Introductory Temporal Transportology
[A man is stuck in the streets of London. He has an amazing I-don't-care-about-my-hair-because-that's-how-cool-I-am hairstyle, $300 dollar Italian jeans, and I dare you to ask the thread count on that shirt, the first few buttons of which have been carelessly left unbuttoned. That's right. The hipsters have arrived. Also, he is holding a blackberry.]
[Clothing aside, he is not acting all that hip. He speaks with very broad hand gestures and a moderately manic expression.]
What the hell is this? When did we go Sherlock Holmes? Abed, are you doing a 'themed episode' [he doesn't need physical air quotes: he can do it with his voice] again? Because if you are, I need to know how the hell you pulled this off so it never happens again! [He stares at his Blackberry in incredulity, and here comes the last straw.] And why isn't my phone getting any signal?
[A choked scream of frustration, and he kicks a nearby crate.] This doesn't make any sense!
[Someone stop him before he finds an axe.]

Yes, because of course your smart phone not working is the -
[Wait.]
...Jeff? [and okay, it's been so long since she's seen a familiar face, so she will now glomp attack him, because that is her right.]
no subject
[....Wait, Britta is hugging him. In a place that looks like Victorian London. He will actually hug her back, vaguely.] Britta, I know this is a long shot considering who I'm speaking to, but please tell me you know what's going on.
no subject
It's not Abed. [pause] At least I don't think. But there are monsters, like alien monster things with tentacles. And there are a lot of religions that make Pierce's look sane and mainstream.
Oh, and your cell phone won't work. Although I have seen a lot of Japanese people walking around with cell phones. [sadly] Pierce would've said something inappropriate there. [because she even misses Pierce's bigotry]
no subject
...Did you say alien monster things with tentacles?
no subject
Yeah, you'll want to stay away from the docks. That's where they usually gather.

[still clinging, but pulling back to make a face at him, because friends can still troll each other, even through trauma]
Don't worry, I'll protect you from all the monster-wonsters.

And oh dear he's going to hurt himself like that.]
...Excuse me, but...as far as I know this isn't an episode of anything. I could ask but I think that's ruled out.

No, being upset in this sort of situation is perfectly normal. My name is Ushiromiya Lion. Ah, just Lion is fine. Explaining this...
[Well, he was using meta sounding things...] ...I suppose you could say we're somehow trapped in a parallel universe. Which does sound insane, I admit. But that's the simplest way of putting it.

I don't think you're being serious but I'll answer to the best of my abilities. We are on Earth, yes, in the year 1882 and this is London as you correctly inferred. Ah, the difference is that horrible creatures run this world. [Thinking.] If you had to brand it something, it would be horror rather than science fiction. But it isn't a TV program.

Ah, maybe the battery is dying? Mine gets signal just fine.

[Enter one skinny Japanese kid raising a hand placatingly at you, Mr. Frustrated Guy. Well, he can sympathize with the not having phone access problem. That's pretty distressing!]

[Whatever you say. Welp, on to the important things. Less important than lack of internet, but... Still important.]
You just got here, right?
