Enjolras Arrives

[Enjolras is shown on the screen examining the device for some time before he satisfies both his curiosity and his understanding that he is indeed on the network. Finally, he lifts his head and speaks. His voice is troubled in tone, but clear.]
My friends. Greetings. It’s been explained to me that we will are confined in this place, brought here with no consideration of our will and left here without the ability to leave. I do not choose to accept this, and I trust others feel the same. If you do, contact me and join me. We will gather as much additional information as we can, and see if we can’t take this upon ourselves to gain our freedom. Who is with me?
[He’s fierce as he speaks. His eyes and set of his jaw show his determination. He shuts off the device, again taking his time with it, and waits for a reply.]

People do go back, yes. Unfortunately, there's no way to know who, or when.

[Her eyes lowered so he wouldn't see the hints of sadness behind them. Much as she loved being in Keelai...five years' time meant five years worth of goodbyes--or, worse, people disappearing on her before they had a chance to say goodbye.]

I'm not going to pretend I understand everything about how magic works, so I might even have some of this wrong, but...I think the person who originally started the spell that brings us here and sends us home is the same person who died a long time ago. But the spell is still working, somehow. And there's no way to control it now.

I see... yes that's what they said at the welcome center. It's just a lot to process. So how does the magic usually manifest? What forms does it take?

[So not the person to be asking...she she merely shrugged.]

That depends on the magic.

If you go back to the Welcome Center, actually, the woman who runs it? Zatanna? She's not only been here longer than I have, but she knows more about magic than anyone, as far as I know. I've seen her cast all sorts of spells, from changing clothes to moving things around to flying.

[Not counting the time when magic went awry and chaos reigned for about a week. It probably wouldn't have been fair to Zatanna to make such a first impression indirectly.]

I don't know how comfortable I am with that. Mostly, I want to know what to expect.

How comfortable you are with what she can do? Or talking to her?

Not either, I suppose. But, if it's what learning requires I will do it. And I find her at the college? Is that correct? I'm not accustomed to women holding such positions.

[She shook her head and immediately chose to let that 'not accustomed to women...' line slide. He would be in for a rude awakening soon enough.]

No, the Welcome Center.

If you're really uncomfortable, then tell her. I can't promise how she'll react, but I know she should be able to understand that not everybody likes magic as much as she does.

I'm not uncomfortable. It's just strange to me. I was welcomed, but I confess I understood very little and was too much in shock to ask many questions.

You're not the first person to be in shock when they arrive here. It's alright. And you have plenty of time to ask questions now.

Yes. I'm grateful to you and to everyone for helping me.

He's actually progressive by Victorian standards. He's still a Victorian, though.
