[ Elizabeth is clearly excited by the video feed as it turns on, leaning forward toward the screen. ]

This device is so clever! It's like a voxphone and a kinetoscope put together. Miss Zatanna at the Welcome Center helped get me a bit more familiar with it, but do let me know if I've gotten anything wrong.

Now, this might not be Paris, but it still looks like it will be quite the adventure. In any case, I'm here now, and I intend to make the most of it... my name is Elizabeth.

But I do have a question... is there any way to be positively sure that time has actually stopped, where we're from? I was traveling with someone and, while he certainly wouldn't admit it, I believe he'd be quite upset to find I've disappeared.

[ She offers a smile, which then tinges into something of a grimace. ]

Or more to the point, I believe he'd act quite rashly... since he doesn't always think before he acts, though he means well. Mostly-- I think.

I've been told there are job openings in the city. I don't have any formal training in... well, anything... but I'm very good at picking new things up very quickly if given the chance!

[He had spent the better portion of the day wandering around the city. Ducking and diving between crowds of people, and doing his best to stay out of the spotlight - which was far harder than he'd like to admit being a 'foreigner' decked out in futuristic space armor.

Needless to say, after having spent a good few hours gathering intel and having a constant stream of people talking to him about what to expect while he was stuck here (among other things), being able to sit down was a small blessing in and of itself. Something that those watching the camera's feed might be able to pick up on, as the ODST carefully leaned back in his chair, and stared up at the cafe's ceiling with a lengthy sigh.]

"Can't say I'm pleased to be here, but it's an upgrade from magical books." [Then again, giant turtles aren't really swinging in the opposite direction. Something he knows, but he'll hold his tongue on that.]

"Would say I'm impressed by how you guys have this whole welcoming stuff down to a science, but I'm still trying to comprehend most of it. Even then, there's usually a lot more going on than what's on the complimentary pamphlet."

[It's then that his visor lowers towards the screen, and a tick of silence passes by, before he's shifting forwards to properly address those behind it.]

"So, straight to the point; is there anything around here that I should be wary of? Threats, dangers, etcetera."
