[loverbayou]

[The NV clatters to the ground, revealing the silhouette of a kneeling figure in the middle of the baseball diamond. He raises a hand to his head, momentarily dazed, before peering up slightly through his hair. Red irises may be faintly visible through the darkness.]

Hoo... Wish I'd gotten de number off dat bus.

[The surroundings are, of course

Ah...you didn't have a greeter come and speak to you, yet?

[Video]

[loverbayou]

[...And now there are strange women in the cell phone.]

Greeter? I s'pose dat's what dis careful homme approachin' me now is, neh? Looks like he t'inks I might strike first an' ask questions later.

[gamuzadeclares]

Some people get hostile when they find themselves here. The greeters are usually the first person someone meets, so that would be why he's being cautious.

He'll be able to explain in further detail, but you've been pulled from your world into this place, Siren's Port. You'll have a starter apartment for free for one month, as newcomers are pulled here on a regular basis.

Would you rather I say "try again later"?

We were dumped here same as you, so we've been right where you are before.

[loverbayou]

[loverbayou]

[Even if he doesn't recognize half the name, he recognizes the voice. The response he gets isn't nearly as friendly.]

Yeah. I'd say I remember you, homme.

Re: Encrypted

[makes_asteroids]

[He can't say he wasn't excepting that.]

There's a response I was waiting for.

We're on the same side here. Something Jubilee and Xavier will confirm as soon as they see this. Jubilee will probably be coming to get you to stay with us.

I'll believe it when I see it. An' by dat I mean I'll wait here even if it's a bit too chilly for dis Cajun's taste.

[loverbayou]

Lots of helpful people out dere, I see.

I still got t'process what I'm bein' told by everyone else. Don't want t'go askin' the same questions again an' again.

[killswithapen]

I shouldn't worry about that; this isn't the first time answering these questions for any of us.

Voice

[loverbayou]

I imagine not, if dis be happenin' often. An' you wouldn't answer if you didn't want t'help out, non?
