[ A tired looking young man with big blue eyes comes on the screen. ]

Uh. Hello? To anyone who might be listening to this, my name is Malcolm Bright. I have no idea how I got here, but apparently that's not unusual. After speaking with Jerry and a few of the other travelers... I still have questions. [ Malcolm will always have questions about everything. ] Has anybody been doing this for a long time?

[ He pauses to lift his cup and take a drink of his coffee. ] Oh and thanks to... [ He squints at the cup and then reads off of it. ] Stark..bucks, for at least making a halfway decent cup of coffee. If anyone knows where to find a hard drink, I'd appreciate that information too. Thanks.


[ ooc: Malcolm had a TDM thread here, so he's already explored the environment a bit. ]

Hi Malcolm, I'm Alex. Can't really help you with a hard drink since I don't drink, myself. But welcome anyway. I'm also fairly new.

[prodigalmess]

Why don't you Thanks. Nice to meet you.
Is this the first reality that you've been to?

[onbutterflywings]

You too.
Yeah, it is. Did anyone tell you about the two suns yet? You're pale like me

[prodigalmess]

I've seen them. That's... different.

Still new myself, but my roommate and I found the bar in town. It's... pretty rough. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can take care of yourself.

[prodigalmess]

[ He frowns slightly. ]

I can, but... I'd rather not have to just to get a drink.

Though the longer we're here the more desperate I might become.

[covert_ops]

You can always go with someone who can take care of you for you.

[prodigalmess]

[ One eyebrow flicks up. ]

I could probably handle it. I usually prefer to drink alone though anyway.

Define 'long time'.

[The person on screen is wearing a strange outfit: green bodysuit; purple cape with clasps that look like a pair of all-seeing eyes; thick patterned gloves; and a round fishbowl-like helmet that completely obscures the face. Still, his masculine voice is clear.]

[prodigalmess]

[ Malcolm squints at what looks like a very strange superhero costume. ]

Let's say more than two months.

[makeanentrance]

Then I just about qualify. It's been almost two months since I first found myself transported here.

Well, not here exactly, but the last world. The snowy one before it thawed.

[prodigalmess]

Do you remember if there were any similarities between this place and the last one?

[Maybe you weren't expecting some kind of kabuki elf on the other side of this question, but sometimes that's just how your day goes, isn't it?]

I just got here myself.

I am also curious...about where to get a drink.

[prodigalmess]

[ Malcolm's surprised, that's for sure. ]

So far, the only response I've gotten is a rough bar.

[justamedicineseller]

I am not afraid...of rough places.

[A wry little smile.]

Still...it would be nice to have...bottles at home, instead. Maybe we can find a merchant?

[prodigalmess]

Maybe. The quality might be questionable though if it's bootleg.

[ Malcolm hasn't quite reached that level of desperation yet. ]

I've been here almost a year. I might be able to help a bit.

[prodigalmess]

Thanks. How many different places have you been so far?

[hibana_incursa]

There was Beachville. Vacation resort town. Really nice. Always sunny in a way that isn't trying to fry you whole.

Then there was Wechester City. Kind of like New York City. The people were a little irritable, but that's really not a big deal.

After that, there was Driftcrest. That was a snowy mountain village that had a problem with monsters. Once those monsters were gone, the snow melted and people were far happier.

Now we're here in Haven.

Starkbucks was coined by a man named Tony Stark as far as I can tell. So, that would explain the play on the words.

Are you settling in alright?

[prodigalmess]

Ah. Well, it tastes better than motor oil at least.

As well as I can, I guess. The locals here are not apt to trust outsiders at all.

[menarebrave]

I'm not certain I want to ask how you know that.

I doubt they even trust their own neighbor. Just a hunch.

[alphabeticalplans]

No offense or anything, Malcolm, but you look like you could use one.

[It's a jest, and it's spoken light-heartedly.]

I know where you can get a drink, and I can show you if you're up for it. Night's a better time, it's cooler. I'm Biggs.

[prodigalmess]

[ He huffs a laugh. ] Yeah, well, it's been a rough week.

[ Being framed for murder. His sister committing a murder. Waking up on a train that brought him here. All that stuff. ]

People seem to calm down at night at least. I've heard that there's a bar that's been described as "pretty rough".

[alphabeticalplans]

It can be rough, but if you keep cool, the locals usually leave you alone.

Where are you? I'll show you the way.
