"We can just tell Jane that Giovanni or Nicolas is looking for her. That way we can get Bianca alone." He looked up, seeing two dark-haired figures in the Qudditch pitch's sidelines. Even from a distance, the distinctive curls that never seemed to lie flat in their hair were visible.

"There they are." The two seemed to be having a good time, chatting and laughing. Vincent almost hated to interrupt, but it was only a matter of time before the fake Jane turned evil too.

Ricardo took a deep breath. "We can't act like anything is outside of the normal. Whatever she says, we have to go with it."

He nodded, taking a deep breath as he walked up to them. "Hey!" he greeted as cheerfully as possible. The fake Jane looked up immediately, studying the Gryffindor for a moment before grinning.
"Hello."

ricardo walked after him, waving happily. "Hey, Biamca, Jane."
Bianca looked up, smiling, yet her brows knitted together. "Ricardo. I thought you just came by here with Xander. And now you're with... Vincent."
Ricardo coughed, panicking internally. And attempting to sound more lovesick. "Yeah, um.... Xander wasn't feeling well, so I dropped him off in the common room. I still wanted to talk to you. I'll meet him there later."
"Ooh," Bianca teased, poking him in the stomach. "Nobody better leave you two alone, then."

Vincent felt like throwing up a little in his mouth, but they had to continue with their mission. "Anyway, uh, Jane, Giovanni was looking for you. Said he needed help with something. He didn't tell me what."
Jane glanced between him and Bianca before nodding. She put on a sweet smile. "I'll be back in a few, sorella."

"See you then," Bianca responded cheerily.
Ricardo shifted uncomfortably, giving Vincent a look of apology. Oh god why.

Vincent returned the glance, but his was more of a question, prompting Ricardo to start the conversation with Bianca. He wasn't even sure what the plan was. Were they going to tell her everything? There was no way she would believe them...

"So, uh, Bianca..." He shifted on his feet. Since leaving their world, any qualities that made him more ideal for himself-- including intuition and tact-- were gone. "Have you noticed anything.. Weird, lately?"
Bianca stiffened. "What do you mean?" She looked away for a moment, hands fidgeting on her wand.

"What he means," Vincent interjected, "Is that he was wondering if you'd noticed if anything felt off. Like it wasn't quite right. We only ask because we feel that way and were looking for some confirmation."

Bianca signed, turning back to them. "Alright, give it up already. You're not Vincent and Ricardo. At least, not my Vincent and Ricardo. I mean, look at him, he's got a corner of his bandages poking out from under his shirt. Who are you?"

Vincent glanced at Ricardo, taking a deep breath. It surprised him how quickly Bianca was able to figure out that they didn't belong here. "Alright. You see, what we're in now is a sort of fake world. One that your brain made up to fulfill all your desires. The only catch is that after a while, the other people in your world start to become...evil. They'll try to kill you." He glanced at Ricardo again, eyes darting to the bandages that were visible from under his shirt.

Bianca rubbed at her forehead. "No. No, no, no. I know that. You need to get out of here before you ruin it."
Ricardo frowned. "But, Bianca--"
"They'll kill me if you stay. I can tell. Jane already noticed something suspicious. The sunlight isn't as bright anymore, I have to keep them quiet, I have to keep them docile..."

"But how do you know they won't kill you even if we do leave? We aren't just going to abandon you here in this dangerous lie," Vincent protested.

"And then what? Leave? Go back to a world where my sister ignores me and doesn't even bother to visit me while I'm injured? No thank you," she retorted heatedly. "But now I might have to because you two alerted these monsters!"

"Try talking to her. To Jane. The real one. You can't keep living in a fantasy. What happens if this world falls apart? Either you'll die with it, or you'll be left in the real world, disappointed because you couldn't change anything about it." Vincent let out a sigh. "Wouldn't you rather fix something real and have it forever than not have to work for something that doesn't last?"

Bianca rubbed at her temples. "It's not a situation that can be repaired in two seconds. And especially not with Miss Perfect and her constantly thinking she's right." She turned to Vincent, wand in hand. "But say I go with you. And we leave, and surface somewhere else. What, exactly, is your plan?"

"We're not sure," he answered, glancing at Ricardo. "We're hoping we can find some sort of trigger, or a place that wouldn't exist in our fantasy world, that would get us out of here."

"And back to a world where everyone treats me like I'm some sort of ditzy idiot? I don't think so," she hugged as she walked away.
Ricardo clenched his fists briefly before calling out to her. "Every second we waste here is another moment the real Jane is in danger."
Bianca froze.

Vincent nodded quickly, catching on. "Whatever fake world she's in... Her perfect versions of people could just be waiting to go corrupt and kill her," he told Bianca. "If we can find her in time, she could be saved."
