[He wanted time to familiarize himself with this place. He needed to know if anyone else from the Inquisition had been brought across as well, and then to find them if they had. But first, he'd looked through the information they'd given him - the neat print on the strange white paper - and now, suddenly, Maxwell had a much more immediate, personal worry.

The video opens on his face; his expression a mixture of incredulity and concern.]

Hello. [It feels awkward, addressing nothing, but he pushes on.] My name is Maxwell and I have a question, and there doesn't seem to be anyone else to ask.

[The camera turns and fixes on a portion of the pages he'd been given. He points to a section, chases a sentence with his fingertip as he reads it aloud.] 'Bears will always find him.' [Then the feed swings back to him.]

Why would anyone want this? How many bears do you even have in this place, to hope to make this useful? And do they just-- roam about?[He glances away, as if one might have suddenly sneaked up on him, then back.] Are these abilities negotiable in any way?

I assume so? [Though he sounded slightly less confident about it than he had before.] There seems to be some debate.

That's just so... weirdly specific. [ Not that she can say much. She has super strength that's only super when she punches someone. ]

Did you have bear issues back home?

[He snorts a wry sort of laugh.]

That would be putting it mildly.

This is just the first time I've ever heard anyone describe it as an ability, as it were desirable.

This place has a weird sense of humor from what others have told me. If there is the chance for an unfortunate or uncomfortable association, this world seems to latch onto it as either an ability or a job.

Ironic fate. Wonderful.

[A wry sigh.]

...I suppose at least I'll never be bored.

Sorry this took so long, RL is involving a best friend's wedding. Which is stressful .

Boredom seems to be the least of everyone's worries here.

I'm Makoto by the way. It's nice to meet you.

absolutely no worries :) .

Maxwell. I'd say a pleasure, but, circumstances. [A small, but handsome smirk and a little shrug.]

So how long have you been here?
