Blue was, to put it in terms her father would have hated, pissed.  For the first time in her life she'd been making friends (and all right, they were a little bit crazy and sometimes she hated them and assumed they felt the same, but - still); and besides that, he'd promised they would stay the entire year.  She was intent on fuming alone for as

"Jury's out. I'm going with 'This Land,' as vague but accurate." Molly smiles a bit. "Nothing else would be more helpful anyway."

[startling_blue]

"'This Land,'" Blue mutters. "Right." A bit awkwardly, she cracks a smile and says, "I'm Blue."

[knightsdaughter]

She smiles back. "Molly. Hi. If you want to think of a better name, I'm all for it. No one to contradict you."

[startling_blue]

"I'll think about it," Blue laughs. Glancing around, she feels compelled to ask the most obvious question, namely: "How did I end up here?"

"I believe it is called 'The Mansion.'"

OOC: *fangirls tremendously*

[startling_blue]

"'The Mansion'?" Blue questions. "And... where is 'the Mansion'?"

OOC: Thank you!!

Moriarty shrugs.

"That's what I've been told, at least. And, according to its denizens, the Mansion doesn't exist anywhere. Or, if you prefer, it exists everywhere. People come here from all sorts of worlds and times. Nobody seems to know why or how."

"All sorts of..." She pauses, trying to make sense of this. "So I might run into someone who - I don't know. Fought in the Revolutionary War, or knew Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or - anything?"

"I'm not sure that anyone's really come up with a conclusive answer to that question." Dryly, from his usual couch where he's shuffling cards with one hand.

[startling_blue]

"Fair enough," Blue shrugs. "Despite our general unawareness of what this place is, do we at least have... some idea of what to do while we're here?"

"My lady?" shyly.

[startling_blue]

"Hello," Blue says, matching the boy's timid tone (a bit shocked to be called 'my lady,' but not unpleasantly so). "Do you know where we are?"

[lesser_son]

"Nay, my lady--I think it is some place Between."

[startling_blue]

"Between?" Blue questions. Deciding to end the formality here and now, she tells him, "You don't need to call me 'my lady.' My name's Blue."
