So the transport button definitely works. Holy crap. Did I hit the jackpot or what?

Looks like there's been activity on this thing, too. Are there actually other people out there? [It occurs to him suddenly: did Peter get one of these, too? He bristles at the thought and decides to pursue answers subtly. For once.] Actually, better question: what determines who gets one of these?

Good looks, right? ;)

Okay, but seriously. If you've got some answers, humor me, will you? I'm gonna go exploring.

Answers there are aplenty, if you but have the right questions. ;)

[goblinjr]

Yay, proverbs. Just what I wanted.

[story_and_teller]

Oh, is that so? You should've said so in the first place; I've got plenty of those, too.

[goblinjr]

No! I was being sarcastic, geez. You seem awfully unphased by all this.

[story_and_teller]

Oh, I'm one of those terrible sorts for whom life is an endless adventure, nothing to strange to keep my spirits down.

[goblinjr]

'Terrible sorts'? That's kind of begging to be elaborated on.

Reading you loud and clear.

And there's a woman at the McAran Tower who answered a few questions for me. What're you looking to find out?

[goblinjr]

Oh. I guess I shouldn't have taken off down the street, then.

Just curious if there's a way to find out who all has one of these.

[justakidfrombrklyn]

Not sure about that. I asked how I got it and she was a little cagey on the point, but it was pretty clear it's because she didn't have the answers.

We could do a quick roll call or something?

[goblinjr]

Huh. So... if she didn't give these to us, who did?

We could try. No guarantee everyone will pipe in, though. Or... anyone, for that matter.

[justakidfrombrklyn]

We also have no way of knowing if more people won't join in afterwards.

And she did say that they're devices from McAran but not any model that's in production or for sale.

[goblinjr]

Eh. Good point.

Gives me the feeling these are prototypes and we're the ones testing it out. I swear, if this thing teleports me into a wall... [Well. He'll be dead, but. If he figures out how to come back as a ghost, he'll haunt the hell out of this place.]

I am as new to this place as you are, I imagine. Exploring seems to be the best way to become familiar with it. It's all quite fascinating.

[goblinjr]

You aren't kidding. This place is amazing! I can't believe where I am now is only a small piece of it.

[ Genuinely can't resist switching up his username to echo his other self and, well, aiming to be just as much of an irritation; it's fun, having another him to play off that he actually gets along with. Also, it's apparently Norman's son and while Loki doesn't have (and never used to have) anything against the guy, an Osborn isn't to be ignored one way or another. ]

You might as well ask, what determines anything? :-O???

[goblinjr]

[As soon as Harry realizes there are two Lokis, he's going to have a conniption fit. Even more so when he realizes they're supposed to be mentors. As it stands, he just thinks there's one very annoying and persistent jerk.]

GO AWAY

[ikols]

[ The mentors you need, not the mentors you want!! ]

I only just got here.

[goblinjr]

[/gross sobbing]

Are you KIDDING me? You've been harassing me for the past several minutes!

[ikols]

Ah, I see you've met my sibling.

All sorts, yeah. Chattering away.

What's ; ) ?

[goblinjr]

Are you a newcomer, too?

It's a winking face! If you look at it sideways, I mean.

[devoutish]

I haven't gone anywhere.

[goblinjr]

You haven't used the transport button yet?

[devoutish]

No. Thought about it. But I don't completely trust it.
