[ 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. ]

[prodigalmess]

Yeah. I didn't get too far before I heard a lot of rustling in the woods. The locals seem to avoid the place.

[onbutterflywings]

Seems a lot safer in the city limits.

[prodigalmess]

Not by much, but yes. This place seems very post-apocalyptic to me.

[onbutterflywings]

Definitely looks like it, yeah.

[prodigalmess]

Is this the first place that you've been here?

[onbutterflywings]

It is, yeah. Hell of an introduction isn't it?

[prodigalmess]

Yeah. I thought a local was going to knock my head off earlier because I smiled politely at him.

[onbutterflywings]

Better be careful of that.

[prodigalmess]

Learned my lesson.

Where are you from?

[onbutterflywings]

Russia, originally. But kind of all over lately.

[prodigalmess]

Ah. Your English is really good, though it may be because we're typing and not speaking.

[onbutterflywings]

I've lived in the US since I was 13.

[prodigalmess]

Oh. That explains it then.

[ It's hard to profile someone over texting, but Malcolm's trying to anyway. ]

Do you know if there's been much investigation done into how we all got here and how to get home?

[onbutterflywings]

I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about that since I'm so new too. But there will probably be someone around you can ask.

[prodigalmess]

I've spoken to a few people. Bruce Wayne was particularly helpful.

[onbutterflywings]

That's good. I talked to Miles. He was helpful too.

[prodigalmess]

I don't think I've met Miles yet.

[onbutterflywings]

He seems like a good kid.

[prodigalmess]

There are kids here? That seems very unfair to them.

[onbutterflywings]

Yeah, it bothers me too.

[prodigalmess]

We have to figure out how we all got here and how to get home.

[onbutterflywings]

I feel like that will take a while.

[prodigalmess]

It could, based on how long people have been going through this. I have to try though.

[onbutterflywings]

We should definitely all keep trying.

[prodigalmess]

I don't see how we could not. The alternative is potentially getting stuck here forever.
