And a one, and a two...

And a three!
 
[ Johan throws his weight against the locked door, and finds that not only was it unlocked, but also ajar, and so what really happens is that he just kind of... crashes into the wall. Possibly knocks a few paintings off.

Let's not forget that headache. ]

Nnngh... aah it hurts, hurts, hurts.

[ That door was locked two minutes ago. He was sure of it. He had woken up in a dark room with a locked door and for the past hour had been trying to bust it down.

Well at least he's out now--for the price of his dignity. And this splitting headache.

He gets up rather shakily and leans on the wall for support. These surroundings aren't familiar at all. ]

Ah...? Where am I?

[ This doesn't look like his house. ]

[ Wait. Why does Kaiser sound surprised at his own name? ]

U-Unless you're not... Kaiser...?

[ But he's pretty sure! Doesn't Kaiser always wear that trench coat and have hair like that and have this general intimidating air about him?

Uh...

Wait. Are those-- ]

Aah! I'm so sorry, oh my God! I mistook you for someone else! You look a lot like him, you know. Kaiser, I mean. Haaa...

Wait, does Kaiser have a sister I didn't know about? You look so much like him! B-But I thought the only sibling Kaiser had was Shou... unless it was a secret? Oh gosh--

[ Someone stop him from jumping to conclusions. ]

[This is not going well. She sighs.]

I'm Kaiserin.

And you're not Johanna Andersen.

[Hopefully that clears something up.

It seems like her luck, though, that when her newfound rival and potential executioner walks into this place there's such a drastic change.]
