[In the plaza, near its southern edge, there is something strange. It is most noticeable now that snow is falling in earnest - a shape, smallish and curled up on itself. There is a boy in the snow. Asleep, dressed only in new feather pants, shivering. When he finally shivers himself awake, it's a groggy half-there voice that broadcasts. Seems the journal's open.] Just...a few m-more...minutes, Prof-ffessor...

By the- who's that? Are we very far from London?

The Malnosso. They run this place.

I dunno where London is, but this is a completely different world from it.

And I dunno where that is. Guess we're from different worlds.

Worlds? ...Do you think you're an alien, or something like that?

[Confirm that you're crazy please.]

I'm not an alien! I'm a human.

[No such luck here.]

Well so am I! So you can't be from another world.

You ever heard of Magnolia?

Of course I have! It's a kind of tree. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of tea with that name, too.

--a tree? It's a town! It's where I'm from.
