[One man, reaching middle age with a wary expression on his face. Then he smirks - the smirk dissolves into a smile but those who are observant, very very observant - might be aware that the smile is not genuine. He runs a hand through his hair with something tucked under his arm.]

I was going to have today off anyway. You know. I get that I'm not dreaming and I get that I'm not going to be able to get back.

[At that, his eyes widen and there's a sense - especially to those of you who might be extra observant that this might be a good thing. Or an unusual thing. It's not something he's had time to process yet.

The expression goes dark.]

Which is pretty fucking rude if you don't mind my saying so. There any order to this spontaneous kidnapping people for riding on turtles sort of thing?

[he is betting no. however.] This would be the part where I flash my badge and introduce myself as Detective Hoffman.[He does so. One handed out of habit before realizing it and sticking it back in his pocket.] ...or indulge that habit and ask people if there's anything that I need to know about being here that's not in the welcoming committee.

...I'd appreciate any response.

[And the policeman turns off the feed and waits.]

Dragons that are riding on a turtle?

[He wonders if he's losing his mind.]

It is a very large turtle.

...Why can't you fly off?

There is a barrier; and besides that neither I nor Temeraire can fly very far at all, at the present.

...They didn't clip your....

wings.

Did they?

Oh! of course not, I would hardly let them, I should burn them to a crisp first.

You can do that?

[why would they let fire breathing things..]

Of course I can. [And if she sounds a little sulky about it, well -- being depowered hasn't been exactly pleasant.]
