U-Uh, excuse me? Is anyone there? Hello?

[Hey, how did Alfred get outside? And why is he dressed differently? He's standing outside of the Door, who hasn't noticed his presence despite the young man's attempts. Maybe someone should let him in.]

Maple...

Alfred? Did you forget somethiing?

[americas_my_rug]

I'm not Amer- [He pauses, mentally readjusting to call his brother by his human name.] I'm not Alfred. I'm his brother Matthew.

[singerinpink]

OOH! Alfred told me about you! He missed you so much! Welcome, Matthew, it's nice to meet you! Nobody has picked you up yet?

[americas_my_rug]

No, not yet. I'm not even sure where I am, eh. [Alfred missed him? That's...kind of nice to hear.]

[singerinpink]

Oh, right. You're in London, this castle belongs to the Black Order. My name is Shuuichi, I came from another world too!

[americas_my_rug]

London? [Oh good, somewhere familiar.] Is there a man named Arthur Kirkland here then? [But he's never heard of anything called the Black Order-wait another world?]

Did you say 'another world'? I thought we were in London!

[singerinpink]

Yes, there is! He's a frinds of yours and Alfred? I didn't know! Maybe one of them can go for you, I don't think I'm allowed...

[Nervous laugh.] Yes, but it's a strange London. Nineteenth century in another universe!

[americas_my_rug]

Yeah, something like that. We've known him pretty much our entire lives.

...So I'm in the nineteeth century? [Again.]

[singerinpink]

Aww, like me and my buddy Hiro! Childhood friends are the best.

Mmm-mmh. A time machine brought us here. So we have to stay in the castle until they repair it.

[americas_my_rug]

[A time machine. And he has to stay in a castle until it gets repaired.

Just give him a second to wrap his head around that, Shuuichi.]

[singerinpink]

[He waits and waits, but not answer can be heard.]

...Matthew? Are you alright?

[americas_my_rug]

Yeah, I'm still here. Just...trying to take this all in, eh?

[singerinpink]

Ah-! Of course. Sorry. I'll try to contact someone so they pick you up.

[americas_my_rug]

That'd be really great, uh...I'm sorry, I didn't even ask your name.

[singerinpink]

I'm Shuuichi Shindou! Welcome to the Black Order!

[americas_my_rug]

Thank you, Shuuichi. I guess. It's nice to meet you.
