[Soooooo.

Bruce isn't exactly sure where he is, but its pretty clear he isn't in Kansas New York anymore. Or even America, for that matter. Possibly Earth too, considering his attempts to get information.]

Um.

[Should he be using this thing? Its kind of... yeah. Suspicious. Its not everyday you fall asleep to wake up somewhere else with a strange device on you. (Well okay, the first part is something that’s happened while the second... actually, nevermind that.)

At least the place is... interesting. For a lack of a better word.]

If there’s anybody out there watching this - I would appreciate it if I could have an explanation about--all of this. [Gesturing to his surroundings in question for emphasis, which is a nice shot of one of the districts for a few moments before its broken by the aborable sounds of a Meow Wow as it starts to jump up and down, taking the screen each time.]

[...yeah so after a bit Bruce angles the device back at him, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.] I did try asking, but I don’t think a couple of ‘kupos’ and a cat-thing following after me is exactly the answer I’m looking for.

[Attempts to put on a smile here. Just... help him out here, please? He would appreciate it, really.]

[Recognizes Bruce's clothing style from earth, and the confusion in his eyes. He probably didn't even know that Magic existed before he woke up! She Appears of the screen with her best smile.]

Hello! I'm Fate, I just arrived here too. I know its all a lot to take in, but everything seems mostly safe, and I have a little experience with this sort of thing.

Perhaps we should meet up? Compare new friends?

[Fate lets her excitable komory bat flutter into view.]

[amygdalae]

[Oh a nice girl... and helpful too, even though she just said she arrived too.

Well that's something at least.]

It's a lot, but I'm managing. [A hopeful smile. He doesn't want to be a burden to anybody, and he can manage himself. At least there's that much.] And, ah--I don't want to trouble you. You must be pretty busy yourself too.

[blitz_of_gold]

[Fate smiles, happy that the man wasn't in too much danger. She shakes her head.]

I didn't come alone- I have my device to help me. And I'm an Enforcer- my job is to be able to not only take care of myself in uncertain situations, but others as well.

Your from Earth, right? I grew up with magic, so this is a lot less of a shock.

[amygdalae]

[A slow nod as he listens to her explanation. He had no idea what an Enforcer is besides what she says, but he'll take her word for it. There's nothing that suggests she's dangerous, anyway.]

Yes, I am from Earth. [Pause.] Although the Earth I'm from doesn't really have something like magic.

[Well, kind of. Its hard to explain.]

[blitz_of_gold]

[Fate holds back a chuckle.]

The Earth I'm familiar with has a very low rate of mages, so I wouldn't rule it out. I have friends who live in Japan. I believe that that it was local year... 2010? around there?

[amygdalae]

Ah--it was 2012 for me. I was in New York.

[Wry smile. Well, he was kind of in New York, anyway. Its awkward.]

[blitz_of_gold]

[Grins and lets her auto-translation turn off and speaks in terrible, terrible English.]

Howdy, partner! Lets be workin' togethura, capiche? Aloha!

[amygdalae]

[Whoa okay he didn't see that coming, that's for sure.

Have a startled blink for a few moments before Bruce slowly regains himself.]

...for what it's worth, that was a decent attempt?

[blitz_of_gold]

[Stupid! of course you only sounded like an idiot! Fate averted her eyes, ashamed.]

I'm sorry, Nanoha tried to teach me some English without the translator once and I thought...

I'm not very good at this- I didn't even get your name did I?

[amygdalae]

[Oh Fate, its alright. At least you tried.

Attempts to put on a smile to be encouraging!]

It's a good attempt, like I said. You just need some more practice.

[But yes, that aside...]

Sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Bruce Banner.

[blitz_of_gold]

[Fate works a grin onto her face and bow's slightly.]

Thank you, Mr. Banner. I still think we should try and meet. At the very least, we can try and get used to this together.

[amygdalae]

I certainly don't mind that. It is a good idea.

[blitz_of_gold]

I believe that I will try and organize something in the First District. I will leave a message on the comm when I figure it out.

[amygdalae]

I'll keep an eye out for it then. Thanks for doing this.
