[The first thing Charles had done when he had woken up in a strange place was to gather information. That was a simple enough task when he had noticed he wasn't the only person around even if he couldn't see anyone. The second was to examine the new additions to his pocket

[He can't help but grin. Well, it's nice to know he isn't the only one that has technology trouble around here.]

You're not doing so bad, you know. Try coming from 1944.

I'm Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers. Welcome to Somarium.

[If Charles thought coming during the Cuban Missile crisis was bad it must have been a lot worse coming during WWII.]

You have me there. It must have been much harder for you.

It's a pleasure to meet you Steve. [He'd probably recognise him if he introduced himself as Captain America instead.]

I was lucky enough to have a friend here already. Or, well, a friend's son, anyways. It helped a lot.

Nice to meet you, too. [He doesn't really go around doing that, unfortunately. He's still somewhat got the mind frame that that all is top secret.]

[Did Steve forget the time he went around selling government bonds?]

It must have been a great comfort to find someone you know here. It would certainly help with the disorientation.

They do take a bit of getting used to. It's easier for people familiar with cell phones. Although... if you're from 1962, that would be a bit ahead of your time, wouldn't it?

This one is called a Dreamberry.

[pointofserenity]

You have that right, I'm afraid I don't know what a 'cell phone' is.

[He hums.]

A Dreamberry for a Dream world is it?

[1blackcat]

That's right. A bit derivative, isn't it? But it works.

A cell phone is a portable telephone that operates off of a battery and relies on a network of radio signals to transmit the signal. They revolutionized phone communication by allowing people to call one another at nearly any location.

Dreamberries are similar in function with a more advanced range of options, like the video feed we're using now.

[pointofserenity]

That is interesting.

Do these require a battery as well? Or have already taken it into account?

[nolessthanseven]

There's tons of people around here. Not sure that we've got many actual professors, though. So that's kind of cool.

[pointofserenity]

I can't call myself one officially until I actually get some students though.

[nolessthanseven]

Maybe you should go work at the university. I hear it's pretty exciting as far as students go.

[pointofserenity]

That does sound like a great idea. I do like to keep busy.

Does the university here have many students?

You don't seem to be too worried about revealing personal information about yourself. Given that you're in an unknown world.

[He'd already checked to make sure people like Shaw weren't here with him.]

I don't believe I have any enemies who would care about that. Besides, it's only polite to introduce yourself.

[agreat_thief]

Fair enough. Then I suppose I should introduce myself as well. My name is Bela Talbot.

And it is a pleasure to meet you. [Charming smile go!]

Have you been a resident here long?

Welcome to your own dreams, Charles. [Arthur is not the best at greeting new arrivals, but he does offer his own name as part of his introduction.] I am Arthur Pendragon of Camelot. Don't feel too accomplished about waking here - you're likely to still be exactly wherever i'tis you fell asleep when you really wake up.

[pointofserenity]

[That has got to be a coincidence. There is no way that he is who Charles thinks he is. He's just a beat too slow at responding.]

That's why I'm more inclined to think of this as a brief adventure. I'd prefer not to worry people.

[noblependragon]

Of course. Nothing to worry about when you're just sleeping and unable to wake up for months on end. [Clearly, Arthur woke up on the wrong side of the bed without any projectiles within reach to throw at Merlin's head.] You don't seem terribly worried about it. Might you be used to these crazy sorts of things?

[pointofserenity]

[Grumpiness has no effect whatsoever on Charles.]

You never think that your dreams ever last very long. [A self deprecating smile.] I wouldn't call it crazy, but things were rather hectic for me before.
