[ Kalinda has a soft, calm voice that never gets louder than just a few notches above a whisper.Here's the thing. And it's not even a new thing. It's a pretty fundamental thing. When you're interested in a girl, you ask her out. You don't pull her into an alternate dimension and keep her there. Coffee, first. Interdimensional travel, second.

Not much to tell that you don't already know.

[digupthedirt]

This situation's weird enough that I'm going to be pretty flexible when it comes to information I'd be interested.

[bigreveal]

Guy named Reed Richards made these machines. He's dead.

[digupthedirt]

I've never heard of a Reed Richards before. Have you?

[carrytheshield]

Hi Kalinda, I'm James.

[voice]

[digupthedirt]

Hi James. Just got here too?

[voice]

[carrytheshield]

Just today.

It's so weird.

[voice]

[digupthedirt]

Is the place you're from anything like this?

[shawnspenstar]

Sexual assault, what??

[digupthedirt]

Woman comes to, disoriented, somewhere she doesn't recognize, surrounded by strangers. There are less likely conclusions to jump to based on those circumstances.

[shawnspenstar]

Maybe you had been to a really awesome party? Did you check to see if there was a lamp shade on your head?

[digupthedirt]

There isn't a party awesome enough for it to end with me wearing a lamp shade for a hat. I hold my alcohol better than that.

Hi Kalinda. I'd say "it's nice to see you", but that seems a little useless considering the situation.

I see you already filled yourself in on the basics, so if it's alright with you, I'll cut to the chase. I'm Matt, I come from a universe much like this one where Reed Richards is alive and well, and I used to be a lawyer. What about you?

voice;

[digupthedirt]

Matt the Lawyer, huh? I'm someone who keeps lawyers out of trouble. Or gets them into trouble, depending on your perspective and whether I'm working for you or the other guy.

voice;

[as_justice]

Well, not-quite-lawyer, if you want to be specific. Once I re-write the bar and ascertain my credentials, then I'll be Matt the lawyer. Until then... I'm just Matt the blind guy.

And I'm hoping that we'll be able to work together, rather than against each other. God only knows what kind of issues we're about to get into, considering that we're part of a wave of interdimensional illegal immigrants.

[Hello, Miss Kalinda.]

[There isn't a lot of information we can provide you with--]

[--but we will try to help with whatever we can.]

[digupthedirt]

Lots of helpful types around here. A name or two would be a good start.
