[The blackberry is propped up on the vanity at the opposite end of the room. The feed shows most of the room, with a large, four poster bed in the centre. For a while, nothing happens, until the sound of bed covers can be heard. Eventually, one of the curtains on the right hand side is pulled aside and reaveals a young woman, in her mid twenties, with long copper hair trailing down her back. As soon as she stands up, however, she looks confused. She's fully dressed in a royal blue damask gown with gold slashes up the sleeves. Not only this, but she then realises she's not in her own room. She runs to the window, and looks distressed, obviously not recognising the view]

Kat! Kat, what in God's name is going on? Kat!

[When no one answers her, out of instinct she heads towards the back of the room where there would usually be a door, leading to her ladie's rooms. When the door isn't there, she seemingly starts to panic]

What is this...?? GUARDS! GUARDS!

They won't come

[She visibly jumps at the sound of a second voice. Facing the blackberry but not realising she's being filmed, a look of utter terror bridges her face. The vanity shakes a little, knocking the blackberry on it's side, as a large, striped, feline body appears from underneath the bureau]

Please, don't be alarmed, your Highness; all shall be explained...

You! You're a...g-get out! GET OUT! GUARDS!

[The tiger takes another step towards her]

Please, stop screaming; you're making yourself look very foolish. Listen to me, you're no longer in London. You're the only one here from the palace. My name is Embry, and I'll explain everything to you, if you calm down...

[His voice is smooth and calming, and despite the fact she's faced with a talking Tiger, Elizabeth composes herself as best she can udner the circumstances. Her voice shaking ever so slightly, she takes a deep breath]

Then you'd better start...

[Yes, he'd been expecting that. But an order's an order.]

I am actually speaking to you through a special device, your highness. Give me a moment and I will attend to you in person.

[And truly, only a moment goes by before he's knocking on her door.]

[ She calls him in, unsure of what to expect. When she's met with what appears to be just a well dressed manservant, she eases up a little.]

Who are you exactly?

[And a well-dressed manservant he is! As soon as he enters, he drops to one knee in a deep bow reserved for his master and any royalty.]

You may call me Sebastian Michaelis, your majesty.

[Pleased by his introduction, she gives a small smile]

It's a pleasure..I am Queen Elizabeth

I still don't understand how I'm away from London, nor how this..'cat' is talking to me. This must be a horribly vivid dream of sorts..

[She puts a hand to her head, and heads towards the window. After a pause, she walks back towards the door]

I'm going to take to the grounds for a while; to clear my head.

[To Sebastian] You may go..

[As she exits, Embry looks up at the Butler]

It may take some time for her to adjust...I would get used to seeing this room, Sebastian..

[His tone is almost sympathetic. He then heads out to follow Elizabeth, leaving the door open]

[He stands again.] As you wish, your highness...

[He smirks a bit, behind her back, as she barges out of the room to deal with the place by herself. He'll return to his duties, closing the door quietly behind him, and vanishing before Elizabeth has a chance to see where he's gone.]
