[There is a very pronounced rustle of taffeta skirts and ivory satin, followed by a huff of a rather perturbed lady. The accent that comes forth is upper-crust London, make no mistake.]

Of all the bothers. To wake up in the middle of some -- some wasteland! How very unnecessary and inefficient. One must hope, if one is kidnapped, to have the

What would constitute an efficient kidnapping?

[Alexia's brown eyes get suddenly quite wide, and though she gives a start, she doesn't drop the device. Instead she proceeds to give the image of Iroh a rather severe look.]

Are you asking me for lessons? I can assure you, good sir, that I would not be the one to consult, nor can I direct you to someone who makes a regular and successful practice of it -- though the wax man continues to attempt it.

Perhaps you could speak to him, if he does have a voice.

[She gives a shudder of disgust.]

Oh no! I don't need lessons. [laughing]

I take it you are new to this place. Welcome to Adstringendum.

[homo_exanimus]

Why thank you sir.

[A small smile.]

It seems so. What a curious name for a city. Latin?

[homo_exanimus]

[Though she says nothing, her eyes are snapping and darkly annoyed.]

And to whom am I speaking?

[A perfectly level look back. Either she doesn't believe him and has decided there is no point in arguing with an obviously deranged older gentleman kidnapper, or she's something else entirely.]

How do you do?

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

There are more of those horrible beings?

[She snaps her parasol, agitatedly.]

Please, do continue.

[homo_exanimus]

Are we speaking of the same wax men in this case?

It's not a kidnapping if there's no ransom, lady.

[homo_exanimus]

An abduction, then- and no more skillfully done when it's one nonsense or the other.

[Give her a moment, and she will settle herself down within her mass of skirts on a half-broken wall, parasol at her side.]

And who might you be, young man?

[saintedsinner]

Abduction's a better way to name it.

-=He's more or less polite. She's a lady of breeding, and he can tell.=-

Edward Elric, ma'am. And you are?

[homo_exanimus]

So I am finding. How terribly mixed up- rather like a draft of strong cognac when one is expecting to imbibe champagne.

[She nods, politely.]

Alexia Tarabotti, Mr. Elric. A pleasure.

You're not the only one who's been kidnapped. I know it sounds insane, but you've actually been taken from your world--and so have the rest of us--and been dumped here.

[homo_exanimus]

[There is a moment in which Alexia very carefully examines the young lady. She seems thoughtful, carefully and seriously considering what she's saying.]

Really, dear, perhaps we should start with introductions.

[video]

[coraltaijiya]

Ah, sorry. Most people are more interested in finding out why they're here than who they're here with. I'm Sango, and this [two-tailed kitty on the shoulder meowing, go!] is Kirara.

[video]

[homo_exanimus]

Generally so, [Alexia nods.] But if I am correct in my thinking, I will be not be leaving this place terribly soon. Therefore introductions are of utmost importance.

Alexia Tarabotti. A pleasure, Miss Sango. And... what is this manner of creature?

[Blunt, but utterly curious.]
