[A rather handsome -- Or at least he thinks so -- man is frowning at the screen. He looks rather serious, though he gives the impression he doesn't look serious very often. He still needs a little practice. Nonetheless, he sounds fairly unamused.]

This is Captain James T. Kirk from the Federation Starship Enterprise. I've apparently been transported

[Jim raises his eyebrows, looking unimpressed. Still, Jim, no sense picking fights over less-than-deferential handling of your title-- it's not like you respect authority.]

Good to know. Who's us?

[Kirk looks a little wary - He loves getting information about other people, but he's not so keen to give out his own. Still, for now, there's no harm in it. He can regret things later.]

I was heading a five-year mission to explore new worlds and new civilizations. Don't think this is what they had in mind. [This is totally what they had in mind, isn't it. Well, they haven't made him marry anyone! ...Yet.]

[A pleasantly-smiling blond comes onto the video screen. She looks sympathetic.]

I'll try to help out if you want. I've been here awhile, but some of it is kind of hard to understand.

[Video]

[headthataway]

[Now that's more like it. Jim, behave.]

I'm just grateful for the help, miss. [he grins.] What is this place? Besides [a shithole] run down?

[Video]

[buntails]

[The fact it's a cute blonde-haired face might make the behaving part hard.]

This is called Adstringendum. It's not where any of us came from. We just... The Animus brought here. Something like that.

[headthataway]

[Jim always finds behaving a little difficult, especially in the face of cute girls.]

[Still, he's remaining focused!] The Animus? What - or who - is that?

[Video]

[headthataway]

...Uh. Sort of. Yes.

[Video]

[headthataway]

[Oh god this is not what Jim signed up for. Do not make him break the Prime Directive, tiny excited bald kid.]

That's...pretty long and complicated to explain. They fly through the sky, just like airships. [Also, what the heck is an airship?]

[capuletnomore]

[Most of these descriptors go right over Juliet's head. But she understands the rank and the fact that he's new.]

This place is most strange, good Captain. And no one as of yet has determined how to get home. We are all here from different places and, strange though it may seem, from different times.

[headthataway]

[This girl also gets the Jim Kirk seal of approval, though he tries to keep the flirty grins to a minimum. For now.]

That's interesting. Does anyone seem to be in charge of this place? A leader, or a group of people? Do they know what's going on?

[capuletnomore]

I've heard tell of people in the fortress at the center of town, but have not seen them. And the Animus toy with us, and from what I've been told, are the creatures that brought us here.

As for people in charge among the prisoners here, I do not believe so. Her Majesty the Queen of England has said nothing of any such people in charge.

[headthataway]

[See, and now Jim's been derailed.]

The <>Queen of England?

[gotbackupagain]

[... Holy shit. The Animus really can bring anyone in.]

No getting home from here yet. [A beat] Welcome to Adstringéndum.

[Video]

[headthataway]

[Well, she sounds hot. ...Ignoring the fact that that doesn't make sense, he'll focus on the fact that he has a name for this place, now.]

Adstringéndum. Well, great to be here. For now. [He smirks.] I like the word yet.

voice

[gotbackupagain]

[Yeah she kind of looks like she got in a fight with a wall right now; no video for you Cap'n.]

It's a strong 'yet'. A lot of us don't give up that easy. [She pauses, thoughtful.] So what do you know so far? If anything.

[Video]

[headthataway]

People here are pretty god about information. I get that Animus is what keeps us here, and they're in the middle of the city. Apparently going and confronting them is a bad plan.
