[Alright, so Hawkeye may, in fact, have spent some time going through the device and getting familiar with it, and he may have read up on the situation at hand, but he's not one to run in without a plan. Well, not into all-out war, anyway. He may also have noticed some familiar people in the archives.

Unobtrusive, he stands in a corner of the banquet hall, sending out a short message:]

I heard there's some things that need shooting. My kind of welcome.

[swissarmybow]

I'm not that worried about animals.

[onemoredeath]

Oh? I suppose you have dragons and other intelligent creatures in your world?

[swissarmybow]

Aliens, apparently.

[onemoredeath]

And here, we are the aliens. We also are working with some and there are dragons and talking hedgehogs among our numbers.

[swissarmybow]

Hedgehogs?

[onemoredeath]

Yes. One is called Sonic and the other considers himself a perfect being.

[swissarmybow]

Sonic... the hedgehog?

[onemoredeath]

That is the one.

[swissarmybow]

That sounds special.

[onemoredeath]

I suppose. He was chatting about making the planet greener through our trips in time.

[swissarmybow]

An environmentally conscious hedgehog. Alright, this place is weirder than advertised.

[onemoredeath]

It could be worse. We could all be ponies.

[swissarmybow]

That sounds like the voice of experience.

[onemoredeath]

I am among the first groups to arrive here.

[swissarmybow]

Got it. So it's crazy here?

[onemoredeath]

Yes. It can be very crazy here, though nothing to the point of us waking up in different bodies.

[swissarmybow]

Different bodies doesn't sound like something I want to see.

[onemoredeath]

It is not. Some may enjoy the idea of waking up as an alien but I am too comfortable in my own skin to want that.

[swissarmybow]

It just sounds creepy. Besides, I'm not that big on aliens to begin with.

[onemoredeath]

From what a few of our space travelers tell us, the aliens are as mixed as humanity can be.

[swissarmybow]

I don't doubt they've got the variety, but I don't want to be body-snatched.

[onemoredeath]

I doubt anyone here would do that unless they are holding it back.

[swissarmybow]

Good.

So how weird is this place?

[onemoredeath]

It is a place of ruins and hard work. [ A shrug. ] A few things are rather backwards while some is on the high end of technology. It can get odd but not overly weird.

At least, that is what I think.

[swissarmybow]

I don't mind high tech or a little hard work. What I mind is a constant threat of death and dismemberment. As long as we're lacking that, I'm in business.
