[Here, turtlefolk, have a teenage boy who is still a little bit zonked from landing on his ass in the palace. There is a Chinese dragon on his shirt, if anyone's at all interested in dragons. From what can be seen, his suite looks like it's in mild disarray; he got angry enough to break a couple things once he was alone and did not do such a good job cleaning it up from the camera's view. He looks mildly upset.]

I-- I don't understand why I'm here, I--

They gave me this place, they told me I have to work...I'm not really trapped, am I? I can't be. This doesn't make sense.

[He stops talking half-to himself and focuses his attention on the camera again.]

I guess I have to work under the assumption that this is all real, until proven otherwise. Even if I'm still not entirely sure what's going on.

Anyone care to enlighten me? The...kedan...weren't all that helpful.

Not really? I'm just not used to it.

[ amused: ] That proves you've got more foresight than some of the people here. What's your name?

[That's hilarious. Also amused: ] I hope that's a compliment.

I'm Gene. You?

[Gene's pretty much all surprised out by this point, so the talking dragon being from 200 years in the past is not alarming at all.]

Right now it's a single-party republic, run by the Communist Party.

[Oh shit, does he have to explain communism now?]

A lot has happened in the last 200 years. But I'm guessing it's not going to play out the same way in your world, since we don't have dragons.

[Now that would be a game-changer.]

[The Reyes do their best to be good people and help others out who need it. Gene needs it.]

If you need anything, just let me know. I'm in EA-1A.

I'm Bianca Reyes, but please, just call me Bianca.

... All right.

Then, at least for now, I would like to keep calling you with this name.

[No he doesn't. He's been doing just fine on his own. Just. Fine.]

Gene Khan, FI-1C.

Uh. Thanks.

Okay. Sure.

[This kid is weirdly polite.]

Raven. Has someone given you the general rundown on this place yet?

Oh, a republic! [A pleased rumble.] That is very good of them, though I am sure the Imperial family were not at all pleased, to lose all their fine things like that. [Pause.] But surely it is not very sensible, to have a single party--unless everyone in China is in agreement with one another?

Well, I suppose not--although it is very strange that nearly everyone from Earth has heard of England, and France, and Napoleon in particular; one might have thought even that should have turned out very differently, without dragons.

[shhh don't think about it too hard temrer]

[That sort of thing happens when you grow up learning how to maneuver yourself around trouble and criminal adults.]

... Well, I'm a child myself, so there's no need for you to be so formal with me. It'd be strange to be, wouldn't it?

I know we're stuck here, time's frozen where we came from, we're here to fight that thing, and something about a turtle.

Also that we appear to be underwater.

Those are the basics, though the last one is a new development. If you feel like more detail, I can help with that.

Details would be appreciated.

N-no, not everyone in China agrees with one another. It's...it doesn't work as well as you might think. [No government does, kiddo.]

Maybe. [Sudden thought.] So where you come from - are all the great historical figures aligned with dragons somehow? You mentioned Napoleon. What about, uh, Saladin? Or Genghis Khan? [Bringing up conquerors, VERY CASUAL-LIKE.]
