[Video] Arrival

[mysteryhero]

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.

How is that possible? Every entrance has an exit.

[He's maintaining a general sense of calm but he's more concerned than he appears.]

And yes, I did just arrive and I listened to the welcome, as much as it made any sense. It doesn't change the fact that I must leave here as soon as possible.

[shivvymetimbers]

In normal circumstances, yes! However, this be abnormal circumstances at best.

[ Bastien is speaking from experience here. While this is his first rodeo here in Genessia, the pirate has experienced his fair share of abnormalities back in his world. After all, Ganymede is a strange world. ]

Listen, listen, I understand! You have important business to take care of and all that. I'm quite sympathetic since I'm in the same predicament but I unfortunately don't know how you'll get back home.

[ Especially since everyone stuck in this odd little nexus claims that no one can leave it. Bastien is willing to test that. ]

Calm down and take a breath, alright? We'll figure out somethin'.

[mysteryhero]

[He indeed takes a breath but it's an exasperated one.]

What do you know about this place then?

[More irritation is showing through.]

[shivvymetimbers]

Just as much as you to be frank.

[ Bastien admits with an sheepish chuckle. He can hear the frustration as clear as day. ]

Accordin' to folks around here, this world is protected by some odd magic. There's barriers all around the cities here, powerful barriers. It seems that whatever is keepin' us here is intent on us staying.

[ That's as much as he knows, honestly. Bastien been too busy getting drunk and stealing to know much else. However, he's tempted to clean up his act for now and work on getting out of Genessia by any means. ]

[mysteryhero]

[Beck glances upward and around to see if the barriers were visible. He purses his lips when he doesn't notice anything out of place - aside from the fact that he was here at all.]

Magical barriers... Barriers can be broken.

[It's not much to go on but it's a start.]

[shivvymetimbers]

I would assume so but only if you have the magic to break it.

[ Bastien gives a slight shrug. Magic is definitely not his forte. ]

My mother knew more magic about than I ever could but I know there's a spell for virtually everything. It's just a matter of figurin' out which spell does what.

[mysteryhero]

And how long have you been trying?

[shivvymetimbers]

To be frank? Not long.

[ There's no stopping the hearty chuckle that escapes him now. He may or may not still be a wee bit sloshed himself. Bastien had a busy day. ]

B-But I'm quite dedicated to the idea of gettin' myself out of here. I never been on dry land this long.

[ He pauses briefly as he ponders. ]

It's been about a...week? Yes, a week tops!

[mysteryhero]

[A week. Beck isn't sure if that was a good or a bad sign.]

So you're... what? A sailor?
