The First Day - Origin [Action]

[cowledcrusader]

 [It's been a week now since Bruce landed in Luceti.  Being the detective he is renowned for back home, he was quick to study Luceti, the guide, and other aspects about the place as quickly as he could.  Being caught unprepared might be lethal.  So when he was confident he had absorbed enough through the guide, simple experimentation, and the like, he decided to strike it out and learn more about the people here.  He already discovered the existence of something called a "Justice League" here, but there was only one name that rung a bell.  Superman.  He didn't know who the Man of Steel was, save that he was a metahuman from Metropolis.  Relatively speaking, he was a new guy.   For now, though, he was going to avoid contact with him if at all possible.  If he was from his world, he might recognize him as Bruce Wayne, something he didn't want to risk.

Especially considering his Batman gear hadn't shown up yet.  Bruce was doing his best to gather supplies under the radar in case they didn't show up, but given Luceti's low-tech level, getting most of the gear he was acclimated to would be difficult without help.  But that wasn't about to stop him.

But either way.  Bruce will be wondering around Luceti for most of today, loitering at the library to read some, stopping by Good Spirits for a cup of coffee, browsing the stores, and making a stop at the Smithy.   He's a man on a mission.  Meet people, learn more about this place if at all possible.  And to play up his act a bit more, if you're a beautiful woman, expect him to be extra polite.  And don't be offended if he doesn't introduce himself as Bruce Wayne... a man has to be extra cautious in the unknown.]

(OOC: Replies will come from nocapesorcowls .  Members of the League who can identify him as Bruce Wayne may do well to keep their distance for now as a matter of preference, or expect to be lied to.  A lot.)

[And quietly, this is a library after all, Bruce responds.]

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. Were you looking for something? I can help you if you'd like.

Just browsing at the moment. Got any recommendations? I generally prefer non-fiction.

What subjects do you prefer?

I should introduce myself as well. I'm Mizuno Ami. Pleased to meet you.

Well, there's a lot of different cultures to learn about in a place like this, right? That seems like a good place to start.

And I'm Gaff Morgan. Pleasure to meet you too.

This might be strange for me to be the one to say, but I don't think the best way to learn that is books. Talking to the people here will tell you more.

Well, I've been doing some of that too. It's just an interest, I guess. Might as well get to know the neighbors while we're stuck here, if you know what I mean. Both ways work.

Mm. In that case, I'll begin. I'm Mizuno Ami, from Tokyo, Japan, on Earth in the year 2008.

Ah, I'm from... New York. In the United States, around 1997. I actually visited Tokyo on a business venture before. Japan's quite a beautiful country.

[Most of that's true, but he's not going to get too much into the specifics. Gotham isn't being mentioned unless it's brought up by someone else first. He's still not sure if there's anyone here who knows about what his world is like.]

[There's plenty she's not saying, too. Her identity may be a more open secret here these days, but that's still a secret. It's not something to make its way into an introduction. Ami smiles politely.]

I'm glad you enjoyed my country. As you said, it's very beautiful.

[Especially when youma aren't threatening it anymore.]

It is, though it's not likely for me to go back unless another business trip comes up, unfortunately. Getting to Japan's unfortunately very expensive.

But there's plenty to see in the US too, thankfully.

You're a businessman, then. [This is of course very important; it lets her filter 'Gaff' into the proper place in the social hierarchy.]
