[There's a teenage boy glaring at a piece of paper in his hand, yelling indignantly at it.]

Time travel again?! Geez, at this rate, it's almost every other month! This is really getting on my nerves.

[At some point during his rant, he starts darting about the area, trying to familiarize himself with the place. Except he decides to ignore the

[Mikuru's interest is piqued mid-rant, though she can't catch up with his speeding and gives up in front of the map.]

Excuse me, did you say time travel?

[teenspeed]

[Oh, someone he can ask for help! His bad mood vanishes.] Yeah, what about it?

[bunnypassingby]

Do you time travel at home, too? [Alas, Mikuru will probably not be much help; she just likes meeting another time traveler.]

[teenspeed]

You bet! I've lost count of how many times I've been thrown into some other time.

So...where am I this time?

[bunnypassingby]

[She's guessing from the 'been thrown into' that this guy is not a time traveler of his own accord like she is, but merely subject to its whims. Oh well, that's not going to stop her from trying to help him.]

[teenspeed]

Like timezones?

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru shakes her head: Oh dear, she's not getting this across very well at all, time to hit the English books again.] No, I mean things like culture and technology differences.

[teenspeed]

[It's not her fault! Bart is just..special.] Technology differences? They better have video games here.

[bunnypassingby]

I'm not sure... [Mikuru looks genuinely disappointed she doesn't have the answer for him.] Sorry, I'm not really into them.

[teenspeed]

Hey, it's okay! I'll find out myself. [What why does she look so sad? Is it something he said?]

[bunnypassingby]

[Mikuru nods.] Good luck!

[--manners!] Oh! I'm Mikuru Asahina.

[teenspeed]

Hi! I'm B--I mean, Impulse. [Grife, he just can't keep his secret identity a secret, can he?]
