[Lion's been fidgeting with this...phone thing for a while now, and finally manages to broadcast his voice—he hasn't figured out the video feature yet because hey he's from the 80's okay and technology.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me? Will...?

What…exactly is this? I’m afraid I don’t quite understand it…I don’t recognize where I am, at all. This definitely isn’t an uncharted area of Rokkenjima, and I know there are several places that I‘m unaware of in the forest… But, no…

I’m certain this is a completely different place altogether, it's far too huge. The climate is so much different, and…this place is actually quite a bit more remarkable than my island.

Besides, I doubt an entire city could fit on my home island. The thought alone is bizarre.

[He puts a hand over his mouth in thought, looking pensive and a bit troubled.]

More importantly, I believe leaving the church should have been impossible. It was...well, I can't quite explain why. Not even I understand it... In any case, I must return there as soon as possible. Someone, anyone, please tell me where exactly I am so that I can make the necessary arrangements to get back to my family.

You're in Prospero, an American city and I am afraid that I know no method of returning home for you or anyone at the moment.

A-America....?!

[Well that's certainly a far cry from home. Lion is silent a moment to compose himself.]

That's--well... In any case, thank you for the response--?

[He pauses for a name.]

Astolfo. I am at your service.

Pleased to meet you, Astolfo.

You mentioned there's no way to return--is there no airport around here?

There is, but the location you came from can't be found.

I am afraid that you are placed in a Stage called Prospero.

Ah...

I'm afraid I don't understand. Why can't it be found? It's only across the ocean--Japan is where I should be.

Japan is there, but if you look for your home, or anyone you know, you'll find other people in their place. So it may as well not be home at all.

A stage? What do you mean by that?

I--what? That's absurd!

There are many ways to express what this place is. Another reality, a stage that someone set up for the new players to come in.

[ And this is why he would make a good Umineko character... ]

[He would be on Auau's level clearly.]

...How poetic of you.

I take it that means I'm not the only one to arrive here so suddenly, when I should clearly be somewhere else altogether, yes?

[ BEST THING EVER. ]

I am a playwright after all, good sir.

And you are correct, most of the people find in the same situation, others are brought here after the role in their world had ended.

...Their world? What does that mean? I don't really understand that...

In any case, my name is Ushiromiya Lion. What may I call you, mister playwright?

This stage is fond of placing pieces from different worlds, mine acquaintance.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Mister Lion. As for mine name, you are speaking with William Shakespeare.

So you are here too? I have been looking for anyone that can teach me how to use this...this...cordless phone...yes that's the name.

How do I call Diana? I want to know if she is safe...

It is, but also the truth.

[ Lion, meet Fox. As in, girl with fox ears, and the big orange-fluff-thing moving behind her? It's her tail. ]

An entire city fitting on an island isn't too bizarre! As long as the island is big enough.

You're right, this is an entirely different place.

[ a pause ] How much have you been told already?

...Did you say that you've come from Rokkenjima~?

How is that possible?

[Will...i...am Shakespeare? Lion smiles, as if it were a joke. It seems a bit odd to choose such a stage name--even a bit presumptuous, even. He couldn't be serious, right...?]

That seems appropriate.

Could you elaborate on the different worlds you spoke of?

[...You really think of your cat, first thing?.]

I'm sure Diana is fine. I can't say anything for the state of your furniture, however...

[There's a pause.]

In any case, I'm happy to say you're in luck. It's taken me a while--but I've figured out how to operate this strange communications device--this phone, as you call it.

What's the meaning of this?

I don't understand a thing you're saying.

[Oh, fox ears....]

But I'm afraid my island is much too small for that.

[Wait. Fox ears? Is that a tail!?]

That...that's certainly a realistic costume, miss! Wait--how is it that I can see you at all? What is this strange device?

Entirely different?

Not much, I'm afraid. I still don't quite understand this. I was told I can't return home--why is that?
