There weren't a lot of things that could shock Neal. He could keep his cool under even the most pressing of circumstances, had enough luck to get out of the worst of them, and could usually smooth talk his way out of anything else. And it wasn't as if he hadn't seen in fair share of strangeness in his life - sure things had been a lot strange these past few weeks in Chicago, but still, he could live with that.

But this...this was something else completely. Somehow, between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, he had not only jumped across the ocean, but also traveled what looked like five hundred years into the past (if their clothes were any indication and heaven help him, he did not want to think about).

So it would be no surprise that the first thing out of his mouth was, "Son of a bitch."

This was not real.

Then again, that's exactly what Linkara had thought when he'd first arrived in Chicago, and that had turned out to be much more real than he liked. All he could hope was that the vampires hadn't followed them here...although those vampires had been fish people, the Doctor in Chicago obviously wasn't that far yet, and if the lack of canals here was anything to judge by, this wasn't Venice. That much, at least, was a relief.

Though on the upside, Chicago hadn't changed his clothes, which was actually weirder than just about anything else. At least he still had his magic gun and - he reached up - his hat. Whoever was in charge of this had a weird sense of humor. "Well, either this is the most accurate Renaissance festival I've ever seen," he remarked flatly, "or we're being jerked around again."

First the Hunt and now this. Honestly, he shouldn't be surprised and mostly he wasn't. Really the first reaction John had was frustration. He'd suspected there would be some sort of transport involved, after all the statue of David wasn't anywhere NEAR Chicago. The post telling them to steal the David had been indicative of that. However he had never suspected time travel. Besides that, they'd never told him if he was getting paid for this. Was he expected money? Not really, but some extra facts or even a hint or two about things would have been nice

Sure, Etna had agreed to steal this statue. She didn't know what the big deal about it was, aside from its apparent expensiveness, but if it got them one step closer to getting out of that human world and her back home, she was happy. Hell, she'd be happy with a monetary compensation
