[no fumbling with comms here, this guy knows how to use a cell phone with video capabilities. However, it's pretty hard to miss that he's addressing the comm while wearing a seriously dorky-looking tiger-themed helmet with the visor flipped up, and a domino mask.]

Okay, for a minute there I thought the others pulled some kind of prank on me, but I read the pamphlet and it looks pretty legit. Uh, mostly. I mean, it could be worded nicer but I guess they got tired of the new guys asking the same questions or something. But, given that I tried my comm bracelet and the camera in my visor and nobody's answering, I'm gonna just go ahead and say...yeah. Hi. Another dimension or back in time or whatever it is, I guess I'm really here.

Oh! But you're heroes, right? Good! Good thing I'm the one who got, uh, teleported or whatever it is, because that's what I do. I'm an honest-to-goodness Hero, you know. Wild Tiger! [he leans in and squints hopefully, like it'll make him more recognizable] You've heard of me, right? You know, Wild Tiger! Partners with Bun...I mean Barnaby, just came in fourth place last season...? Ah, don't worry about it, I like meeting other NEXT, especially heroes. We can talk shop, you know?

But, uh, one quick question. [sheepish look] I don't suppose anyone has any spare clothes to lend me for the night? I, uh, just have my hero suit right now.


((ooc: name on the comm is Wild Tiger - since he arrived in the suit, that's what he told the Porter his name was!))

[Vic's cocking an eyebrow at bit here. Wow, you're pretty serious about the whole 'secret identity' thing huh? And dude, what? NEXT?

That's not the question, though, he'll ask all that later.]

Wish I could help, I just got here. There are stores around though, I'm sure someone could loan you a few bucks to get something that fits.

[video]

[wild_roar]

[Yes. Yes he is]

Oh! Hi there. Well, yeah, I know there's probably a lot of stores around, but I don't exactly have my wallet in this suit. No pockets, you know.

...you think somebody would lend me money? That would be nice.

[video]

[electromexican]

Maybe? We all pretty much start out the same, unless you find someone you know here. Sweet suit, by the way.

[video]

[wild_roar]

Ahaha, thanks! [zomg a fan already!] It is pretty neat, isn't it?

Hmm, someone I know. Well, nobody's responded on the normal channels, so I might be out of luck there. [ignoring the fact that no signal means he can't contact anyone that way anyway] I mean, I guess it would be okay for one night, but after that I'm going to need actual clothes.

[video]

[electromexican]

Yeah, it reminds me a bit of a suit from someone I knew back home.

I'm sure someone will be willing to help. I can try to help you find a place to stay, though. Better than nothing, right?

[unfalteringly]

Does everyone wear stuff like that where you come from?

[ While the rest of what our dear Wild Tiger said is perfectly interesting, that can be addressed momentarily because

that helmet ]

[don't dis Mr. Saitou's hard work, man]

Uh...Heroes do, yeah. Why, don't you?

[unfalteringly]

[ No dude, it's totally awesome. Peeta can dig it ]

No, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that before.

[wild_roar]

Oh. Well, there you go, then. This is my hero suit. The teleporter brought me in from a busy night fighting crime, apparently it was impatient and couldn't wait for me to nab the crook.

[unfalteringly]

Yeah, the teleporter doesn't really seem to care whatever it was we were doing when it decides that it wants us here.

[and a familiar, fabulous voice pops up]

Oh, honey, it's a long story.

[wild_roar]

[perking up now!

Fire Emblem? When did you get here? I just saw you...

Wait, this is a secure channel, right? [because oops what did I just say]

Encrypted

[fireinthehero]

Naturally! Better to talk in a little more secrecy, mmm?

And as for when I got here, I've been here for awhile now, and I've been here before! Like I said, darling, it's a long story. Time is different here in all sorts of ways. Goodness, you've been here before too, and so has Handsome, but the machine is a... tricky thing.

[wild_roar]

What, Bunny, really? [shifty look] He's not here now, is he?

Man, that's so weird. One minute all of us were chasing bank robbers, then next minute I'm here. At least I get a new phone out of it I suppose.

Encrypted

[fireinthehero]

I'm afraid not. No Handsome, none of my girls, no Antonio... Keith was here, once, but only for a little... it's really just you and me!

Can you believe none of them had ever heard of a thing like HeroTV before?

[aliveandticking]

i havent heard of you!

[still video]

[wild_roar]

[the metal pads on his suit's gloves are too thick to type with! Sadface]

...oh. You sure? Guess they really don't have HeroTV here after all.

[ video ]

[aliveandticking]

[ well then she'll switch to video to be polite! he'll see a fourteen year old girl, normal and human looking except for massive quantities of hair ]

Haha, nope, sorry. Are you an actor?

[ video ]

[wild_roar]

[daww that's nice of her. Cute kids are a weakness]

No, no - I'm a Hero. It's all real, no acting!

[ permavideo ]

[aliveandticking]

Oh, okay! So a news station, then?

[incywincyhero]

I'd say welcome back, but it sounds like you're another one who doesn't remember being here before. No worries -- it happens a lot to us returning visitors.

[wild_roar]

Ah, nope. Can't say that I do. Sorry.

[incywincyhero]

Eh, figured as much. Feel like I'm saying this a lot, lately, but -- hey, I'm Spider-Man, he of the friendly neighborhood, not to be confused with Spider-Woman, Spider-Girl, Spider-G -- wait, second Spider-Girl isn't here. Guess that makes things a little easier for the newbies...

[wild_roar]

Spider - oh! You must be the guy Fire Emblem was telling me about. Hey. Nice to meet you.

[incywincyhero]

The guy Fire Emblem -- oboy. Just what exactly did he say about me?
