[Gellert is standing outside and there is darkness all around him, apart from the candle he is holding which illuminates his face.]


So it seems that I have missed my birthday.... At least according to the community in general. Peculiar how time is different all over.

Well, this may call for a belated display of colour then.


[He grins and points his wand toward the sky. Soon there are magical bursts of fireworks lighting it up.]

[ BAM! Two geared up agents are thrown out of a wall of what looks like a little staged set. The next person climbing out of that wall is a very-much-alive-and-awake Steve, who is a complete mode of panic. He hesitates only a second before forcing the nearest doors open running out of there. Something is very wrong and he knows it. ]

-all agents, code 13!

[ Out of that room everyone else immediately tries to go after him and grab him. He's just shoving anyone and everyone over to get out of there-- and then he's outside in modern New York, which would be familiar and normal to someone that's not him. He runs until he gets to Times Square where he stops, overwhelmed. And that's where the black cars catch up to him, bearing the SHIELD logo. ]

[Armed soldiers and black suited men pour out of the cars, forming a perimeter around Steve and keeping the growing crowd of onlookers at bay. Nick Fury steps out and slowly walks towards Steve, an almost inperceptible smile on his face.]

At ease, Captain. I have to say, it's nice to finally be able to speak to you in person. [He pauses, gesturing behind him] Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we thought it best to break it to you slowly.

[ Steve stops looking around to focus on him, relaxing just a tiny bit at the sight of him ] ...break what?

You've been asleep, Cap. ...For almost seventy years.

[ Steve's shoulders slump and he looks around, the implications of that statement sinking in on him. Mind racing. ]

You going to be okay?

Y-yeah... I just... I had a date.

Hey Ezio? Thanks to you, I decided to visit Florence with Aya. I can promise you that it's still beautiful.

[There's Kaitou, walking along the side of a road as he's admiring something that is very pretty and expensive looking before pocketing it. He seems to be reading something on an iPhone which he also did not pay for as he scrolls along it.]

Ducks? I didn't subscribe to this. Not like I could subscribe to anything at all mind you...

[Just then, a trio of policemen rounded the corner.]

There he is!

Bring back what you stole, thief!

[Kaitou chuckles and salutes before the world around him turns silver, like a curtain of reality pulled apart before vanishing into it, re-emerging maybe into your own world too.]

I wonder how he's doing right now. And if he's eaten any Sea Cucumber...

[This time, you don't see the inside of Cinderella's chic uptown apartment. The room that you see has a more low key and homey feel to it. Cindy sits in front of the camera, not looking very happy.]

Okay, not that I had a problem with people coming to my world before, but I think I should put this out there just in case. Due to the current situation going on in my world, world hopping here is off limits now. Especially if you have suppress anger issues and so on.

Things have pretty much gone from bad to worse, so for your own safety, just stay away for now. Who knows how long this is going to last.
