Thunder and lightening beat down on the ground, as you rush back to your home. It didn't help that 90% of the subway lines were down for due to this damned storm. You just prayed that your home still had power.
The streets are packed with a rainbow of dull colored coats and umbrellas. Cars honking and people shouting drown out the pitter patter of the rain, despite its powerful rhythm. You just focus on taking one step in front of the other and to just get home.
Just before you turned onto your street, you see a strange man—Leopold— run across the road into the rain. Normally, you would just have ignored him; however, he is running in the direction of where you're headed. Quietly, you adjust the grip of your umbrella and swiftly make your way down the street. While you are approaching your place, the man spots you and comes running up to you.
Unfortunately, you are in no state to run in with your slick soles. You just try to ignore him but it doesn't work. He taps your shoulder, "Excuse me, is there any chance where you can tell me where we are?"
You look around. "New York..."
You try to walk again but he stops you. "You must jest, this is not New York."
As you take a deep breath in, you stare at this Ren Fair reject. "Who are you?"
"Leopold Alexis Elijah Walker Thomas Gareth Mountbatten, Duke of Albany. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." He sticks his hand out for you to take, but you don't. "Now would you please tell me, where we are?"
