[Mlle] Reg: Since when isn't the castle open for public viewing, it's not like anyone is even using it!
[LorP] Jakob: The Herrenchiemsee has been closed to civilians since 1886. Only those with authorization from the War Department are allowed on the grounds. I don't suppose you have clearance from Secretary Reid, now do you?
[Mlle] Reg: This has to be some kind of big joke . . .Did the guys at the office hire you? Because man, I don't know if I'll ever be able to live this one down . . . Theo: : laughs to himself further in the prison :
[LorP] Jakob: *glances to Theo's cell out of the corner of his eye* Last chance, or I'll have you locked up along with that nut, where are you from?
[Mlle] Reg: 1900 West Indian Head Avenu Phoenix, Arizona 85388 USA, -That's the United States of America-, Earth, The Solar System, far out on a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Universe. . ..
[LorP] Jakob: *blinks, looks very had at one of the guards for a moment, then turns back* All right, come meet your new cellmate. I'm sure you and Paracelsus will have plenty to talk about while I'm reporting your little "tour".
[LorP] (is that Jen's address? XD)
[Mlle] no
[Mlle] I just made it up
[LorP] hehehe, kay
[LorP] Reg is in for a nasty surprise >_>
[Mlle] Reg: You're all a buncha Nazis!
: is dragged to the cell : Theo: Hi 
I'm Theo, but you can call me Paracelsus! [LorP] Jakob: We found this one wandering through the little door in the Palace, Theo. Maybe you're familiar with where she's from. *locks the cell and marches off*
[Mlle] Theo: Ha. . . .hahaha . . . : laughs giddily: Reg: Shut the hell up!
Theo: : does so, but keeps grinning crazily : Reg: : sizes him up, and, in the mood she's in now, thinks she could take him : If you come any closer, I swear I'll kick [Mlle] your ass! >:{}
[LorP]
[Mlle] Theo: Agreed! . . . But is it true? Did you really come from a place you call America? Did you really come from . . .the other side of the archway?
[Mlle] Reg: What are you talking about!? Listen, just shut up! I need to think. . .: paces :
[LorP] Jakob: *goes to grant extra leaves to the soldiers and send a telegram to London*
[Mlle] Theo: But what if it's really true? : serious : If that's the case, then you're in far more danger than you realise . . I am telling you right now, that those people will not hesitate to kill you if you came through that door. . . .
[LorP] (oh noes! XD)
[Mlle] Reg: What's the big deal about what door I went through? So I got a little lost . . . what is wrong with this place!
[Mlle] (oh did you have something planned? )
[LorP] (no, go on )
[Mlle] Theo: You want to know what I think? Reg: Do I really have a choice? Theo: I think you come from another universe. Reg:
. . . . what? Theo: No, no, hear me out . .. I think you came from beyond this world. [Mlle] Reg: You really are insane. .. Theo: Possibly, but it's the reason they will kill you, even if there's the slightest chance . . .
[LorP] Hanoverian guard: *bursts out laughing* You shouldn't mind Theo, miss, he's a li'l crazy bugger.
[Mlle] Theo: :alarmed that the guard had overheard, but runs with it : And you know what else? I believe in your America. I totally believe you came from such a place .. . Do you they have talking animals in america? and are the streets paved with gold?
[Mlle] Reg: Only in Hollywood . . .
[LorP] Guard: *leans into the bars and pseudo-whispers* 'e thinks your a Knight, a King even. Out of his mind, he is.
[LorP] (*makes things difficult for you* )
[Mlle] (hahaha fine with me, more fun that way )
[Mlle] Reg: : snorts : What!? Theo: All hail King of the Swans : drops to his knees and kowtows : At your lordship's desiring, I shall appoint myself court physician, Greater than the Great Celsus! Theophrastus of Eisedeln, Lord protector of Hohenhiem
[Mlle] castle.
[Mlle] Reg: : to the guard: Look. can't you medicate him or something?
[LorP] Guard: *guffaws* Nothin' for 'im, miss. Total loon. 'e ain't comin' back Theo, didn' your mum ever tell you it's just a story?
[Mlle] Theo: ha! Just a story! That's what they said about the Great Elixer, didn't they? But here I am . . 400 years later, the living proof! All great stories are grounded in truth, don't you know that?
[LorP] Guard: *shakes his head and taps the bars* You learn to sleep through it eventually. *heads off back to his desk*
[Mlle] ( )
[Mlle] Theo: The Swan King- Queen . . I suppose. .. fitting really . . .
[Mlle] Reg: Listen, I've had probably the worst day of my life, and I'm developing a migraine, can you please just shut up for a while?
[LorP] Guard: *receding laughter from the shadows*
[Mlle] Reg: : flumps down on the rather hard bottom bunk and makes a frustrated noise and flings an arm over her head : Theo: : watches the guard recede,
[Mlle] scrambles up to the top bunk and peeks his head down over the side, whispering : Now we can talk privately . . .
[LorP] ( )
[Mlle] Reg: What part of 'leave me the hell alone' didn't you understand?
[Mlle] Theo: The part about leaving you alone, because frankly I can't ... a whole country hangs in the balance, you see .. .
[Mlle] Theo: Actually it's a little less balanced than I would hope. . . Actually it looks pretty hopeless. . . .but now that you're here things will change, I'm sure.
[Mlle] Reg: . . .
[LorP]
[Mlle] Theo: You probably don't know the story of the Swan King . ..do you?
[Mlle] Reg: . . . : figures if she ignores him, he'll go away :
[Mlle] Theo: Well, the long and the short of it is that , once, a long time ago, Germany was in trouble. But in the nick of time, a king took the throne, that legend says arrived in a boat drawn by a swan. -that's why he's called the Swan King- he saved the
[Mlle] kingdom, but then . . .after many years of prosperity, he dissapeared . . . Legend says through a magic door to another world. .. some say the home of the gods. . .
[Mlle] and, well he hasn't returned since . . until you came . ..
[Mlle] Reg: . . . : can't help but snort : post
[Mlle] Reg: : even though Theo's gone silent, can't help but feel he's still looking at her and it's annoying : Okay, yeah you're forgetting something . . . A) I'm not a guy. B) I'm not royalty. and C) I sure as hell am not old enough to be from the legenda
[Mlle] legendary past.
[LorP] XD
[Mlle] Theo: All of those things are mere technicalities . .. Of course you're not the same person. What matters is /you went through the doorway/. I don't suppose you have the legend of King Arthur in your world do they?
[Mlle] Reg: Yeah. . .
[Mlle] Theo: Well it's something like the sword in the stone. . . A previous great king left a sword stuck into stone that only the true king could remove . . .It's the same with the archway.
[Mlle] Theo: Only better because it's not British.
[LorP] ( yes! XD )
[Mlle] Reg: . . . What's wrong with King Arthur . . . ?
[Mlle] Theo: I don't suppose The British Empire rules a good lot of civilization in your world? This America . . is it a British outpost? I see you speak English . .
[LorP] (remember America's the name of the continent too
)[Mlle] ( right . .XD United States then )
[LorP] (hehehe)
[Mlle] Reg: . . . There's no British Empire anymore . . . The Colonies became independant and forged their own countries. Why am I talking like I actually believe a word your saying?
[Mlle] Theo: :sounding impressed: Wow. . . what's that like?
[Mlle] Reg: What's what like?
[Mlle] Theo: Not being ruled by the Queen?
[LorP] (Empress
)[Mlle] (XD Sorry XD )
[LorP] (no worries, I keep making the same mistake >_> )
[Mlle] Reg: Um . . . I don't know . . . There really aren't very many monarchies anymore . .. In Britain, there's a royal family, but it's really the parliament that does most of the decision making . . . And in the United States we have a president that is el
[Mlle] elected by the people.
[Mlle] Theo: Wierd . . .
[Mlle] (hmm what else should I cover? )
[LorP] (on the differences between the two worlds?)
[Mlle] (I have the swan king myth, the parralell universe thing . . . what else needs to be said )
[LorP] (apart from steampunk, which I think you'd have to notice later, I think those are all the major concepts we have for this so far >_> )
[Mlle] ( : nod nod : )
[Mlle] Theo: : rights himself on the upper bunk abruptly: Well, we should get some sleep . . . we have a busy day tomorrow. . .
[LorP]
[LorP] (that's got to be a totally bewildering situation >_> )
[Mlle] (Reg: You're tellin' me ...
[Mlle] )
[LorP] hehehe
[LorP] how're they going to get out?
[Mlle] Reg: Oh yes . . . First thing tomorrow, I'm calling my lawyer . . . and the embassy-
[Mlle] Theo: No no . . tomorrow's the day we plan our escape. . .
[Mlle] Reg:
what? [Mlle] Theo: : in a sing song tone : Goodniiiight . .. .
[Mlle] Reg: . . . : mutters to herself, trying to get comfortable : . . .freaking insane. .
