Adelina remained quiet as she listened to the strangers speak. They all, without exception, wore odd clothing. She examined them in turn, trying to decipher where they were from. She supposed the lady with the slanted eyes was from Asia, and her clothing looked familiar to some sketches Adelina had seen in history books she had read, although she would've said it was ancient attire. As for the little boy... he was wearing a little uniform, with a symbol on the side, like a twisted cross. Adelina didn't recognize it at all. Another man was wearing a uniform, yet it was not English. Although the Americans hadn't been part of the British Empire for just under half a century, she didn't believe their uniforms were quite that.. Strange. Perhaps he was from another country, like Ireland, although she heard they were all savages there. One dark haired boy, the one who spoke of his mother in a lilting, foreign accent (It must have been American, they spoke in such a unusual manner) wore a loose, short sleeved shirt, a jacket of the likes she had never seen before, and rather tight pants. His shoes were made of cloth and rubber, and looked extremely worn. She frowned. She had no idea where he could be from. Despite all her study of history, she hadn't seen anything like it before. He had tears in his eyes, but Adelina refused to be moved yet. Not before she knew him. And the most startling of them all, was a woman wearing pants, tighter than the boy before her. Adelina was taken aback. Decent women never wore pants, unless they were immoral. Yet this lady didn't show much skin, nor did she have rouge on her cheeks. Her hair was uncurled, and pulled back into a strict plait. Her shirt glittered like a metal made of different colors.
And then the uniformed man began to speak. "Hello everyone, I am Captain Chad Thoeness, Company Commander of the 4th Force Reconnaissance Company United States Marine Corps. I suggest we all introduce ourselves, as it would seem we will be here for a while. Also based upon observation, I would reason that the Goddess has taken from different times so we should state the year we are from. I am from the year 2012, I am 22 years of age." He too, had an accent like the dark haired boy, but his voice was deeper, calming, but Adelina was confused by what he said. They couldn't simply all be from different times. It was impossible...
"I am Yuan Ying'e, Empress of the Northern Wei Dynasty, daughter of Emperor Xiaoming. I am of 16 years and from the year 544, the middle kingdom." The Asian woman spoke. Her voice was musical, yet she spoke with a voice that demanded respect and consideration. Adelina didn't know what to make of her. An empress from 544 seemed too ridiculous to believe, yet there she was, in front of her.
There was a pause in the introductions. Adelina decided it was her turn to speak. She rose, leaving the sheet on the bed when she realized she wasn't wearing her night robe, but her favourite azure gown. She tried to step forward to introduce herself, but she stumbled, for she has measured the distance between her feet and the ground incorrectly. She stared at the ground, dumbfounded. She had grown overnight. She was far, far taller than she was yesterday, at home. Her dress had evidently been resized to fit her new height, but this, above everything else terrified her. It meant that she was, as she had thought, completely out of control here.
Looking back to her audience, she gathered herself. Taking a deep breath, she straighten her back, lifted her chin and executed the best curtsy she could manage. Rising, she spoke. "I am Lady Adelina Grant, from Darsville's Terrace in Fitzrovia, London. I am 23 years old and the year is 1841. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Adelina didn't lose her edge, and her voice turned out smooth and confident. She would not appear weak in front of these strangers, yet she had to remain a lady. "I would like to say that we mustn't draw conclusions. This may be a delusion. However, if it's reality, we mustn't say what we don't know is true. We are not certain we will stay here forever. Take hope in that fact." She directed her last words at the dark haired boy, with a smile that looked far more assured than she felt.
