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.)

It's something I've heard about. To hear they have such power over life and death... that's a disturbing proposition.

I'm not so sure it's them. More like this place...I mean, they're subject to it too.

...I can't say that that's much better. It creates more questions than it answers.

It's not better at all, no.

[ but it's a pet mis-comprehension that buffy is keen on pointing out. ]

Are people any closer to figuring out a way out of this than they were when this mess started? Whenever that was?

Information-wise? We get more crumbs than slices.

So it's like trying to put together a chandelier.

But all the pieces are broken?

I...guess. [ she falters. ] If the chandelier was also on fire and maybe the pieces are from two different chandeliers.

There's bound to be someone who enjoys that sort of challenge.

Yeah. Boring people. The kind of people who own those puzzle mats.
