[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!))

[just. whoa, man.]

Geez. No wonder you need heroes. Well, good thing I'm here, then!

It sure doesn't hurt to have another guy for the good team. And hey, if Fire Emblem likes you you must be good people. [Even if you are kind of a goofball.]

Well, he's good people, too, so why not? A friend of his is a friend of mine. Just, uh, watch out for the Kotetsu stuff, eh? I want to keep that quiet as long as I can.

Hey, you don't need to tell me twice. I get the secret identity thing, believe-you-me. I only mentioned it because I thought you should have a heads up -- there are people here who love to dig, and they don't have your best intentions at heart. Plus you don't want to be dealing with that mess if more of your friends or family show up.

[heh!] With a name like Spider-man, I'd guess you probably do.

I'm not worried about friends, if anything it might be more of the Heroes and they're up on things. But if for some odd reason my daughter ended up here...ah, I don't even want to think about that! That would be no good in all kinds of ways.

Well, uh ... I hate to tell you this, pal, but she was here already, a while back. So was that one guy, what was his name... Barnaby? Kinda tall, kinda pale, hair out of a L'Oreal commercial.

[busting. up. LAUGHING]

Yeah, that's Bunny all right. Yeah, Fire Emblem told me some of that. It just hasn't really sunk in, you know? I mean, I don't remember being here, but everybody else does.

Then I guess I'd better say, I hope she doesn't end up here again. At least Barnaby can take care of himself.

It's freaky at first, but you get used to it eventually. [Heh.] Like a lot of things about this place.

Tell you what -- if I see her show up and you haven't found her already, I'll call you and look after her until you get there, all right?

I'd appreciate that a lot. Thanks.

Hey, all us animal-powered types gotta stick together, right? Don't worry about it.
