. . . Oh, this. This. Is. Gorgeous.
No, really, I mean it. I've seen a lot of things -- more things that you'd think I ever would, given my youthful and altogether handsome appearance, -- but this place. Brilliant! So flash! So shiny! Well, they're stars, how could they not be shiny? Although, strictly speaking, stars are more luminous than shiny. But you can't use luminous in an interjection. Too many syllables. Can't be spouting off exclamations of surprise if it takes more than a second. Wouldn't really be surprised, then -- it'd sound too premeditated to be genuine.
So! The shop's the gateway, yeah? Never seen it before today, and I'd figured I'd gotten used to this version of London by now. Still, always did like a little shop, but it feels a bit wrong that it'd be used for sinister purposes like this -- after all, I can't really see this as being positive, the whole kidnapping and displacing thing. I guess you really can't ever trust a salesman. Or a saleswoman. Or a salestwin, as the case might be.
But right, anyway! Sinister little shop leading to a mysterious planetarium taken to an extreme scale? I might be new to this universe, still, but I'm reasonably sure this wouldn't be considered normal.
Now, who wants to offer an explanation before I call for back-up? And you might want to be quick about it -- I like calling for back-up.

What is it?

...hmm. How do I say this. I have never, you see, traveled one. But all cats know of them, or discover them. It is--I think you would call it this--a 'right of passage' in some ways.

Well, this human doesn't know about them, but you still can't rule out the possibility that someone else might.

So, if I had known of them -- how would you have reacted?
