"Wot's all this then? I've been held 'ere against my will by a bloody water cooler? To 'ell wi' this! Wotcha want outta me!? Where IS here?!"
After a moment of silence, a chuckle breaks out, and a white-robed figure steps out from behind the back right wall. He has a large and obvious pair of wings on his back. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I just couldn't help passing up a good joke. You're not the first person to scream at this water cooler in confusion. Incidentally, would you like a drink?" The man picks up the kamina glasses, throws them off the water cooler, and fills up a small paper cup with water. "Sorry about the glasses, it's a bit of a joke."
Jeff doesn't think it's funny. In fact he thinks it's rather annoying. "That's not funny in the least, ya prat! Now, tell me why I'm here!"
"Oh, right. How rude of me. My name is Malkezadek, by the way. You may call me Mal if you wish. I know you of course, Jeff. You come from the Barony of... Lawn-done, correct?" Malkezadek has real trouble with the pronunciation of London for some reason. Plus, London's a city, not a barony.
"aye I'm from there, so what of it?"
"Good we indeed took you from the proper universe then. Just making sure, really. We need you, Jeff, to ask you a few favors."
Jeff thinks about it a long time. "Can I go gaffe to ma when I'm done?"
The man seems to not understand the accent for a moment, and then nods vigorously. "Oh, of course. As soon as you do something for us we can see about getting you home. Yes, I think that's fair."
"Where am I?" Jeff repeats, not wanting to let this opportunity for information pass.
"This? Why, this is the Nexus of All Worlds. The Anchor, people here call it." The man sips at his cup of water.
