[Dende was idly walking the halls with his nose in a book, unbeknownst to him he's about to walk right by Tom's room]

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[Sees a green man about his height, maybe a little taller walk by and runs toward the door, slides to a stop and blinks.]

Holy....

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

[Dende jumps in surprise and fumbles with his book almost dropping it]

Ah! H-h-hello sir... c-can I help you?

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[He looks from his door at the plaque, at Dende, down the hall then back at Dende with a shocked expression.]

Uh.....where am I and is there some costume party that I don't know about? It's a little late for Halloween.

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

N-no I'm afraid n-not sir. Th-this is how I normally look. Y-you must be new here...

[He takes a deep breath. Explaining to others that they've been kidknapped by a 16-year-old with the power of a god wasn't getting any easier regardless of how many times he explained it]

Um... it's a rather complicated explanation... i-if you would like to sit down...

[In person]

[junior_cop]

What's so hard to explain that you're an alien.

[Even that sounded weird to Tom but he's not beyond the weird himself. He's seen a lot. This is just a first of a long list of many more to come.]

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

Ah yes, well um that... that is rather obvious isn't it? Yes, well I mean no, I mean, yes I am, but no that's not what I mean!

[He nervously clears his throat trying to regain his ability to complete proper sentences]

What I meant was, where you are. You've probably noticed that this is not where you remember being last correct?

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[Once his reason took full hold, he visibly relaxes and his shoulders drop slightly with a relieved exhale.]

Okay, just take a deep breath and let's start over. [holds out his hand] Hi. I'm Tom.

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

Alright.

[Dende chuckles and shake Tom's hand]

It's a pleasure to eet you Mr. Tom, I am Dende.

[In person]

[junior_cop]

Nice to meet you, Dende. Okie dokie, so we got that done, on to step 2. Where are we?

[He's looking at that plaque and scrunches his nose pointing at it.]

Looks like who brought us here has a weird sense of humor. Officer Thomas Edward Hanson Jr. "Kiddie Cop of the Year"? Seriously?

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

We are at a place called 'The Manor'.

[He tries to stiffle a little chuckles at the 'title' under his name]

Well, if it's any consolation Mr. Tom there's a man down the hall with the longest name I've ever seen. And, well, your nameplate would be the Author's doing. She's the one who brought us here.

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[Chin lowers, his eyes move from the plaque to Dende.]

'She'. Okay, the Manor I get but why us? What's our purpose in this place?

[He's hoping for some answers but isn't entirely sure.]

And last question, who's the dude with the longest name?

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

Well... that I'm not sure exactly. From what I gather she's just a young adolescent girl. Her motivation appears to simply be none but pure amusement.

[Dende chuckles and thinks about it for a moment trying to recall the full name]

Charles-Geneviève-Louis-Auguste-André-Timothée d'Éon de Beaumont.... I'm honestly surprised they fit the entire name on a plaque...

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[Thank goodness Tom wasn't drinking anything otherwise he would have sprayed it out.]

Wonderful, a teenage kidnapper that collects poster boys.

[He can't hold back his laughter despite that he feels very awkward about it.]

And wow, that name's a mouthful. Sounds like a name given to a Persian cat at some show.

[In person]

[holy_pickle]

Well there are a number of women here as well...

[He chuckles again]

And I would hardly consider myself a poster boy... you know being a green with antennae doesn't seem to be key traits for teenage idols...

I believe he's French or something to that effect...

[In person]

[junior_cop]

[Looks Dende over.] Are you kidding me? I've seen humans that would kill for that jawline and physique you have going on. No seriously.

[Thinks about the name a wrinkles his nose.] I'll have to call him Frenchie Fry or something. That name....yikes.
