Cyburn looked at the man, people to manage? Poor fool didn't know anything about where he was, probably. Well, more than probably. He smiled and revealed stinking yellow teeth, a result of no toothbrush, "My name is Cyburn, and my hair..." He trailed off, his hand moving to fix it, "Is a pompadour, it's the only hairstyle that fits with sideburns." He stepped forward, holding an arm out so as to show for a handshake.
"If you are from the South, as you say, then we are enemies," he continued to hold his hand out, "But here, we might be enemies with a common cause. We are trapped here, as far as I can tell. I have been trying to get home for about a month now, and unfortunately there is no known way back." He dropped his hand when it became obvious that the man was not going to shake his hand, "Well, I told you one thing already, this is basically hell. Especially when you have a reason to want to go home."
After seeing his confusion when he mentioned that they were enemies, he let out a sigh, "I can see you are confused, so it appears that we are not from the same 'verse." He then proceeded to explain that in his 'verse, the North and the South had gone to war over several issues, the big reasons were that the southern states decided to not follow Congress' laws, and as such were acting more like individual countries rather than states that formed one big country. Another issue was that they were withholding various livestock from the rest of the country, causing starvation. The worst thing that they had withheld from the North was triceratops meat.
He left out the war with the Canadians, this stranger did not need to know about that. He summed it all up and then added something with an air of couldn't care less that there was also an issue of slavery, that every man was created equal, and all that jazz. He slumped back, and he declared that it would be a lot easier if they could just import mammoth meat from Swedenavia, but that was apparently not likely due to the way that the Swedenavians acted with the rest of the world. That last bit was obvious from the tone that it was meant for himself, as he tended to speak to himself a lot.
He looked at the stranger, "Anyways, you know my name, and my hair. So, might I ask what your name is?"

Yllä harmaan korven korpit laulaa,
Hurme tämän kansan roudan sulattaa,
Katso kuinka hohkaa kansi taivaan,
Kutsuu se meitä tumman virran taa,
Heikot vaipuu kuohuun sysimustaan,
Sankarit kun astuu joen rantaan,
Halki iäisyyden laulu raikaa,
Kutsuu se veljiä tumman virran taa
