[Alec's expression is a mixture of confusion, resignation, and an attempt at politeness. It's not exactly a pleasant expression but it lightens when he smiles nervously. It's obvious that he's not comfortable with being on video or talking to a random group of strangers.]

Hello. My name's Alec Lightwood. I just arrived here and I'm trying to find out if any of my family and friends here. They'd have the last name of Lightwood, Herondale... [By the Angel, what name would Jace use?] Wayland. [There's others Jace could use but if his parabatai heard those, he'd know Alec's looking for him.] Fairchild. Also, if anyone's seen anyone who has marks like these. [Alec holds up his hand to show the black rune on the back.}

I'm also looking for someone named Magnus. If you know anything about these beings, could you contact me? Thank you.

[Noooone of that sounds familiar to her or looks familiar, though the name Magnus is ringing a bell and she's immediately frowning.]

Magnus... Human, tall, burly, with really weird mutton chops? Ugh, one second, let me try and do a sketch.

[Takes about ten minutes or so but she's attaching something similar to this with the other two on the sides scratched out after she'd drawn it.]

That?

Human, tall, but not burly. [For a moment, Alec tries to imagine Magnus with mutton chops and can't no matter how fashionable they might have been in the past.

Shaking his head, he tries not to look too disappointed.] Thank you for checking to see if he's the Magnus I'm looking for.

[At least she got half of it right, that's better than normal. Either way she's shrugging after it's confirmed it's not him.]

For the better, I suppose, I doubt any of our robot friends here want their arms forcibly ripped off anyway.

Re: [Video]

[angelic_archer]

Robot friends? [That sounds like something Simon would ramble about when he's talking about that movie he never stops talking about.] Why would that Magnus rip their arms off?

[Video]

[wonderland_vogue]

Yeah, there's robots in Nova City or something like that, sentient or some such. I don't know much about it, not my thing. [Though that question is getting a small snort out of her, goodness me.]

Evidently it's just his thing. He tried to rip the arms off my poor mannequins, too, which did nothing to him. [Biggest lie, but detaaaails.]

[Video]

[angelic_archer]

The robots are alive? [Nova City really sounds like one of those things Simon told him about that Alec didn't understand.] I'm not from a place that has sentient robots.

Uh... if you're Magnus shows up, I'll make sure that he doesn't see the training dummies that I usually use.

Hi Alec. The fastest way to check if they're here is to check in the directory on your phone. Are you near the place where you woke up?

[Video]

[angelic_archer]

Hello. I'm still nearby, but I'm still not sure what's going on or where I should go now.

I did check the directory but the runes might be the easiest way to find my kin.

For starters, you'll want to go to the Genessia commons. Everyone who arrives in this place gets a small place to live for a month for free and some money to cover food and clothes when they're starting out.

[There's a lot to take in, so she's going to encourage that he get the most basic things taken care of first.]

Are the runes magic? That's pretty cool.

[angelic_archer]

I think the introduction thing mentioned that. [He wasn't exactly sure what it had been. It wasn't any type of technology that he was used to.] It was kind of overwhelming when I watched it.

Thanks. They're specific to my kin and our duties. [That wasn't giving out too much information... he hopes.] They're dangerous to most people.

I can fly over there to meet you and give you a short tour if you'd like. I can't promise to have all the answers to any questions you might have, but I've been here long enough to know my way around.

[Video]

[angelic_archer]

You can fly? [He hasn't met many beings that could do that without some kind of assistance. Maybe that's what she meant instead the wings he'd automatically imagined.] I'd appreciate a tour.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

It's a martial arts technique on my world that involves harnessing chi and focusing it in a specific way to fly. It's fun and useful.

[Not to mention she can more or less ignore traffic all the time unless she has to carry something too big and awkward for flight to be practical.]

I'll be there soon. I'm Bulla, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Alec.

[fondofapples]

[ They'd only met a few times in New Dodge, but once had been at a significant moment, when she'd been trying to help Shura. She's wondered a dozen times or more how her friend was doing. Maybe now she'd find out. ]

Hello, Alec. It's good to see you again.

[angelic_archer]

[Alec studies her for a few seconds, trying to remember if he's ever seen her before. Not a Shadowhunter. Not one of Magnus' friends or anyone he's met at the various meetings he'd been part of recently.]

Hello. I'm sorry but I don't remember meeting you before, but the last few days have been a blur of new faces.

[fondofapples]

[ To say she's crestfallen is a bit of an exaggeration, but her smile does falter significantly when he doesn't recognize her. It means he won't know what happened to Shura. But deportment lessons kicked in and her smile strengthened. ]

Regina Mills. We met in another world like this one.

[angelic_archer]

In another world? [The idea of alternate realities doesn't surprise him since he went to a different world a few days ago, but he does wonder what that place might be like.] It wasn't... my last trip to another reality was a trip to hell.
