[traumatizing]

[fun fact: Terrance Ward is massively uncomfortable with any kind of video chat type thing]

[another fun fact: he's having real issues trying to determine what exactly he believes about where he is and why. so for now he's going with 'this is probably Norman Osborn's fault somehow']

[SIGH] So if this was some kind of elaborate ruse to make me learn my place, I'd probably know it was happening right? It's not like Osborn's exactly great at subtlety.

[he pulls a face at the camera and leans back in his seat] I don't even know who I'm talking to here. It's kind of hard to gauge what to say when I don't know who's listening. Do I introduce myself?

[ :\ ]

I'm Trauma. It's- [...] There's a good chance it won't be terrible to meet you.

Probably.

I'm pretty sure Osborn has nothing to do with this, but if he does I'll punch him in the dick for you.

[Not that Steph even goes here. Where "here" is the Marvel U. But she's heard Brandon talking about Osborn and has decided that he definitely deserves to get punched in the dick.

And with that done: introductions!] Hi, Trauma. I'm Steph.

[if he knew how smiling worked he totally would. he's less scowly than a minute ago though]

Thanks. Nice to, uh. Meet you.

Nice to meet you, too. [Steph will demonstrate how smiling works]

How are you settling in to the whole giant turtle thing?

It's a lot to take in, but I've gotten kind of used to Shocking Big News recently.

You're one of those superhero types? Or is it just a rough week?

[Well she's already kind of figured out the answer to that based on what he's said to everyone else, but it can't hurt to ask]

[traumatizing]

Little of one and a lot of the other?

If that's in order, I'm sorry about the rough week. [she means that, despite only having just met him] Things are pretty quiet here at the moment, so you might get a chance to recuperate.

That'd be nice. It's been a while since I had a quiet few days.

I kinda know how that feels. [it's been a rough month on the turtle] There's some really nice gardens in the Wood Sector, if you're into that sort of quiet time.

[NATURE AND STUFF....]

[traumatizing]

I'm not really a nature kind of person, but I think I'll check it out. Could be nice for a change of pace. Plus I should probably get a handle on what's around if I'm stuck here anyway.

Thanks.

And here was I thinking you were gonna be the next Bear Grylls. [No offence Terry but she kind of figured you weren't the nature type]

The cities fairly big, for, you know, a city on the back of a turtle, but you can get around easily enough. And there are maps, which are handy.
