[Good evening, fine residents of Heropa/Nonah/De Chima/Maurtia Falls! Tonight, you have among you a brand hew imPort. The display on the communicator reads Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, and the man himself looks friendly enough, if a bit uncertain. But who wouldn't be upon finding themselves suddenly dragged into a brand new world, right?

He's currently in his military-provided housing, residence #014, chilling out on a couch in the living room as he addresses the network for the first time.]

So I guess this is the part where I introduce myself and stuff, huh? Yo. I'm Kotetsu.

[What a stunning introduction, A++]

Everyone here's from all sorts of different places, right? Us "imPorts", I mean. So I was wondering if you guys'd tell me something cool about where you're from!

[It sounds flippant, as if he's not at all concerned about his situation, but to those with a keener eye, there's a certain tension to his frame, the set of his jaw. There's a great many things he wants to ask about this place and its people and the military that's brought them, but he wants to get a feel for this place and the people drawn into it with him first. He needs a couple days to process all this, to deal with the fact that he was literally just about to retire before this happened, before he's ready to confront any of it head-on.]

As for something cool about where I'm from...uhhh. Oh! I know, the city I'm from's built in a pretty neat way, with three levels each on top of the last one.

[ooc: I'm gonna quietly backdate this post to the evening of the 13th so he has a little bit of buffer between arriving and the Swear-In, thanks!!]

[ Nelson peers curiously at the screen, still intrigued and unsure of what to make of all the new faces turning up. There's a comfort in company but also a guilt at knowing no one is here because they want to be.

He's wearing his costume, not yet having bothered to change out of it from his explorations around town earlier. ]

Three levels...? It's stacked on itself? [ His expression communicates he's having trouble picturing it. ] I'm from New York City, I'm not sure there's much to tell that everyone doesn't already know. Though I'd only wished they had cared about heroism there as they seem to here.

Something cool...[Ellie makes a thoughtful noise as she thinks about it.] Medicine has come far enough that you can replace just about anything for a pretty affordable price. [Including eyes, which is why she has one blue eye and one green.] Your city sounds very impressive. Was there a reason for the design?

A multi-tiered city, huh? Defensive or just making room for more people? [Give him a minute, man. He's trying to think of something cool about home. Unfortunately, thinking about home has a lot of other bad things associated with it.

After a while, though, he figures it out.] ShockPoint Drives are cool. I love working on them. [And Ellie's voice is in his head calling him a nerd. Whatever.] And I'm Isaac Clarke.

[He's outside somewhere not-at-home, giving the screen a flat stare.]

What the hell are you doin' in my house?

[P.S. there's beer in the fridge. Enjoy at your peril.]

Uh, I read once that over 800 languages are spoken in New York City. Most linguistic diversity per capita in the world, at least in that universe.

[Spider-Man is used to friends returning to-- well, not returning any more, not now that they're in a different universe-- showing up on the Network again without realizing they're on repeats. Heck, he was in that very same position the first time he arrived (can remember arriving) in a Porter Lab. Doesn't mean it doesn't still twinge.]

I don't think that's the most important thing you need to know, though.

[custom encryption]

Hey, Tiger. I'd say long time no see, but it's only been a few weeks for me.

Something cool? From our homeworlds?

I don't know if I can outdo a tri-level city, but...

Well, there's an island of dinosaurs where I'm from.

[Kotetsu has to do a doubletake when he first gets this response because wow, you sure do look like a certain someone. Do excuse him if he stares a moment.]

[okay, okay, he's good.]

Yeah! It's got these support pillars to hold it up. On the bottom's Bronze Stage, then the next level's Silver Stage, and on top's Gold Stage.

[There's a slight pause. He's heard of New York, of course, but this guy hasn't heard of Sternbild, which he supposes lends some more credibility to the whole 'different universes' thing, much as it's still weird to think about.]

C'mon, there must be something you think's unique about your NYC, right?

[A beat, and more somberly:]

They not big on people with powers there, huh?

[...There's quite a bit of silence for the first while after Ellie's comment, because that brings Kotetsu's mind back to places it would rather avoid, and he's thinking about Tomoe again, wondering if the medicine where this person's from could have helped her. It's not like it matters--it's been seven years--but sometimes it's hard not to let oneself go down the path of what-ifs.

Eventually, however, he realizes he's been quiet too long and hastily responds:]

U-um, yeah. There was a flood a long time ago, 'cause Sternbild's surrounded by two rivers, so it's made that way to keep it off of the water.

[Awk...ward pause.]

Sss...oo...do they just. Make. New parts? Or...

The city's surrounded by a couple'a rivers, and there was a flood a long time back, so it's built that way to keep it above the water.

Nice to meetcha, Isaac. What's a ShockPoint Drive?

[??????]

Your--

...This is the place that military lady dropped me off at??

[If they messed that up he is so gonna raise every kind of hell he is so unimpressed with these people right now. :| :| :|]

[There's a low whistle at that.]

Eight hundred? Holy--

[But then that second part comes through and Kotetsu goes dead silent, staring. 'Hey, Tiger.' Hey Tiger.

He swallows hard, mouth suddenly feeling dry as he asks--]

Who are you?

[He figured, but you know—it's important to give people a hard time for no reason.]

The big couch is mine. Don't touch the beer.

...Seriously?

I'm not really the kind of person who jokes about that kind of thing.

Uhm...okay?

[Good to know tbh. Luckily for Logan, Kotetsu has been entirely too on-edge for alcohol tonight, so his beer is safe.

Still, this is kinda awkward, and Kotetsu rubs at his neck a moment before asking:]

Sssso, uh. We're--housemates, huh?

[Way to state the obvious, Kotetsu.]

Aren't they all s'posed to be, uh--

...what's that word, for when they've all died out? Ex--extant?

[Kotetsu that is the complete opposite of what you're trying to convey.]

[ A pause. Oh my god. ]

Extinct?

[ He asked, his tone mild, but there is so much judgement. ]

They are, but the Savage Land is a little different. Think the Lost World.

'Less you break the rules.

[He's gonna move right on from that because SURPRISE there are no rules.

Except don't touch the beer. That's a real rule.]

You do anything besides ask stupid questions?

[Fingersnap!]

Extinct, right!!

...Soooo, they're secretly not extinct, then? 'Cause they can't be extinct and not extinct at the same time.

Why on Earth would they build it like that? It seems so... well, it is unusual, but maybe there's a good reason.

[ Ever optimistic! Surely if there wasn't it just... wouldn't work, right? No matter how hard it is to picture. Nelson shakes his head. ]

New York is unique enough on its own! At least where I'm from. We, er-- most of our heroes don't really have powers. But the country didn't take very kindly to people wearing masks. I can understand the logic, I suppose, but I think heroes should be encouraged, not-- well, try to stamp them down.

Well, they're extinct for the most part. Think of the Savage Land as an undiscovered pocket that surprisingly survived the incident that killed off the rest of the dinosaurs.

Far as I know, there was a flood a long time ago, 'cause we've got two rivers surrounding the city, so they put it on the levels to keep it off of the water.

[It seems logical enough to him, anyway. Hey, he's no architect, what would he know.]

[...Oh. Huh. That's...interesting. Kotetsu pauses, scritching at his cheek.]

It gets kinda tricky when people're taking the law into their own hands though, y'know? 'Specially when people have different ideas 'bout what 'justice' is s'posed to be.

[Like Lunatic, and his Very Incorrect ideas about killing murderers. :T]

We've got heroes where I'm from, but you gotta get certified by the Justice Bureau first.

[And get a company willing to hire you...and a sponsor...]

Isn't that more like the other thing, then? What is it...'in danger', or something like that?

[Endangered, Kotetsu. #youtried.jpg]
