Well, this is just bloody brilliant.

Unless they’re lying. They could be lying. I don’t feel any different. I certainly don’t feel more sodding real than I did before… but this isn’t London. Magic, maybe? Could be. Maybe I’m dreaming. Pinching doesn’t work though so it must be one hell of a good---… Maybe I’m dead? Oh, bloody hell, what if I am dead? How the bloody fuck did that happen?!

No, no… Calm down, Arthur…

… Thinking about it, I suppose I should have expected it, if I’m honest, but who the bloody hell is going to entertain for a moment the idea that they’re fictional? The world’s always felt perfectly real to me and I… ah, bollocks… I’m not dealing with this very well...

...

No, I wouldn't expect you to remember me, I should have said something. Um, welcome?

[rule_britannia]

I can't tell you how much of a sodding relief it is to know somebody here. Ah.. thank you.. I think..

[sunflowersister]

Oh actually, there's a few of us, too! My sister and Poland, though I haven't seen the others in a while.

I don't suppose you can tell me anything about this bloody place.

sure, russia could have been here

[sunflowersister]

Probably not much, I haven't been here long either. Um, we got overrun with cats a few weeks ago?

[rule_britannia]

... Cats? You don't say. I wonder if that kind of thing happens often.

[sunflowersister]

According to everyone else, it does. I mean, not cats specifically, but just weird and inexplicable things like that.

[rule_britannia]

Ah-hah... well, isn't that interesting...

[sunflowersister]

Mostly it's just really stressful.

[rule_britannia]

Mm, I can imagine that to be the case.

[sunflowersister]

And it's really frustrating to not know what's going on back home? But I guess I like cats better than I like political drama, so it's kind of like an incredibly confusing vacation that you can't make go away.

But it's nice to see more of us here!

[sunflowersister]

I mean, not that I'm glad you're stuck here too! I just

[sunflowersister]

Oh bother, never mind.
