[The feed clicks on just as the communicator clatters to the floor, quickly followed by loud, very excited dog barking, so have a nice shot of the ceiling of Dick's room. Aristotle is busy jumping all over Dick's flood counterpart, who you can probably hear trying to get him to calm down, in English and Romanian, both of which sound pretty good accent wise, although from the continued barking, it's pretty clear it's not working.

So it's a few minutes before he finds the communicator and thinks to pick it up. He fumbles with it a little before you get a pretty decent shot of a dark haired kid, who looks about fourteen and is dressed pretty simply, but a little classically, in a white collared shirt and dark pants.]

Hello? [He taps the screen.] What is this, some kind of radio?

[Aristotle shoves himself next to him, sniffing the communicator, and Dick is carefully pushing him aside before he starts licking it or something gross like that.]

I don't know where I am, but... I have your dog?

[ooc: So Dick has swapped places with a Romanian American kid living in Gotham from around 1940ish who for the sake of my sanity is still being called Richard, because I like being quasi self referential like that. The first super heroes of the DCU have started popping up over the last two years or so and the US has entered WWII like usual.]

Hey! I don't recognize the dog, but you're in my friend's room.

How'd I get here?

Would you believe me if I said magic?

... Are you aliens? [I've been abducted haven't I. :|]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

That depends. What planet are you from?

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

This ain't no radio I've ever seen. Last time I saw one, I wasn't able to talk back.

[batmanschmatman]

Then what is it?

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Somethin' from the future.

[batmanschmatman]

Did you get taken by these people too?

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Yeah, woke up in some fancy room I ain't never seen before. What happened to you?

[Have a 19 year old girl dressed in a TINY yellow dress and smiling cheerfully at you, Richard! She almost waves, but then thinks better of it.]

I think it's a little more advanced than just a radio, sweetie, but then again the amount I know about that kind of thing could fit in my handbag, I leave that to the boys. [A self-conscious giggle.]

It's nice to see I'm not the only one turned around, though. I'm Sally, by the way.

[batmanschmatman]

[Have a sort of wide eyed stare, Sally. Where are your clothes D: I mean yes hello.]

My name's Richard. Um, nice to meet you ma'am. Do you know where we are?

[video]

[stepintoshadows.livejournal.com]

Some kind of ship, I think? I'm still trying to figure that out myself. But don't worry, I end up in these kinds of situations more than you'd think.

...Are you all by yourself in there? [Concerned face is concerned; who would leave a kid by himself in a new place, that's just cruel.]

[video]

[batmanschmatman]

Except for this dog, yeah. [And Aristotle is shoving his way back on camera before getting nudged aside again.] What do you mean, you end up like this a lot?

[video]

[stepintoshadows.livejournal.com]

He's such a cute little thing! [She coos at it a bit, and then seems to remember that yeah, it's not right there. It's silly to fuss over it. So she returns her attention to the boy.]

Oh, I wouldn't say a lot, but it's happened a few times. Just a hazard of the job, I guess; I'm a -- oh, what did Nelson call it -- crimefighter. I'm one of the Minutemen. [So.proud of that fact.]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

[And here's a guy in his late twenties, looking an awful lot like a GI, if young Richard's ever seen one before.]

Forget the dog, kid. What is this place?

[batmanschmatman]

... An apartment building? [In space. :|]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

This ain't no apartment building I ever seen.

Who are you?

[batmanschmatman]

Richard Grasu. Who are you?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I'm Harris. What's a kid like you doin' here? They kidnap you too?

[peektuttut]

[Well you look familiar WHY HAS CANON NOT OFFERED SOME SORT OF COMMON FAMILIAL HISTORY, HUH.]

We must be inhabiting spaces belonging to others.

[batmanschmatman]

[NO IDEA but it totally should. Canonnnn o9]

Yeah, I guess so. [Someone is peering at you curiously.] Who are you?
