[ At first it takes some getting used to. Clary's had a webcam before, obviously she'd needed one for her nightly meetings with Simon during the latest WoW raid. It's not like the concept is that strange in itself. But it's the fact that it's on her phone that's giving her a little bit of trouble. The first time she'd opened it all she'd been able to see was her face, too up close, worried and freckly. Part of her doesn't even want to inflict that on the general population. But she's had a look through the network by now and it seems to be the done thing. So she goes for it.
The first few seconds are awkward, her frown more pronounced as she checks if it's on, but then her smile clears that all up. ] So, uh, hey? I think I'm using this right. I hope you guys can see me. And also hear me. It would suck if you couldn't. Unless your superpower is lip-reading - which sounds like a bum deal actually. [ Focus, Fray. ] Anyway, I'm Clary. I'm new. I got here like a couple of hours ago and seriously, the welcome committee could be a little better. But I won't waste anyone's time and ask how I can just turn around and get back home. I'm guessing that won't happen.
I have a few different questions. Mostly about the superhero gig. Can we like change our superhero names? Because I was not expecting that question. I panicked. It's awkward. Do we need costumes? Do they have to be spandex? Is there a universal law about saving the world in a suit that shows - literally everything - off? [ Nobody wants to see her in a fitted suit, nobody. ]
Also, is there an art supply store around here? Apparently that's part of my gift from the gods or whatever, and I really want to test it out ... although I guess - do they use dollars here? What's the currency in the alternate US? Am I going to get arrested if I pull out my wallet? It would not be a good start to my heroism if I got put in the back of a cop car. Also I think my mom would be able to sense it across the universes, so.
[ A shrug and then a semi-awkward smile. ] Any help would be seriously appreciated. I kind of don't know anyone here.

[ Just to be clear. Grey does not actually have one, and couldn't imagine having ownership over something like that.
Her story is strange, though. Grey frowns at the text. ]

[ Although, whether he’s capable of sailing a ship by himself remains to be seen. He’ll certainly try. ]

no subject

no subject
[ He thinks about that for a moment, before glancing at the screen. She probably knows by now, given that she's been watching him type at her, but: ]
text dont call . this is how i talk .
no subject
i can do that.
[ Part of her wants to ask why. Maybe he has epic social anxiety, maybe he's like Ariel, maybe it would be rude to demand all the answers all at once. She'll get used to him first, then she'll wheedle it out of him. ]
catch you later, grey!
