[Good mo~rning, Mayfield! It's another beautiful day. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and a certain new arrival was very confused when he woke up in the most comfortable bed he'd ever never seen before.

Creeping downstairs, France examines his surroundings but pretty much everything looks foreign to him, even the floor. Eventually, he

[She used to live on a farm so she's always up early. Looks in the living room to see the small boy]

Hello? Can I help you?

[seniorfilia]

[SCREAMING oh wait.] Ah... Que?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Did you just wake up here?

[seniorfilia]

Oui, I did. You are...?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Tiffany Aching. From the Chalk, Discworld. I'm afraid I have to tell you that all of us here have been kidnapped.

[seniorfilia]

You as well? I'm very sorry, miss, though I've never heard of Discworld. Who by?

[the_wee_big_hag]

Oh you probably haven't. People come from all sorts of different worlds here. It's quite odd but it's something we've had to get used to.

Who are you?

[seniorfilia]

[Very confused by that first bit but cool introductions come before all else.] I, mademoiselle, am the Royaume de France.

[the_wee_big_hag]

[Didn't get that first bit.]

France?

....I think you were here before. You said you were invading the house because England lived here.

[seniorfilia]

I already invaded Angleterre, I hardly need to do it again.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Really? You said you were doing it because it annoyed him.

Anyway, I suspect you don't remember being here. Especially since they seem to have taken you from a different point in your life. You were much older the last time you were here.

[seniorfilia]

... I don't understand.

[the_wee_big_hag]

It's fairly simple. This place takes us from anywhere, anyplace and anytime. So while you were brought from one point in your life, someone you know might be brought in from a different point.

For example. You know England, well at the moment he's old enough that the town has placed him as the father in this house. They place us all in fake families as well. We're not really sure why. But for the moment the town will think you're my little brother.

[seniorfilia]

That... Sounds impossible, mademoiselle.

[the_wee_big_hag]

Of course it does. Everything that happens here seems impossible. Yet it happens and at an alarming frequency.

[seniorfilia]

So... We've been kidnapped and... Angleterre is here too?
