[Maybe he's being overly cautious, but Tim isn't entirely sure if he's still in the Unternet and thus the city is just some trick, and so he chooses to make his first entry on the cities network text only. His decision is further bolstered by the uniform stowed away - the uniform further complicating the location decision. If he wasn't in the Unternet, then logically he shouldn't have that uniform. Still, Tim knows at least how find if he has any allies in this unknown city - virtual world or not.]

Well. That was a pretty rude awakening. I'm not used to waking in the tub surrounded by strangers. I mean, sure the tour of the city was different and the welcome pamphlet is a nice touch. But I'm not a huge fan of waking up in some fantasy movie and being told I'm going to fight some big bad evil. I'm not really the hero type.

Heck, I haven't even had my morning coffee.

Oh! Name's Todd Richards. Don't suppose anyone here has heard of Star City? Or knows where to get that coffee? [That should pique the interest of anyone familiar with his dimension. And the name should alert any close allies...]

[Layla's interested.]

Heard of Star City, never been. I tend to stick to New York and the tri-state area. Welcome to the Turtle, hope you enjoyed the Cylon awakening experience.

There are a couple of decent places around to get coffee, Todd. D'you want loaded with sugar, or greasy spoon?

[Someone familiar with the city suggests someone from the same world as him. Or, it could simply be someone who knows of the world. From what he's been told about this city and from what he's parsed from the network, he can't be sure. If any of it is real, of course.]

I'd tell you that you should drop by sometime or something, but it's just home, nothing special. Unless we're being attacked by some villain or another. One of my brothers worked in New York for a while, though, so that's pretty cool. [A shred of truth in what he's saying.]

Thanks. I'm not sure I'm getting my head around the Turtle thing. And the wake-up ceremony was... well.

Oh. Actually, I need somewhere that serves it strong and black. When I said coffee, I meant the stuff that's pretty much highly caffeinated tar.

That sounds like the New York I know. I'm sure I'll feel right at home if I ever find a way there.

Yeah. You've come at an interesting time.

So the best kind of coffee. There are a few restaurants and cafes you can go to. but the best option is do it yourself

[inhisherosimage]

Yeah, New York has the same problems sometimes too. But, you know, sometimes everywhere else is more exciting than home?

Really? So far it's just seeming like some kind of forced vacation.

Aw man. If that doesn't make a guy miss home, then I don't know what will.

[laylaknowsstuff]

Sometimes.

So the welcome wagon didn't fill you in on the war we're fighting?

The girl I live with has a fancy espresso machine.

[inhisherosimage]

Sure they did. It just doesn't feel like I'm supposed to be vanquishing the evil whatever.

I'm going to be eternally jealous over here in my espresso machine-less suite.

[laylaknowsstuff]

It comes and goes.

I'm sure you can find one
