[Jaime chooses to use the video function for a couple of reasons: the first is that he’s really, really hoping that someone he can trust will be able to recognize his face if not his voice and the second is that he hopes others will use it too. He doesn’t look happy in the slightest, but he also doesn’t look quite as terrified as he probably should be.] Hi. I guess I’m supposed to introduce myself here. I’m Jaime.

Uh, I already got the run-down from that spooky-weapons-lady a little earlier, but I’m guessing I didn’t get everything about this place because all this? Still makes no sense. So if there’s anything I should know... [He trails off, gaze diverted up into the sky. He tears his eyes away from whatever he's looking at to address the network again.] Aaaanyway, I'm starting to get used enough to this place that I know I'm not gonna make it home in time for dinner anytime soon, but I still want to hear how legit all this is from people who don't actually benefit from spoon feeding me this in--

[He's staring up again. There is a definite boom, and Jaime's eyes widen as he ducks his head as if that will somehow protect him from any debris] Did that spaceship just explode--

[Fade to black as Jaime unceremoniously shoves the device into his pocket, though he does announce his apparent survival a little after the hubbub is wrapped up with the voice-only addition of:] Next time I say I'm even starting to think about getting used to this place, someone should probably hit me. Are exploding spaceships just a thing here?

Yeesh. Way to make an entrance.

[video;] ; guessing he can only see his head and not the little R on his chest!

[khajidont]

I'll say. My introduction might've been a little lame, but I wasn't really expecting that to spice it up. Looks like everyone's okay, though.

...but uh, if you don't mind me asking, what's with the mask?

[video;] that's completely fine!

[pixieboots]

You mean this thing?

[ He taps the side of it, frowning just a little. ]

Don't spread it around, but there's a decoder ring hidden in one of the eyes. Would you believe I found it in the bottom of my Crocky Crunchies?

[khajidont]

Not a chance.

[...]

It doesn't really go with their theme.

And here I was thinking I’d match at the next convention.

[ It's a light, flippant answer. But he's tilting his head to eye him a little more curiously over the feed. This guy wouldn’t be the first he’s met to come from a world without capes, but it’s still unusual enough to be worth a little more analysis. ]

You really don’t know what it is?

I know it's a mask. [...he probably wants a little more elaboration, however, so Jaime indulges him with a small shrug.] And that it's mostly superheroes who wear the kind that only covers the eyes, but you could be wearing it for some other reason.
