i've seen several of these messages so i thought i should introduce myself also.

hi! i'm allison. i've arrived recently, been sworn in, haven't had a chance to even talk to my own roommates yet.

i've been assigned to be a paralegal assistant and also a student, but if you need the services of an archer and capable fighter, then let me know.

[ Leaving out the hunter bit for now. It's an extra precaution and she's feeling especially sensitive about the whole thing, given recent events. ]

or, if someone could fill me in on what exactly's going on, that would be great. or, if you're also new and you want to bond over that, i'm cool with it.

Step one: read this! I'll answer any further questions! It's kind of ... lengthy. A labor of love, you could say.

Step two: I wouldn't offer fighting services up here all willy nilly, but I can't say that I'm not curious about your archery talents.

[It's a professional interest, after all!]

[industria]

thanks! i'll get back to you in a moment.

[ She does want to be a hero, that's the thing, and she won't take away her offer. Still, she has to pause when she gets to the Russia part. ]

well, it was also an offer to help anyone train, if they wanted.

so, i'm from a world where the cold war ended in '91.

Sorry to interrupt. Mind if I use that too?

I'm sure we can bond over being new and confused and all. I'm from 500 years into the future and ain't even from earth, so I'm still having trouble thinking about that.

[industria]

really? that's so cool. where were you born?

[selfimage]

[ well isn't this just ironic? somewhere around holidays he remembers having a conversation about this. the thought crosses his mind that she's different, but Loki will leave that up to Lydia to decide. all their walks through the graveyard and the conversations that he knows Lydia's been avoiding.

well. ]

It seems as though you've been hooked up. (A round of applause for Kate Bishop.)

Don't worry, the novelty runs out quickly. ;)

[industria]

yeah, big help. shouldn't surprise me that someone's pulled together all the information the big wigs don't tell you right away.

the novelty of living here? i hope so. i'm close to getting whiplash, even now.

why the hell is everyone introducing themselves to strangers on the internet

"here's a psa about who i am & how i work. do with that info what you will, freaks and geeks" seems pretty unsafe to me

[industria]

because there might be people from where i'm from who might be looking for me.

i'll be fine if anyone actually comes after me.

[newsfeed]

[ Ok, but why archery. ]

Can't say as I'll be much help with the dimension hopping, but if you decide to stick with the job you've been assigned, I may be able to assist you with any questions that come up.

[industria]

[ Because archery is great and, in her day at least, it's cool for both boys and girls. ]

i admit that i have zero experience with working in a law office!

[immuno]

If this is your idea of a joke, you should revisit the definition.

[industria]

joke? this isn't a joke! it's me, i swear.

[ A-Archer and capable fighter. Interesting. ]

Yo. I'm Felicity and I'm also new. Like two days ago new. Welcome to the Not Quite Floridian State? Unless you're somewhere else, then that's totally my bad I've just seen a lot of people end up in the default of uh. Florida.

[industria]

i'm not in florida! but i know that i have access to it, so it's no problem. i'm in NC.

nice to meet another newbie. were you at registration?

[shuckit]

kate's faq will help. i put this together too. not as user friendly, but it's notes on stuff around here i've kept.

did you find stiles and the others?

[industria]

thank you so much. i'll read this in depth when i'm not, you know, talking to everyone. what's with all the mythology references?

i haven't found them yet, but i'm sure they'll pop up soon.

[microbrobotics]

archery? where'd you come from, the middle ages?

[industria]

hey, don't judge! it's become way more popular in my modern day.

[aggressiveapathy]

finally
the law needs a little stabbing

[industria]

i can also use chinese ring daggers, if need be.

video.

[altercate]

[ this is derek's way of getting to the point, more or less. ]

An archer and a capable fighter?

[industria]

[ She raises her eyebrows. ]

Derek?

audio

[oneregret]

Capable only with archery? [Or more? He's heard that the people here are heroes, but he'd like to see some actual signs of it.]

[industria]

Capable with a hell of a lot more than that, but it's my favored weapon, yeah.

[And here he thought he'd just been seeing things at that...festival. Whatever the hubbub following the swearing-in had been. He'd seen just a flash of her before she disappeared into the crowd, and when he'd rubbed his eyes she was gone.

He takes a minute to really understand the name, and then another to listen in and read responses. She's so calm. Just days ago, she- Just a kid- What the hell is this place?]

Allison, hey. It's Sheriff Stilinski. [He turned that little tremor into a throat clearing, so hopefully that passed. He might not have known her well, but what he remembers most vividly right now is a girl breaking down in an elevator, scared and trying desperately to keep herself together for the sake of her family and friends.]

[industria]

[ The reaction to all of this has been a lot for Allison to deal with, though by the time Sheriff messages her, she's still in the dark about her own fate. ]

Hi, Sheriff. [ It's still cheery, like any old phone call, as if they weren't all trapped in whatever the heck this all is. God, she's relieved to hear his voice, more relieved than she thought she would be. ]

They got to you too?

[caffeinisms]

Sounds to me like you've got a fair bit on your plate already.

[industria]

i like to keep busy! though from what i gather, there won't be a dull moment while i'm here.

[notdaredevil]

Paralegal assistant, you say?

[industria]

yep! you read that correctly.

[inmyothertights]

Hey, Allison.

What's going on here is: we're stuck. I guess you probably got the whole spiel.

[industria]

uhuh. no multiverse hopping, apparently. which i hadn't realized was possible until i got here.

[onhold]

hello! i'm new, too. how've you been settling in?

[industria]

hey! i'm not bad. i'm happy to be in touch with my friends right now. what about you?

text

[huntergames]

did you say archer

[industria]

yep. you read that right.

text

[powerkicks]

Are the archery and capable fighter thing related?

[industria]

basically, yeah. lots of rigorous training.
