Firstly, I’d like to know how I got here.  Very -advanced technology, one too many criminal records, and no official law enforcement teams.

I could list off a few dozencriminals who’d be interested in framing me in a set up like this......

... but it wouldn’t add up. No, I’ve got a feeling there’s something much more complicated going on here. I

Keh, where's th'bastich who's got that cruddy welcome wagon file...

Not t'burst yer bubble or anythin', butcher not here 'cause yer special. S'random chance. And th'how would be that big ol' machine y'walked outta.

[burnbbburn]

[silence, then...]

You seem to know a lot more than I do.

Maybe you could answer those questions for me.

[littlestbastich]

Maybe. If I wanna. What were y'whinin' about again?

[burnbbburn]

I am not whining.

I'm asking you why I'm here.

[text. Japanese, translated]

[mindofsteel]

I haven't been doing anything vigilante-y. (-_-;)

[voice]

[burnbbburn]

Is that a fact?

Then maybe you'd care to share with me who has.

[text. Japanese, translated]

[mindofsteel]

I haven't been here that long.

[burnbbburn]

Well, I suppose you're off the hook.

What's your name?

[reactionary]

City doesn't have name.

[burnbbburn]

The last time I checked... every city had a name.

[reactionary]

Not this one.

[burnbbburn]

Then it's about time we give it one.

[leadtraveler]

Actually there is a police force...or the beginnings of one. I'm not really sure since I'm not part of it.

I guess no one filled you in at the 'porter when you arrived here?

[voice]

[burnbbburn]

No...

... nobody filled me in on anything.

[voice; forever]

[leadtraveler]

I thought someone was there since Iron Man wasn't.

Ah well, I suppose welcome to the City, as in that is it's name since no one was creative enough to give it an actual name.

You were brought here to be a hero but the 'porter kind of has a mind of it's own, or so I've been told, and bring in those that aren't very hero-ish from time to time. As far as anyone knows the only way back to your home is through the 'porter but well...no one really knows how it works or if it will even send someone back when they want to go back.

So you're kind of stuck here.

[burnbbburn]

Apparently not.

So if this "porter" is bringing in criminals, it looks like "Iron Man" isn't doing his job. If I were him, I'd disappear too.

Does anyone know where he went?

SECONDED

[burnbbburn]

You sound young.

Too young.

Not old enough to be an officer.

[burnbbburn]

If I got a penny every time someone said that, I would be rich.

But I suppose experience is better than nothing at all.

Do you have a name?
