[Wolfram doesn't look exactly...happy as the golem hovers in front of him. He is currently in the Order's library, and it's a wonderful source of flammable material sitting at a table with the perfect posture of a veteran soldier.]

Alright, what the hell is going on?

You have been taken away from your homeworld by mishap on behalf of a flawed time machine created by the Black Order, this facility in which you had arrived at. I hope that answers your question.

[Informative she is.]

[audio]

[emeraldfirebird]

Time machine? Basically, you're telling me that some idiot was trying to mess around with time, and screwed up? Great.

[A slightly frustrated sigh.]

What's this 'Black Order' about?

[audio]

[san_or_kun]

I doubt that it was a simpleton who created the mechanism or else it would not have been able to have produced such an outcome. Though it is flawed, the fact that such a machine exists is quite extraordinary, do you not agree?

[A pause.]

I only know that this place works in secret, underneath the Vatican to rid this world of 'Akuma'. Anything else, you must ask others about. I apologize.

My name is Shirogane Naoto is you have any further questions.

Even fools can make something genius on accident. ...I will admit that it is interesting. If it were better, it would make dimensional travel easier.

...Vatican? [Pardon him, there's no such thing in his world.]

Wolfram von Bielefelt. A pleasure, Naoto.

[audio]

[san_or_kun]

A pleasure to speak with you as well, Wolfram-san.

Unfortunately, I must agree, but I still do not believe it was a foolish person who created it. As for dimension traveling, I feel that would make things rather difficult. [As an afterthought.] Do you normally travel between worlds?

The Holy See, or the Vatican as it is commonly referred to, is the papal universal government of the Catholic Church. It is operated by the Pope and the Roman Curia, who have complete power of it. This organization that we have been brought to, the Black Order, seems to apply to "behind-the-scenes" work for the them. Private work, so to say. [Annnd, that's probably a bunch of foreign words.]

Not normally, but I have done so before between my world and my fiance's Earth. It requires energy if the Priestess does this, however my fiance doesn't need that because of who he is.

.... [He can get a general idea of it.] Basically, it boils down to religion, correct?

[audio]

[san_and_kun]

[She's glad she's not on video because her face turns bright red at his comment.] H-he? [Voice a tad bit to high for her liking, Naoto takes a moment to clear her throat.] Ah... Please excuse me. Your... aforementioned fiancé must miss you greatly and I suppose you miss him as well? My condolences for you being separated from a loved one. [A pause.] Oh? I am from Earth. Japan, specifically. If you don't mind my asking, what country is he from? And what is the name of your homeworld?

...Who is your fiancé? [She's intrigued with how he phrased it.] That sounds quite interesting about the necessity of energy though.

Yes, to put it simply, it deals with religion.

[audio]

[emeraldfirebird]

My thanks. He is also from Japan, and my country's name is Shin Makoku.

[He has a feeling this Naoto person will figure it out really fast, and that it's just not worth hiding it from him.] He is the King of my land. In our world, it is common for two individuals of the same sex to get married. We find nothing wrong with it.

It's because the Priestess is using magic to transport two or more people between dimensions. Our King can do the same thing, however...it is usually accidental.

Great.

[audio]

[kun_and_san]

You're welcome, Shin Makoku? An interesting name, but I have never heard of it.

[Naoto's silent for a moment, as that wasn't - it just was - she still...] I'm sorry, but it wasn't that I had any objections, I only... [She trails off.] I assure you I meant no mockery.

More magic... [She says it aloud to herself.] Your fiancé is the King of your world? How, if he is from Earth? [That little detail seemed odd.] Did he accidentally become King? ['How do you accidentally go between dimensions on a regular basis?' She frowns at the thought.]

[audio]

[emeraldfirebird]

It's only well-known on my world. In Earth, it would probably translate as the Great Demon Kingdom.

Don't worry about it. I am sure that our customs will be drastically different.

His soul traveled to Earth for safety's sake. Our world was in the middle of a long war, and it was safer to have our King raised in a place that wasn't in the middle of it. ...Yes, in a way. He fell into a pool of water, and was transported into our world. [Well...it's more like he was flushed into their world. But Wolf doesn't know that.]

[audio]

[kun_and_san]

[She blinks for a moment.] Demon Kingdom? ['If what he speaks is true then should I consider...? Hn. A visual examination will probably become necessary to conclude anything.' There's a somewhat medium bout of silence momentarily as she mulls over her thoughts.]

Most likely so, but I sill must apologize for my reaction, Wolfram-san.

I see. [She won't say anything more on the accidental sovereignty.] So has the war ended now that your King has returned? [Probably a good thing he doesn't know. Muns know though! :D And its times like these that I wish my KKM DVDs weren't stuck on the other side of the world. B|] Peculiar, yet amazing.
