apathy."
Wendy Watson	"You got overthrown," Wendy said, starting to smirk. "Lacey and the Middleman kicked your evil butt but good."
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"Please," Wendy replied, rolling her eyes. "No one overthrew anyone. I'm merely ensuring that they don't have a target to focus any temporary revolutionary fervour on."
Wendy Watson	Wendy was grinning broadly now. "Totally got overthrown, and you can't do anything about it."
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"Oh, I can do something about it," Wendy replied. "After all, just because I can't kill you here and now, doesn't mean that it's the same deal in the tournament."
Wendy Watson	"Except I'm not in this tournament," Wendy replied, as yet unaware of the town meeting. "I didn't even know I had a nemesis over there until you showed up."
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"Correction, you weren't in the tournament."
Wendy Watson	"You signed me up? You do remember what happened last time you tried to kill me?" Wendy asked. "Because if you don't I can refresh your memory right now."
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"Not so fast," Wendy replied, shooting the ground near Wendy's feet. "You'd be surprised at the difference a few months and a little training can make." Which would be when she set off the stun grenade.
Wendy Watson	Wendy moved to cover her eyes just that moment too late and went down like the proverbial Omega Theta Nu.
Wendy Watson [From an evil parallel universe!]	"Whoops." Wendy stepped over Wendy's prone form and started back towards Nemesis Island. "Kill you at the tournament, loser."
