Intro

[13_and_counting]

[Perhaps as you're walking down the halls of the HQ, you might notice something peeking around a corner at you. But as you look, it'd slip out of sight so fast all you'd see was a blur

[dignitydwells]

[Thankfully she's grown out of her lunch money stealing days. Instead, she's settled for peeking under the table and watching him.]

Just what are you doing under there, lad?

[13_and_counting]

[!

Well, the accent is familiar.

But that's about it.]

. . . Waitin' for my bwoder. [mumblemumble]

[dignitydwells]

And how is he to find you under here? [There was a bit of a pause before she corrected him.] You shouldn't mumble like that, either. It's a bad habit to get into.

[13_and_counting]

[Huh, that advice sounded familiar, too.

He's going to crawl out now, smoothing out his baptismal robes with his hand while the other still holds the bunny.]

S-sorry. [He apologizes, looking down.

Then, taking a chance, he asks.] You thound like him. . you know where he ith?

[dignitydwells]

[Frowning softly, she shook her head just a tiny bit.] That's a bit difficult to answer. I have seen him around a time or two, but this place is a bit...

well, you could say different. Magical, really, in the sense that the same person can be here twice or more, from different places.

[13_and_counting]

That ith pwetty magical. [He looks awed by that concept, then imagines what it would be like to see himself without a piece of glass or water source to act as reflection.

The thought kind of made him smile.]

What kinda pwace are you from den?

[dignitydwells]

My world is much like yours, actually. [There was a bit of a pause as she smiled for just a moment at that.] The only major difference is that everyone is the opposite gender of what they are in your world, more than likely.

[13_and_counting]

. . . [Tilts his head, confused.]

Huh?

[dignitydwells]

Let me try something else. [Sighs softly.] I'm England, lad.

[13_and_counting]

. . . [shakes his head adamantly]

Nuh-uh!

[dignitydwells]

You're certainly the stubborn one, aren't you. I know exactly who I am.

[13_and_counting]

Pwove it!

[dignitydwells]

And what would you like me to do to prove it? Pull out some magical document that declares that I'm England? Point to the unicorn in the corner that's shaking her head at you?

[13_and_counting]

Unicorn?

[He looks over, his eyes widening as well as his mouth. Runs towards the creature and extends a hand to pet its head.]

You wook just wike the one m' brother has!
