[Hello Somarium. It's been a while. Bear witness to a very put-together looking young boy, perhaps about 14-years-old, hair falling over one side of his face, barely obscuring the black eyepatch. He's wearing an appropriate autumn suit, obviously a bit dated (late 1800's) but still sharp looking. He clears his throat, then faces the camera squarely, and when he speaks, it's with a British accent.]

Good Afternoon, residents of Somarium. I wished to apologize for my absence, and any inconvenience my condition may have caused to anyone who wished to speak with me. Sebastian has assured me you were all seen to, so I hope there are no hard feelings. Should anyone wish, I would be happy to make accommodations for anyone who wishes to come calling.

[Then, he hold up an envelope, and does his best to look congenial] Edward, I received the note you left. If it's tea you wish, I'll have Sebastian make the arrangements.

We have come to the understand there is a good deal of time passed but merely telling Us your family served a queen does Us little good, Earl Phantomhive. [Her voice is... gentle though. She has always been kinder to children.]

[Ciel doesn't quite appreciate the tone as she may have hoped. But, he will indulge her.] currently seated on the throne is Her Majesty Queen Victoria, and has been since she was crowned in 1837. Prior to that, I'm afraid whom exactly they served is somewhat irrelevant to me.

That is quite some time from Our own. We are from the year of Our Lord, 1589. How fascinating [And troubling.]

[1589... That's 300 past! And now the pieces are beginning to fall together. He may not know extensive history, but he does realize where he recognizes this woman from; a portrait.]

Forgive my boldness... [He's hesitant. But, eh speech, her looks, that distinctly colored hair...and if this place could house historicalfigures such as Mozart, then maybe...] But would you be Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth of England?

Indeed We are.

[Bloody Hell. Forgive him as he loses a bit of composure, and is a bit fumble-y. True, she may not be his Queen, but she's still a Queen of England. He's basically obligated to bow and scrape. So, he does manage to give as much of a bow as one can on this thing, via video. ]

It's an honor to make your acquaintance, Your Majesty.

Is it? So many seem to not even know who We are. [She isn't bothered by that, honestly, she's just so unused to being unknown.]

That is probably because they're not English. Some of these people, I suspect, are from places yet undiscovered.

Yes, We met a blue-skinned vampire just recently. [Only Bess would say that as if it was an every day sort of situation.]
