So, hi!
[The setting: an ice cream parlor, somewhere in Heropa. The scene: Foggy Nelson, eating ice cream, because somebody offered him free ice cream with toppings and he's broke. He gives the camera a little wave and a friendly grin.]
I'm Foggy Nelson—yeah, I know, not my idea, but I'm not changing it now—and I have some questions. Don't worry, I got the "welcome to another world, you have superpowers" speech, I just have some concerns it didn't address.
[Lots and lots of them, actually, but he'll just start with the most pressing.]
First of all, I'm a lawyer back at home. Got a law firm and a partner and even a sign for our office. [A pause, during which he looks quickly away from the camera and lets out a quiet, tired sigh like he's already missing it, then:] Of course, you don't have any reason to believe me, and I don't have any proof to back me up here. Which leads me to my first question: do my qualifications still carry over into an alternate universe? Because, man, being an insurance claim investigator is the only thing that's probably worse than being a lawyer. [He's both, so he gets to be funny about this.]
Second, I might need a crash course on imPort law. I'm pretty sure immigration law doesn't quite cover "forcibly dragged to another universe" that well, and I only got maybe a sketch of the benefits of registration when I tried to ask. [This whole registration thing honestly comes off as a little sketchy to Foggy, but he's going to keep his trap shut on that much.]
Third—does anyone here know what I mean when I say the Avengers? How about the Incident? I—just need to know.

no subject
[There's a silence, during which Foggy just stares at the camera like he cannot believe what he's hearing. Then he sighs, and massages his temples.]
Is there any record of this? Like surveillance footage, or something like that. [He hasn't started digging into the network in earnest just yet, he doesn't know there's already a video up.]
no subject
[ It takes Ray a couple of moments to figure out how to link or embed said video, but he does so before too long. ]
Don't laugh.
no subject
[He's trying his hardest not to laugh. Sure, he's a little horrified, but also this is actually funny? In a way that dumb college students getting caught on camera pulling stupid stunts that end in injury is funny and horrifying. Not that Foggy would know.
A cough escapes him. Suspiciously, it sounds like a stifled laugh.]
That's something. [A huff.] In my personal opinion, you should've watched where you were going. But, in my opinion as a lawyer? You could sue for damages—personal injury at least, and emotional distress on top of it. That happened on your first day, right?
Also, wow, that is a terrible first day.
