[Kaldur takes in the location as calmly as he can after having the strange location explained to him. He knows that this is a city on the back of a turtle—which sounds vaguely like something out of one of the books on surface-dweller mythology he had read once—but why he had been chosen and how cut off his final memories were before arriving here was still a mystery.]

It is said that to better understand your surroundings you must look at it with many eyes. [He is formal, but genial. He does not wish to start a confrontation on his first day.] I am known as Aqualad. It is a very…unique situation in which I find myself. Where we are and how we may have come to be here has been explained to me, but I would greatly appreciate any further information that those who come before me are willing to provide. The frequency of arrivals, whether others have managed to leave before, and general disposition of the native inhabitants would be very helpful. Those I have met so far have been...amicable, I can say.

[If none respond, he will have to seek a less direct route of coming by the information. He bows his head slightly, but visibly.] Thank you for your time.

It was just me for ages, then Arthur and Mera washed up last week. I guess you know them?

[Eavesdropping on other people's conversations, nbd.]

[That is very rude, but Kaldur also realizes that he has been speaking over an open network, and thus leaving them open to scrutiny. It is good they are remedying this.]

Arthur? By that do you mean a tall blond man? [It is not often that Orin spends enough time on land to use the name Arthur Curry, but Kaldur hasn't forgotten it. Why would he go by that name here?] Yes I do know Queen Mera, she is ruler of Atlantis beside her husband.

[That's what the "private" function is for, Kaldur! Though if you want to avoid Batman you gotta talk in person.]

That's the guy. He's cool.

[Nita stamp of approval.]

[That makes him smile a little.]

King Orin is well loved by our people. And I do not believe I heard your name, miss.

[Nita laughs, because that's almost exactly how Arthur asked her name.]

Namorita Prentiss. You can call me Nita, though. Nice to meet you.

Nita, then. I am Kaldur'ahm, but my friends call me Kaldur. It is good to meet you as well, even if it is under such strange circumstances. Have you been here long?

Kaldur.

[He's being so Atlantean. Nita's not planning on confessing to being royalty anytime soon because she really doesn't want that level of formality, even if it's actually pretty charming on Kaldur.]

Oh, jeez, gotta be...close to seven months now?

That is quite some time. [Longer than Kaldur expected as he truly did not want himself, his teammates, or his King and Queen, to be here that long.] Has anything significant happened since you arrived?

[She ticks events off on her fingers.]

There were the riots, then we went to the mainland, and then the zombies. That's about it.

[That's nothing by the standards Nita's used to.]

Zombies? [He has heard the word before--it is hard to miss movie references when you are friends with Roy, Wally, and Dick--but he had never heard someone speaking of them as fact rather than fiction.]

Animate corpses, hunger for the flesh of the living? It's a surface thing.

[They just have ghosts and vampires in her Atlantis.]

A thing of surface fiction, I had been told. For them to exist here must be some great power is behind it.

[He has arrived at such a strange time, it seems.]
