[Anne is up on the roof, looking down on the Gardens and surrounding area. Her mind is elsewhere though, deep in thought and wondering why God has chosen to spare her like this. There is so much she doesn't understand, although she has given the journal her full attention since she arrived and was given the explanation. She is more than a little overwhelmed by the information she has read, however she is quite well versed now. It pays to be prepared, and not to display shock as she did on her arrival.

She opens the journal and smiles.]

If I am to remain here, then an introduction would be appropriate, one can never have enough allies and friends. I am Anne Boleyn, former Queen of England, and it is a pleasure, I'm sure.

[Oh, hello historical figure]

...Okay, you officially win the suckiest 'what will happen to me when I go back home' award.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

Forgive me, I take it 'suckiest' would mean unfortunate, yes? I think not Sir, I am happy to die to ensure my daughter's inheritance. I have referred to myself since being in the Tower, as Queen Lackhead. [a small laugh]

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Yes, well as I recall, the Tower wasn't a very pleasant place to stay. I have to admire your humor in the situation, though.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

I have been well treated by Lord Kingston and his good lady wife, I cannot complain, and my accommodations were better than most I suspect. When your fate is sealed, there is not much left other than humour, and I find it stops people fussing unnecessarily.

You have been? In the Tower? I trust you were not a prisoner?

[findwhoyoulove.livejournal.com]

Oh, my goodness! A Queen! It's an honor to meet you -- my name is Giselle. ♥

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

Thank you Giselle, I would hope it is an honour to meet you too. Have you been at the castle for long?

[findwhoyoulove.livejournal.com]

You are too kind! ♥ .... I have been here for a few months, now. I enjoy it very much here, however, so I don't mind!

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Ah.

Hello.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

Good day to you too. Are you well?

[not-theman-iwas.livejournal.com]

Yeee-e-eeees, I suppose you could say that. And yourself?

[perfectblue.livejournal.com]

I was beginning to think no one in this place had any sense of proper introductions.

Hello, Anne Boleyn, former Queen of England. I am Illyria, former God-King of Primordium.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

I am glad to have undone your pre-conceptions then, or perhaps your observations are more accurate than either of us would like to admit.

I am charmed I'm sure, not to mention curious as to what world should let a woman be both King and God.

[perfectblue.livejournal.com]

My observations ought to be accurate, since I have had little else to do in this place besides observe.

My world died just as the human world was being born.

[masterofloxley.livejournal.com]

Ah - welcome to Paradisa, your majesty. I'm Robin of Locksley, Earl of Huntington - or, formally at the moment, I suppose.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

Your welcome is most gracious Robin of Locksley, and an Earl no less. It seems I am in the company of a gentleman of some standing.

[masterofloxley.livejournal.com]

[a recorded chuckle]

I'm not sure titles matter much here. And my standing is a bit. . . non-existent back home, these days.

[It just so happens that Parker loves the roof. Well, she loves heights, anyway. If the Queen doesn't mind a thief in her presence...

Well, she's just there. She isn't really sure what to say, really, after that sort of embarrassing initial meeting. What to say, what to say...]

You're a lot prettier than I thought you'd be.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

[Anne would probably not mind at all, as it is, she doesn't know, so she turns to the blonde woman as she speaks and politely inclines her head in greeting]

Then it would seem Parker, that are we both fairer of face then either of us imagined.

[sneakingly.livejournal.com]

[A compliment! That's always a good start, isn't it?]

What are you doing up here?

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

The Anne Boleyn? Wow.

I'm, uh, Billy Kaplan.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

I see my reputation precedes me, I hope in a good way, Billy Kaplan.

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

[She may take the strangled noise however she likes.]

I'm from a bit farther in time than you are.

[notamaiden.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Paradisa Your Majesty. I hope that you are finding everything alright. I am Lady Marian, and if I can be of any assistance you have but to ask.

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

I am finding the castle and its inhabitants most welcoming, I might wish for a larger suite and my Ladies in Waiting, but I am comfortable.

Your offer is most kind Lady Marian. May I enquire as to where and when you hail from?

[notamaiden.livejournal.com]

People here are mostly friendly, luckily.

The year I left from was 1192 under the reign of King Richard, the Lionheart, though his younger brother Prince John is controlling things while he fights in the Holy War. My father was a Knight and then for many years the Sheriff of Nottingham. He now presides as Lord of the small village of Knighton.

I am to marry Robin of Locksley, Earl of Huntington, whom I believe you have spoken with previously.
