âWhat continent are we on right now?â I ask, and Red goggles at me. âWhere are we on planet Earth.â
âI have no idea,â he says.Â
âWellâI mean, if weâre physically here, there has to be a here to exist in, right? Like North America, or Asia.â
âHere is here,â Red says. âIn The Forest.â
âBut there are other people here,â I say. âMaking maps, right? Figuring out what kind of land mass weâre on currently? Thereâs got to be someone with aâan interest in geography, or something. Or math.â
âWell, there are people who make maps, but the maps conflict with each other,â Red says. âBecause of the distances changing. White Castle is directly opposite Red Castle; it takes three days to get from one castle to the other; and thatâs it. Everything else is wherever you need it to be.â
âBut if you walked on a beach,â I press, âeventually youâd come to a place where it stopped. Or youâd be back around where you started, or something. At least you could figure out whether this was an island or not.â
âYouâd just keep going,â Red says. âUnless you decided to go somewhere non-beachy.â
For the first event, Iâve chosen The Forest at largeâin all its splendor, sentience, and non-strict distances. You just walk for a while and you get to wherever youâre going. You might want to visit Red Castle (though I wouldnât recommend it; the Red Queen is evil), or perhaps White Castle (the White King attracts cats), or somewhere in betweenâbut be careful, because right in between, halfway, is already taken. Thatâs Redâs house.
