[ Instead of the normal amount of fumbling around that one might expect from someone who has been handed a new piece of machinery or gadget to decipher, there's relative quiet and a calm, almost bored sounding voice comes over the air, speaking in English. ] Who has jurisdiction here?

[ England isn't the only one getting a sense of deja vu. ] It seems like someone ought to. Someone usually does, anyway.

[hullonurse]

The natives all seem to have fled one way or another... In any case, you should find some shelter before you get attacked or it starts to rain, my boy.

[fragrancy]

Fled or were killed, if the state of this place says anything. [ He's currently picking his way through some debris. Something about that tone calls him to attention: ] I'll go, don't worry.

[hullonurse]

[fragrancy]

[ His reaction is nigh automatic. ] I'm not dilly-dallying, you don't have to nag at me about that kinda stuff.

[hullonurse]

[hullonurse]

Good lad. Be sensible.

[fragrancy]

[ Okay, it's gotten to be too much, really. His deja vu meter is breaking. ] That sounds like someone I know.

Like a very proper and polite lady you know, I hope.

[hullonurse]

I am a very feminine and delicate lady, thank you very much.

[fragrancy]

[ ... ] Yeah, you remind me of him.

[hullonurse]

... Tell me your name so that I can scold you properly.

[fragrancy]

[ Good grief, the resemblance is uncanny. He almost sounds a bit like a scolded child when he says this, except the answer itself probably makes him sound pretty bratty and rebellious!!! ] ... Just call me Bruce Lee.
