*Is already wearing a dress! ...Perhaps not proper evening wear, but close enough to pass inspection. Pokes her head in curiously.*

Oh, a ball!

[comingoutfine]

Ah, I see. It's interesting to hear, at any rate.

[thats_terrible]

It must be fascinating to witness a different time. In some ways, I wish I were farther removed from home. Although meeting people like yourself is of course an experience in itself.

[comingoutfine]

Yes, it's all been terribly fascinating. Things like magic, and alternate worlds, to say nothing of the time difference - I never would have believed it before!

[thats_terrible]

I hadn't known about magic and alternate worlds myself. My own world seems rather pedestrian.

[comingoutfine]

I suppose that coming here must be a shock to a good many people.

Where is your home, by the way?

[thats_terrible]

Almost everyone, I believe.

Metropolis, a city in Kansas. It's to the northwest of here.

[comingoutfine]

What is it like there?

[thats_terrible]

Busy. At least, Metropolis is. A lot of people, very tall buildings. That sort of place. You're from England, correct?

[comingoutfine]

Yes, from London.

[thats_terrible]

Metropolis is something like Kansas's London.

[goodwillrising]

Looks that way, doesn't it?

[comingoutfine]

Yes. What a pleasant surprise!

[goodwillrising]

Do you like balls?

[comingoutfine]

Oh, yes. They're one of the things I've liked best about coming out into society.

[goodwillrising]

Society -- oh! You're um. Are you from the 19th century?
