Lars hasn't walked far before he's noticed by a man with a goatee wearing a long leather jacket. He's studying the buildings more than the street itself, but the cape catches his eye.

"Nice cape," he remarks. "I had one like that, once."

[donutzombie]

"Oh." Lars stops short, not particularly surprised that he's been stopped already. Between the way he's dressed and being pink, he realizes he catches the eye. "Uh... Thanks."

He almost leaves it at that, but then figures that now that he's in a conversation, he might as well get some information.

"So, where are we?"

[playingtrack3]

"In the city of Nautilus, near the Inner Southern Gate." He looks him up and down, casually, intrigued more by Lars' gauges than anything else. The use of 'we' instead of 'I' very slightly suggests a new arrival.

"What's the last thing you remember? You might need a few other things explained."

[donutzombie]

Lars scowls at the simple answer; as far as he's concerned, this situation does not call for just a simple answer.

"Yeah, I do," he remarks, before sighing and glancing up. "I don't know. I was just on my ship... Sleeping, I guess?"

[playingtrack3]

"Then I have a bit of a cold shock for you. You've been pulled out of time and space into an alternate reality. Everyone here has. The people here call it Wakening, and the city of Nautilus itself seems to be what's responsible. It's sentient, living off of the chaos energy it creates by pulling people through. But anyone who lives here can learn the ability to manipulate that chaos to their own means."

He bends up a cup of coffee out of thin air.

"It takes practice. But once you catch on, it's simple willpower."

[donutzombie]

Lars tries to take all that information in, but it's hard to do when a stream of 'nope, nu-uh, no way, too weird' is running through his mind - especially when that coffee cup just appears out of nowhere. Hasn't he already experienced enough craziness?

So in the end, all he can do is hold his head in his hands and ask, "Seriously?"

[playingtrack3]

"Mm-hmm. You're not going mad. Well. Any madder than you might have already been."

He shrugs, and takes a sip of that coffee when it looks like the newcomer isn't going to take it from him.

"I have to say, I'm not usually the welcoming committee."
