[Starting this off with talking and visuals right away. Lois is settled on a couch in her apartment, one arm wrapped around her and the other tapping at her earpiece.]

So I noticed as I was exploring this ... world? Dimension? Area?

[Hm. What should she call this? She huffs out a breath and quirks a grin.]

This isn't my first time being off of my Earth but it's definitely by first time being in a whole other time. That's real anyhow.

[Moving on!]

I noticed that there's a Daily Planet here. Next to Wayne Tower which was weird to see. It's there though and I want to know who it showed up with. Or if any of you go there, work there, all that.

I did go in and look around but none of the usual people were there of course.

[Does she sounds slightly disappointed? Of course. Realistically she hadn't expected any of them though but much like not expecting her father to be around it doesn't mean it isn't still disappointing.]

Basically I want in on whatever is going on in there. It's only fair, I was their ace reporter over at the Daily Planet.

[She laughs then, her smile turning mischievous.]

Okay, okay, not their ace reporter. Not yet anyhow.

[Oh boy. Jason's wondering if this is the younger version of an ace reporter Jason's heard of back home]

Sorry. I got here a couple of months and it was already unoccupied I think.

Who were you expecting?

[metrop_lois]

Well considering there didn't seem to be much of anyone there I wasn't expecting a whole lot.
If it's like most of the buildings here though it had to come from someone in that universe being here, right?

[Who had she hassled to learn about the whole buildings and people thing? She's not telling.]

So it's a decent guess it had to be someone from Metropolis too.

[She's still working on the theory that they must be attached to it. Why else would the Daily Planet pop up and not their childhood home or something?]

[leastdramatic]

Yeah, that makes sense. Otherwise, how else would they have gotten pulled in?

It's really weird seeing bits and parts from your world here but also knowing you're in a completely foreign place

[metrop_lois]

AND seeing two completely different buildings from completely different cities just show up next to each other.

I still expect that one donut shop to be down the street from the Daily Planet.

[leastdramatic]

Yeah, sorry. No donut shops around here. It would be nice though

Is there anything else you recognize here?

[godkaru]

I'm not sure what's going on there to help, but what's a Daily Planet?

video;

[metrop_lois]

An office building and usually home to Metropolis' number one source for news!

[She says that quite proudly, thank you.]

[godkaru]

And... Metroplis is...

Where you're from?

[That would make the most sense. Lois seems proud so she doesn't want to outright say she's never heard of it.]

[metrop_lois]

That's right! Nice city ... uh. If you know what they're like.

[Yeah she's taking it for granted that if folks don't know Metropolis (which she doesn't expect them to) then they probably know what a city looks like.]

[godkaru]

How big of a city?

Is it bigger than Tokyo?

[Her only real frame of reference besides the small villages in Cefiro and the castle there. But She at least can give that.]

[nobraincell]

There's a planet next to a tower? I didn't know they could be that small.

[metrop_lois]

Well to be honest it's not that small really. It's a pretty good sized building! And the globe on the top is nothing to sneeze at either.

[nobraincell]

[Ohhh it's a building...]

What kind of building is it? Do you send reports there?

[metrop_lois]

[Lois is none the wiser to his line of thought thankfully. Maybe? Wait until she presses him later.]

The Daily Planet is a news organization based out of Metropolis. Well, usually anyhow. So you could say we write reports there.

[nobraincell]

[But what's Metropolis...more importantly he's trying to think of what kind of places require you to write reports.]

So you work for the government. [This is (probably) a question.]

Clark Kent was here previously.

[metrop_lois]

[Ah yeah, that makes sense. But--]

Which Clark Kent?

[If there are many different types of Superman then there has to be many different Clarks. There's plenty of versions of her anyhow.]

[brat]

A Clark Kent.
I don't have a labeling system for reporters.

[metrop_lois]

But you have one for other people?

[brat]

Doesn't everyone?

[revengeisalie]

[ Huh. Someone who's familiar both with... interdimensional travel? Still a weird concept to Rin.

And some of the buildings here. Interesting. And also very unfair, seeing as there seem to be several people from the same world arriving every so often, but Rin has yet to see anyone from hers.

But, well. That's not something to tell this stranger. ]

I can't tell you who it showed up with, but I think it was pretty early on.

Back when I arrived, Etraya was much emptier. There was only the hospital, the apartment building and some shops. But then, more and more buildings started appearing. I think they're from all of our different homeworlds.

[metrop_lois]

Makes sense to me. I figured it only made sense the buildings had to come from somewhere ... or rather, from the homeworld of someone who was here. I guess it's also people who were here at one point.

[Lois sighs out there. She hadn't figured Clark or Jimmy or Kara could be here or surely she would have run into them before now. Still it told her that one of them had been here at some point and for whatever reason they had been pulled away. So it was likely she could be pulled away too for whatever reason.

She sits that all aside for now though because this woman's mentioning when she first arrived. Soooo!]

Did you notice any kind of pattern to the sort of buildings that arrived?

video;

[revengeisalie]

[ Okay, fine, they can do video.

Rin taps her finger to her chin in thought. ]

Hmm, well, I don't know all of them well, but they seem to be buildings that are important to people, like residences or community centers.

[metrop_lois]

Mm, that's what I thought. Then the Daily Planet was bound to have come with Clark. Someone else mentioned he had been here before.

[She pauses here and since she's on video she back up a bit. She's 5' here and she gestures way above her head. A good 6' if not more.]

Don't happen to remember a guy this tall, glasses, dark hair? Clark Kent?

[Now all the Clarks she's seen (chiefly the ones in that hologram device thing) have all looked the same so she just figures it's the same even now.]

[revengeisalie]

[ Rin ponders this for a moment. She hasn't talked to everyone in Etraya by far, but she's seen most people who were there in the beginning around, at least. ]

I think so? I never spoke to him. But I think I remember seeing someone like that around.
