[It's early in the morning, just a little past dawn when Franziska finds herself standing in the baseball diamond, frustratedly pounding at the buttons of her phone. At first, the post is just in audio.]

...Hello?

[Hum de hum, insomniac Roxas is up early. Too much coffee at work last night.]

Are you okay? Look around-there should be a greeter there to help you. [Unless they got lazy about coming out after siren.]

[Oh, hey, her phone is giving her an actual response now. Totally ignores the image on the screen and instead holds her phone up to her ear per typical usage.]

Hello? Franziska von Karma speaking. Please repeat your message.

[Is she hard of hearing? Oh, well, he'll just repeat himself with better enunciation and a little louder.]

[Winces a little and pulls her phone away from her ear. Oh, there's video too. Strange. She was unaware that her phone had that capability.]

There is no need to speak so loud. It only serves to distort your words and undermine your attempt at communication.

[Stares at the video a little longer.]

Whip lady! Miss von Karma?

[dancing_pierrot]

Speaking.

[isaninjathief]

It's me, Kay! It's amazing that you're here too!

[dancing_pierrot]

[pause]

How did you get my number?

[A pause.]

Franziska?

[dancing_pierrot]

[Well, there's a voice she recognises!]

...Miles Edgeworth?

[mentis_reae]

Are you injured?

[She completely ignores his inquiry in turn for a more pertinent question, when she speaks, her voice is little more than a quiet hiss:]

Where...[she's about to ask 'am I', but quickly decides to change track, hoping that her falter is not too obvious]...are you?

Ah! Good morning, miss, and welcome to Siren's Port! You have had the extreme good fortune of being transported to this city! It isn't the "middle of no where" at all, you see, it is a place in Canada.

But really, it is we who are the lucky ones, to be so honored by the presence of such a lovely young lady as yourself. Truly, the beauty of the morning has been brightened by your arrival, like a mirror reflecting the sun. It is my pleasure, both as a greeter and a king, to welcome you here!

[Looks down at her phone in confusion. Hm. There definitely seems to be some manner of visual output. Peculiar.]

...Considering my intended location, Canada is most certainly 'the middle of nowhe--. Hmph. That's not what's important. Who are you?

Ah, yes, such things are quite troublesome, aren't they! But, yes, I will take this opportunity to introduce myself: I am Suou Tamaki, a fifty percent king, acting as a greeter and a model in this place! So it's my job to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible, and that you completely understand this situation!

You see, you have not been transported to just any old Canada! You have been brought to Siren's Port! It's--

[He drops his voice to an urgent and conspiratorial whisper!]

An alternate dimension!

[heartdissonance]

Well, no, that's subjective. The bit about being funny. [Little girl is peeking.]

[video]

[dancing_pierrot]

This is not in any way amusing!

[heartdissonance]

Sub-jec-tive. 'It takes all sorts,' as the saying goes. Be aware of other mindsets, won't you? Location isn't the only information you need.

[dancing_pierrot]

I...what? I am perfectly aware -- [just. snorts.]
