action;

( A woman sits by the bay, fingers toying with her newly acquired box of goodies. She looks wet, like she might have been one of the less fortunate new arrivals to fall face first into the water. Upon approach however, the smell of the ocean is overwhelmingly strong, as if she'd recently been for a dunk in a saltier sea than this.

As is usual with most new arrivals, she seems confused by the odd situation she's been suddenly thrust into. She also looks sort of... dazed? Like she's hit her head too hard. It's not hard to spot, even under the large hat she wears, or the flood of dark, wavy curls upon her head; the trickles of blood along her cheeks and temple.

Eventually she moves, though not without a groan and quiet curse under her breath. Not really paying attention, chances of knocking into someone's shoulder on the way through is more than possible. A muttered apology comes, but unless directly engaged there isn't much more than that. )

[The person she bumps into is a man wearing what might appear to an elaborate cosplay of a superhero, complete with burgundy cape and a gold chestplate that lights up from within. He holds his hands out automatically to steady her.]

Hey, hey... Are you alright?

[He notices the blood.]

You're hurt.
mysteryhero: (Gesture)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-14 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
So you've just got here... I've only been here for a few days myself.

[And they've already been quite eventful - at least on a personal level.]

What does it say on your key? There should be an address. I can help you find it and then you can rest.

[He's actually not familiar enough with the place yet to know where any hospitals or doctors may be located but maybe she's not too badly hurt.]
mysteryhero: (Listening)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-14 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Commonspace. I believe that's not far from here.

Can you walk alright?
mysteryhero: (QB)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-14 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I think we should go side by side.

[The suggestion may also seem suspicious but he has an excuse for it.]

All the better to keep an eye on your condition.

[It sounds gracious, the way he says it.]

[She may be surprised at exactly what he could do but right now his only goal was to gallantly help her to her apartment. Like a good hero would.]

What's your name?

[Small talk. Introductions. Could keep her alert, if nothing else, as they move forward.]
mysteryhero: (Hero)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-14 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm called Mysterio.

[Implying that wasn't his actual name but he's been using it for most introductions so far. They both have their mysteries.]
mysteryhero: (Hero)

[He frowns a little at the laughter but then explains in answer to her question.]

The place we arrive in is called the Bay, which leads to the central city of Genessia. There are archways to other cities attached to this one and somehow the pendent you should also have been given will allow you that access.

[The information is fresh in his mind, having only recently been told that himself.]
mysteryhero: (Hero)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-15 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Probably the same way as you. I woke up in one of those capsules in the Bay. I had a small box with a key and the pendent and there was some explanation from a hologram but not enough to make a lot of sense as to the how and why we were brought here.

Supposedly, we're just meant to live our lives here until we are sent back to our home worlds.

I've been told time will stand still there until we return.
mysteryhero: (Gesture)

[He'd also been having a bad time.]

Before this place? I had been in the middle of a battle with an Elemental that was attacking London.

[Not strange at all.]
mysteryhero: (Head tilt)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-15 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Not the best time to leave a fight and I need to get back to make sure the entire planet isn't destroyed...

You have't heard of London? England? Are you not from Earth?

[He supposed that was possible. But he was still getting used to the fact that people here could be anything and from anywhere.]
mysteryhero: (Gesture)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-15 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid not.

But I know of multiverses and that there are other dimensions. Like this one we find ourselves in now.
mysteryhero: (Head tilt)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-15 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He speaks softly.]

I know that it can be difficult to believe and all a bit much to take in...

[Especially, perhaps, in her state.]

Yes, we're here. Do you think you will be alright to get inside?

Oh, did you get a communicator? If you need any emergency help then there should be some sort of medical staff around, I'm sure, who can attend to your injuries.

[He's at once helpful and yet not.]
mysteryhero: (Side view)

[personal profile] mysteryhero 2019-07-15 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives a polite nod.]

No problem. You take care of that head.

[And with that he turns and walks away.]
