Hello! I see your question has been answered, and a few other things brought up as well! Welcome to DramaDramaDuck. Erm . . . I've . . . not really gotten a definitive answer on /why/ this place is called that, but it seems to be a crossroads between different worlds and times, including different Earths at different times. It's 2008 for me. I live on - in? - no, guess it'd be "on" (sorry, English isn't my first language) . . . erm, /an/ Earth. I currently live in Georgia, though I'm from Japan. My name is Mutou Yugi. Pleased to meet you!
