[When the video clicks on, a woman with vibrant red hair (no, seriously, it’s red. The colors of Asgard look pale compared to this woman's hair) and a matching dress (if you can, you’ll recognize it as the height of fashion from ’88. 1888) comes into focus. She smiles a bit, at once friendly and slightly dangerous]

Well! This certainly isn’t what I expected upon waking up to a bright light. I don’t suppose someone would be willing to help a lady out, hm? That maid—if you could call her that—was most unhelpful and not at all polite, to say nothing of the fact that she's apparently a horrible liar.

[Seriously. Does this world look gray to you?]

And if someone could direct me to this “Loki” gentleman, that would be lovely. I have some questions for him that I believe need answering.

[For someone who was just taken from her home, she’s alarmingly calm and composed, beyond that normally expected of Englishwomen of the time.]

[ He gives a slight incline of his head at her laughter, keeping that serene smile on his own face. ]

I do hope you enjoy the scenery, then. It's not usually like this, so it seems a nice surprise has heralded the arrival of newer citizens.

[This man reminds her of Lau.]

Oh? Is it normally gray, then?

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

[ A small nod at that. ]

It often is. I believe this is only temporary, but I could be wrong. You certainly came at a time where this world is coloured with more beauty than usual. Please don't take this as too ominous, but I have the vaguest bad feeling about it all.

[Another polite laugh]

Oh, I'm sure whatever it is can't be all that bad.

[Demons and Grim Reapers are a hundred times worse than whatever this world can toss at her]

Forgive me, but I don't believe I caught your name.

[ His eyebrows slightly raise at that first part, feigning surprise at the cavalier statement. ]

I don't believe I caught yours, either.

[falselysanguine]

Touché. Doctor Angelina Dalles, of London.

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

Pleased to meet you, Doctor. My name is Johan Liebert. Currently, of Loki, I suppose.

[ Video ]

[falselysanguine]

Well, yes, if we wanted to get technical, then I am as well. But I wasn't born to this Loki, and I feel no loyalty to him.

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

You're certainly not alone in that. I'm from Germany. [ From which he quickly rolls on from that subject. ]

What is your field of practice, if you don't mind me asking?

[ Video ]

[falselysanguine]

A bit of everything, though I'm primarily a surgeon.

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

A very noble profession. I find you'll be pleased with the medical advancements that have been made in the future.

[ Video ]

[falselysanguine]

The future?

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

Forgive me if I've assumed incorrectly, but you appear to be from the late 19th century.

[ Video ]

[falselysanguine]

That would be because I am, and it is. It's 1888, isn't it?

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

I'm afraid not, Doctor. There is no true concept of time here, as we're all from different times. I'm a century ahead of you. Some are further than that.

[ Video ]

[falselysanguine]

A century, you say?

[Oh, my. Ann is quite confused and a little disturbed at that thought]

Well now.

[ Video ]

[uglyinside]

Interesting, isn't it?

Well, I do hope you enjoy your stay here. Proceed with caution and exercise your undoubtedly brilliant mind, but know that there is good at this place, too.

[falselysanguine]

Thank you.

[Next stop, it seems, is the library]
