"Hi everyone, thanks so much for coming, I’m really glad you’re here. Those who know me know that I have a pretty wide range of interests, and recently I’ve been really diving deep into research about portals. Wormholes, inter dimensional gateways, that sort of thing. And recently I’ve discovered something totally crazy, I’ve made a portal that leads to this sort of pocket dimension. It’s like an alternate universe, but it’s really small. And the rules in this dimension are a little odd, things are not really like they are here. And I’ve learned that I can do this sort of ritual, and I can warp the energy in the space, and something weird starts to happen. I know this doesn’t really make any sense, and I’m not really sure what to make of it yet, so I’ve invited you here to help me figure it out.

Ok so, is this everyone’s first time going through a portal? Yes? Ok great. It’s not a scary as it might sound. But there are a few things you should know. The first thing is that you can only go in one at a time. If two people try to go through at once, your eyebrows turn into seaweed. They grow back eventually, but it’s not that comfortable. The other thing is that your phones turn into liquid molten hot lava. Which is sort of insane and makes things a little bit complicated sometimes. But the good news is that your pockets and purses turn into lava-proof containers. So as long as your phone stays in your purse or pocket, you should be set. Might as well turn it off before you go in, ya know? I see yall got the message about pillows and that’s great. So once you get inside, find a cozy place to settle in, and have a seat or lie down on your pillow. Make sure not to sit on the rug in the middle of the space, and to leave a little pathway from the door for me to get there.

Ok -looks at watch- I think it’s almost time, if I could get yall to line up single file, and we’ll start letting people in."
