Sooo I am guessing that popping up in this place is the norm here, right? So are the freebies, which are really nice of these guys to offer. I'm guessing that this isn't earth though, so I can't exactly IM a location.

Not that I have my phone with me. [Oh boy. Hopefully dad won't freak... or the guys... or--- yeah okay, hopefully no one notices. On the plus side, not the Reach. On the down side, not Earth either.]

Anyway, little warning for the guys I'm sharing a place with. Hi, I'm Traci, if you find a strange girl coming into your home, don't be weirded out okay? I swear I come in peace. I have a peace offering too!

But wow, this place is a lot different from where I've been. I even saw a feathered cow on the way. [Wait, hold on, getting derailed.] I-- oookay, I had a reason to chat on this thing. So hi again, nice to meet you all. Any chance a lovely person out there would be willing to give me a second tour of the place? And maybe a history lesson, since I think I got the basics down, but I'm most likely missing a ton of things I need to know.

That's about it, I think. Thanks for any help I could get.

Hello Traci. I'm Kara. I can show you around, if you like. [ She has a lot of free time and a very trustworthy smile! ]

That was fast! If you're sure about it, I'd be glad to take you up on that offer. [Because really, it was either that or get lost and get in trouble. She was pretty sure she'd somehow manage both if she's not careful.

The colors remind her of someone, but considering primary colors were a normal thing, she's not surprised. It's too much of a coincidence anyway.]

So uh, how well do you know this place? Because I was just left here by a building and I won't exactly be able to just meet up at random location Z.

I've been here seven months now, and I've been to just about every inch of the turtle. [ She shrugs. She kinda likes it, actually. And it's not like she has anywhere else to go. ]

I can just come find you. It'll only take a second.

[ Oh hello, beautiful. Don't mind if the Wall-man shows up here for his introduction. ]

Hey there. Name's Wally, Wally West.

Oh, and one thing you might wanna watch out for is time shenanigans. Apparently, I was here a few months ago but can't remember a thing - according to my friends it's cause I was from my future last time.

[ video ]

[urbanmagic]

It's nice to meet you, Wally. [Stay smooth, Wall-man. Stay smooth.]

From the future? Not another dimension or reality? [It could happen! Though that's pretty iiinteresting.] That must have been really bizarre for you.

[zerotoawesome]

Whoa, wait! They gave you free stuff when you got here?

[urbanmagic]

I thought it was a staple. Rations, they said, though that's still more than most people would give to someone who pops in from nowhere.

... Oh hey, are you made of rock?

[bindsthedead]

Recent history, or every civil war that's been fought here over the last five centuries?

[urbanmagic]

Both would be equally welcomed. If I'll be stuck here, might as well learn about it right?

[Arthur is probably easily recognizable for just about anyone born on the DCU Earth. None of his identities (King Orin of Atlantis, Aquaman, Arthur Curry, Swimmer if you're a dolphin...) are secret and he doesn't make much of an effort to blend in. Or have a very diverse wardrobe. He's in the trademark orange scales, sitting easily at the console; as recognizable as he might be, though, he doesn't know who this is (which is nothing new, the only teenagers he's really acquainted with are his own).]

None of us really know everything we need to know about here, sadly. Not Earth, though, no. You get used to the strange creatures after a while, they're still fairly similar to their Earth counterparts.

[urbanmagic]

[Whoa. Wait. Familiar face of sorts, not that she is that familiar with the details, but she knows of him well enough.]

Aquaman?

Whoa, wait. You mean the residents right?

Why would strange girls be coming into your home and why would you think people wouldn't be weirded out?

Also if you try that in my house I'll put you through the nearest window, if I'm in a good mood. Just saying.

[ way to make a first impression, Stocking ]

[urbanmagic]

Oh, you misunderstand. I'm the strange girl and I totally get it if they freaked out. Hence the warning, so they don't. Because I really don't want to have to explain myself again when I actually get there.

Huh. Guess it'll be a problem if I was assigned to be your roomie.

[One more person to add to his personal tally of people he recognizes, knows or has worked with. Though he's never spoken with her personally, he makes it his business to know everything as much as humanly possible about the metahumans in his world, and magic users rank a little higher on his scale of one-to-immense-dislike than most.

Especially those that have had close proximity to Clark.

(It ends badly about seventy-nine-point-nine percent of the time, he feels his paranoia in this case is quite justifiable)

Still. She's no Zatanna. So he conjures a smile and a slight wave at the camera.]

I've been here about eight months now, I'd be happy to help with that tour business. The name's Wayne, Bruce Wayne.

[He's actually been here longer than that, but he staggered his appearances as Batman and as Bruce Wayne to allay suspicion.]

video;

[urbanmagic]

[... Well, if that wasn't a familiar name, she doesn't know what is.] Bruce Wayne of Gotham? [She doesn't know the ID, but she's been to Gotham. Everyone knows Wayne.] Wow, that was unexpected.

[demon_brat]

You just... wander into people's homes?

video;

[urbanmagic]

Nuh-ah. I was assigned to this place, offered to me as a shelter and all. Except for the fact that I'm not staying on my own and my hosts didn't exactly introduce me, so compromise!

video;

[crotcharrow]

I'm bad at history, but I'm all over tours. I can show you around this whole turtle in like, half hour, tops.

[someone might be flirting]

[urbanmagic]

Sounds extremely lovely [And doesn't sound like she'll see the whole place as well as she'd like] but I already got an offer for a tour. I wouldn't mind a second go if you're up for it. [Once she's actually gotten a proper idea of how the place looks overall aside from the Kedan tour.]

[Kon's face pops up on the screen and he hums.]

There's a lot of history to go over. Well, from when we arrived any way. Never did look into what had happened before we did.

And yeah, it's totally normal.

[Video]

[urbanmagic]

Superboy? [Wow. That's a face she hasn't seen in ages.

Well, okay, not that long, but she's pretty sure he dissed that look a while back.

... Right, Wally did mention time shenanigans. Maybe this is one of those things?] I could start with bullet points, and maybe expand from there. Either that, or if you can point me to a library that tells it all, I'd be up for it too.

[superoverachiever]

The first and most important thing you need about the history of this place is that anybody who knows anything useful is a tool. [Like, seventy percent serious over here.]

[Video]

[urbanmagic]

Well... [...] That's probably going to be a problem in the long run, isn't it?

How much of a tool are we talking about?

[donttouch]

What kinda tour are you after?

[urbanmagic]

Not much, really. Important places to note, directions from one point to another. General things to avoid. The usual stuff that most tourists would go figure out on their own when it's not part of the tour package.
