Good evening, my name is Walter Strickler. I'm a new arrival here, and I thought it best that I introduce myself. More than that, actually, I was hoping to ask a question.

I am in the midst of familiarizing myself with the history of this world, and how it differs from my own... Most of the discrepancies have been fairly minute, others less so, but it lead me to wondering about other worlds. Your worlds, and the histories theirin; if you care to share them. I suppose I'm just curious, is it common for most of us... "imports" to be from worlds that are similar, or ones that are vastly different? Is there anything here that has struck you as odd?

[There's a small pause, an aside glance, as he arranges the wording of his next question carefully.]

And, are 'powers' common where you're from? Whether it be mutations, magic, or anything of the sort. Are these things familiar to you?

Please do forgive me if I take a moment to understand anything you have to share. I must admit, I am still attempting to process all of this... But I would not want to have anyone feeling put-out for my misgivings. Thank you. I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Of course, that makes sense for how you've described it. My power feels as though it's influenced by conceptual thought, rather than anything scientific. It's very interesting how different this can all be.

Mm. It seems that your ability may be more magic than science, in that case.

[He nods.]

I may not understand the finer details, but I appreciate your insights into all this. And do forgive me, but I think I've forgotten to ask your name?

Oh, of course!

[ She bows slightly in introduction. ]

My name is Momo Yaoyorozu.

[He bows his head as well.]

A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Yaoyorozu. Thank you again for humoring my curiosity.

The pleasure was mine, Strickler-san. I always appreciate the opportunity to talk about the mechanics behind peoples' quirks... or powers, as the case may be.
