Which might've worked. Except for not-Ant smashing through the edge of time, shattering it further.

Bina will admit she possibly should've seen this coming.

She falls, red scarf trailing after her, attached to a broken piece of reality, time glinting ever farther away in the distance.

She's getting somewhat concerned over how much breaking of time's been going on lately.

It's an infinitely dark void right now, her and her scarf and not-Ant, which is weird, shouldn't there be other holes, Twelve'd said the damage isn't resetting - 

Some tiny part of her notices she's falling to her death and now would be a tremendously excellent time for a panic attack.

The rest of Bina, which was the part throwing a flashlight at a quantumly entangled undead duplicate of the ghost of a teenager who apparently moved into her dreams - like camping out on her couch but somewhat more uncomfortable - glares at it. Yeah, so, she's falling through time, the monster is only meters away, she's tired and beat up and aching, she's swallowed an unhealthy amount of possibly-radioactive muddy rainwater, the monster can shoot lasers from its mouth that make her feel like she's staring into the eye of a vast and alien god - 

So yeah.

That's all happening.

No argument here.

But how exactly is panicking going to help the situation? It's not like she can change any of that.

The small part of her advocating panic admits that the rest of her makes a very good point.

Well good, the rest of her thinks. Glad we've reached an arrangement.

...What was she thinking about again?

Right! Falling! Holes! Where are the holes in reality, and - 

Jenn sees it differently. Josephine saw it differently. The Bina in the dream said she used to see cracks...

(She hopes Jenn leaves. Takes Ant and Elizabeth and gets out of there. Maybe calls whoever Elizabeth works for. Maybe throws Ant at Ira so Ira will stop this and be happily reunited - )

She thinks B-Three, or Twelve, or Josephine would say their unusual angle was because of the time machine. That it left the hole, and allowed them to land on their feet (...ish) rather than just being there - 

This Bina doesn't think so.

She thinks it's because who she was with. Jenn, who knows what she's doing (probably), Elizabeth, who's the sort of eminently sensible Bina's never managed and wouldn't ever leap without looking - 

Because Jenn and Elizabeth both expect to land. That reality won't just betray them. 

So all Bina needs to do is change her expectation.

She closes her eyes. Expects to see something else when she opens them - 

It doesn't work.

So she tries again. Instead of 'anything else' she pictures - something. A model. A more useful lie.

She can't change what is going on, there's facts somewhere out there, but she can change what she's perceiving, what parts of the facts she knows - 

There's a sense of down. Something imminent and hungry at the bottom.

There's holes, or cracks, or little collapses in reality.

There's maybe, just maybe, somewhere to stand.

So she imagines islands, floating in the void, little clumps around pools of water leading elsewhen - 

And she opens her eyes.

And they're there.

If the Corpse is surprised to find itself falling through something apart from pitch blackness, it doesn't show. Then again. How much expression does a Corpse have? It's still laser focused on Bina.

The featureless void is now glowy and somewhat peppy and full of little globs of light.

Well, if she's falling to her death, at least she's doing it in style.

And - 

There's an island, like she pictured, clear blue pool of water in the middle.

It's below her - all she has to do is - 

Miss the pool by five feet.

She slams into the earth, and sort of crumples.

...Ow.

She doesn't have time to rest. Because not-Ant has just landed on the other end of the island.

She would like to register an objection to this.

Of all the things she thought she'd have to deal with when she woke up this morning...

The island tilts towards the not-Ant, and Bina begins to slide.

Super! Not! Fair!

And not-Ant starts to claw its way towards Bina.

The island turns nearly vertical, just as Bina manages to grab onto the other edge and pull herself up.

The Corpse seems...vaguely unaffected by the tilt. Still able to start to pull itself after Bina, looming, surreally large-

-And Jenn lands next to Bina and hits the Corpse in the skull with a hammer.

Elizabeth lands in a somewhat less epic manner, but does reorient herself and start going for her gun.

Apparently a couple of hammerstrokes to the skull is enough to dislodge the Corpse. And it starts to fall.

Jenn whirls to Bina, pointing at her. "Handcuffs."

"I'm not the one with the hammer!"

And the island starts to right itself.

"I didn't jump into a break in- wait. Okay. I did."

Jenn starts to scramble onto the...top?? of the island, holding out her spare hand to Bina.

Bina takes it.

And Elizabeth follows.

"Where'd Ant go?"

"Not...entirely sure? Ey. Kind of vanished?"

"...Ey probably couldn't have ended up in my head otherwise."

Jenn nods. "Alright. So. Where do we go now?"

"We don't want to stay here long. I think it's bad. So. One of the pools of water?"

"So...do we think they're gateways to different places in time?"

"Yeah. I think they're the holes."

"Alright then." Jenn goes to look into the one on their island to see if it gives her any clue where it leads.
