[ Hey look, it's another teenager! A totally and completely normal teenager that has managed to scrounge up some clothes that aren't just whatever the hell he was wearing under his suit. Looks like a hoodie and some kind of shirt that looks like it might be nerdy? He tried for a nerdy aesthetic, anyway, which is hard when he doesn't even know what nerd culture looks like here. He's seated outside in Nova City somewhere, trying to figure out what to do next.

Anyway. He. Waves awkwardly? ]

Hey, um. I'd ask if people really just introduce themselves online like this without making it like "Welcome to My Star Wars Vlog And/Or Podcast" but I went back and looked at a bunch of posts and I guess that's exactly what it is? Which is cool. But weird? I'm weirded out.

[ Focus, Peter. Maybe breathe a little. He looks incredibly awkward, which is still only 50% of the Awkward Peter Parker Experience. ]

Anyway, I'm Peter Parker! I just got here like. A couple hours ago? And I have one really super important question.

[ Pause. Try not to look too excited. Look incredibly excited. ]

Did I see something about Pokémon? Like, actual physical Pokémon? Is that real or is this some super convincing AR thing? Because I'm down with both but if it's the first kind I am literally going to explode.

I'm not sure what Middle Earth is, but if it's another world, then yes, someone can show up from there as well as from your own world.

[made_up_names]

Okay. Okay, cool. I think I get it.

So, uh, what kind of world are you from? Is it a lot like this or totally different?

[enchantinglily]

If you go to Fayren here, my world is most likely that. Nature everywhere, small villages and few cities. We don't have things like all this....I think the word is technology. I've heard other refer to it as very old fantasy or medieval.

What's your world like?

[made_up_names]

That's so cool. Do you have magic and stuff? Dragons?

[ He hopes there's dragons. That would put this place over the top. Anyway. ]

Um, it's a lot like Genessia City I think? Pretty modern but not like spaceships and stuff. Usually.

[enchantinglily]

[She chuckles.]

Yes, we have magic, dragons, witches and wizards, unicorns and all sorts of magical creatures. I actually happen to know a dragon from my world if that's where your interest lays.

See, I find that fascinating, though one of the few things I always miss venturing out of Fayren is the nature. you could say I'm very attached to it.

[ That was a lot of good info but he's focused on-- ]

Oh hell yes I wanna meet a dragon. Please. That would be the best thing.

[enchantinglily]

I think I've seen a couple dragons around here, but the one I'm speaking of his back on my world so I'm afraid I can't introduce you. Even if I did, I'm not sure he'd tolerate it. He's not fond of humans.

[made_up_names]

Oh. How come? Were humans dicks to him?

[enchantinglily]

Considering they killed his mate and destroyed his eggs while he was away, I'd say they were cruel to him, yes. I'm fairly certain it gives him good reason to hate them.

[made_up_names]

[ Peter winces. ]

Yeah, uh. That's. That's a pretty good reason.

[enchantinglily]

Where I'm from, magical creatures either stay hidden or are hostile towards humans. They want to live in peace and harmony with them, but that doesn't always happen. Most humans tend to not like or go after beings or people that are different from them. But not all. There are always exceptions to that. Like the people here.

[made_up_names]

[ He nods a little at that. ]

Guess that makes sense. I mean, we don't have a ton of magic in my world? I've met a wizard and a god, but that was unusual.

[enchantinglily]

Perhaps if there's a wizard and a god in your world, then there is more magic then you realize. It's always possible.

[made_up_names]

Man, it wouldn't surprise me at this point. My hometown got invaded by aliens when I was eight.

[enchantinglily]

Aliens?
