[Inside one of the townhouses is a rather confused Highlander, looking rather as if he's stepped out of the 18th century, if his outfit is anything to go by.] Hey?

[This place is strange, unlike anything he's seen before, and he rubs his eyes in an effort to try and get it to go away. It remains stubbornly where it is...and then the screen lights

[And to completely reinforce the notion that he's in faerieland, there's a fellow with lavender Hair walking around nearby.]

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie's face sets into firm lines when he spots the purple-haired fae walking past, and he marches over to him - his footsteps much louder sounding than normal, thanks to the sound effects. One way or another, he's going to get some answers.]

Hey! What is this place? Why have ye brought me here?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Mu has to raise an eyebrow]

It was not I who brought you here. As to where 'here' is, I'm afraid your guess is as good as mine.

[bonnypiperlad]

No? One of your folk, then. I'll not say it matters much, as long as ye can tell me how...

What do ye mean, 'your guess is as good as mine'? This is your land, is it not?

[lamb_of_gold]

I think you're working under several misconceptions, sir.

[bonnypiperlad]

Oh, aye? [Jamie folds his arms against his chest. The pipes change in tempo to match his mood, which causes him to glance around for a second in mild confusion. But he can't tell where they're coming from still, so he focuses back on the stranger.] Care to enlighten me, then?

[lamb_of_gold]

For one, this is no land of mine.

[bonnypiperlad]

It's not? [Well, maybe he's another type of fae. That could explain it.] Are ye here to visit their court, perhaps?

[lamb_of_gold]

I am here by no will of my own. Which "they" are you referring to?

[bonnypiperlad]

The fairy court, of course. Who else would I be referring to?

[lamb_of_gold]

Fairies?

[Then, more to himself]

It'd make about as much sense as anything.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, fairies. Like yourself.

[lamb_of_gold]

I am no fairie, sir.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Of course he would deny it.] Well, then, who are ye?

[lamb_of_gold]

My name is Mu.

[bonnypiperlad]

[That's not anything like any name Jamie's ever heard, and Mu gets a bit of a odd look.] All right...Mu. If you're not one of the fae, why do ye have that purple hair?
