I suppose I am be grateful for the sudden kidnapping when it came.
It could not have come at a better time.
But I wonder how many were brought here to escape their lives rather than the immediate situation at hand?

My name is Bruce Wayne from Gotham. I doubt there are any here from my city, but if you are, please contact me.

I also have a question for anyone reading this: is the Friendr application truly useful? Does anyone find suitable friends that way, or is it best to find them the old-fashioned way?

Thank you

Hi Bruce, I'm Marinette! Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

I'm not from Gotham I'm afraid, so I can't help you there. As for the Friendr app -- I, actually don't use it. I stick to making friends the old fashioned way. [ She kind of found it a bit impersonal, going through an app. ]

I think it's a bit easier to get a judge of someone in person... USUALLY.

[bruceno]

I see
Thank you for the advice

How long have you been here?

[de_evilise]

Oh jeez. About.. three months? It feels like it's been a lot longer though.

You said you were pulled into this place when you were trying to escape your life..? Things must have been pretty bad for you if you're grateful to be kidnapped to another world like this..

[bruceno]

In the moment I was grateful
But I have left too much unfinished back home to stay here

[de_evilise]

Yeaah, I think that's a sentiment a lot of us here share, including me. But for the time being, we at least try to help each other out, when we can.

[bruceno]

So the people here are fairly supportive then

[de_evilise]

Yeah, the ones I've met, at least. There could be some who are ... less so.

[ And that was fine - entirely on them, but fine. ]

I haven't met any like that though.

Are you going to be attending any of the schools here?

[bruceno]

I've been enrolled in Riverview High School

[ Though if he'll attend is another matter. Bruce hasn't decided yet. ]

[de_evilise]

Oh really? I go there too. Don't know if we'll be in any of the same classes, but if you need help, I'd be happy to help you out.

[ A lot of people her age she knows don't want to attend school since you don't -have- to. Not Marinette. She might play hooky some days, or be late other days, but she would never be able to look her parents in the eye if she skipped out on an education. When she goes back home. ]

[bruceno]

Thank you
What grade are you in?

[de_evilise]

[ Oh yeah, that's a valid question. He could be in a grade higher than her and her offer of help won't mean anything. ]

They placed me in grade nine - Freshman. How about you?

[bruceno]

Me, too, actually

[de_evilise]

[ Oh! That was one worry off her shoulders. ]

Really? Cool! I was worried for a second there you were in a different grade than me, and I wasn't thinking when I offered that help. I mean, I wouldn't be much help if I was in a different grade.

[bruceno]

Maybe not
If you were a grade above me you could still help me if I needed it

[ Which he likely won't. He's a smart cookie when it comes to learning. The same can not be said about socially interacting with his peers. ]

[de_evilise]

Well, that's true, yeah. I didn't think about it that way.

[ Fortunately social interactions with her peers she gets A++'s in! ]
