It begins with a flash of blinding light.

No matter what they’re doing, the light is so stunning that they pause to shield their eyes. Logically, it seems like such a bright light would hurt their eyes, and yet somehow, it’s not painful at all. It’s strange, but stranger still, a moment later, the ground underneath them is gone. They’re falling, and it feels like they’re falling for a long time as their eyes adjust after that light.

Yet, it’s not long at all—they’re only falling five feet or so. But as they, and others, appear in the air, there’s a shriek of alarm.

“Beryl—Go!!”

A man’s voice shouts after the scream, and as their eyes adjust, they’ll see two blurry figures, the woman running away while the man briefly stands his ground with a dagger raised before he takes advantage of the confusion to flee as well and cover her. You, and all of the other disoriented strangers, have been left alone. There might be a few bruises from the fall, but otherwise, there are no new injuries. It’s a strange lobby, but nothing about it seems helpful to reveal where you are. Following the two figures is fruitless too, since the door at the end of that hallway is sealed shut with magic—no one will be able to pass through.

So, just where are you?

I haven't, I'm afraid-- [Lithuania gives her the blow, albeit after he backs off enough that it won't be as bad as it could have been, in favor of striking downward in an attempt to disarm her.]

--but most people have heard of Europe as well.

[ Her turn to step back. She is not used to wearing such armor, so she doesn't move fast enough to avoid Lithuania's sword entirely. It hits the armor over her skirt. ]

Then this is truly a clash of worlds! Wouldn't you say so?

[ Here comes a horizontal strike from Lithuania's left! ]
