[ there's still snow melting on jon's shoulders and in his curls as he lifts a hand in greeting, a small, slightly uncertain smile on his face. evidently he's done the superman thing and either speedran the introduction to this new dimension, or else after the alliance brought the newbies to the diadem, he'd instead gone back out to help in the blizzard for a while longer. both options are equally likely. ]
Hi. [ for a moment, he looks every inch the worried seventeen-year-old he really is, but then his expression smooths, smile firming into friendly confidence. ] For those that don't know me, at home, I'm called Superman. I don't usually operate at the behest of a particular organization, but.. this isn't my dimension, I guess. [ he's probably still not signing up for a guild, considering he didn't even join the league, but.. you know. never say never. ]
Anyway, I still have a lot to pick up, since I'm a pretty new arrival, but I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself, since I'm aware that an unexpected blue-and-red blur in the sky could be kind of alarming if you don't know what it is.
[ his other purpose with this is to check in with anyone else at home, but he doesn't want to call them out if they're in hiding. ]
.. Also, I've done a little reading about the guilds here, and I'd love to hear your opinions about them, whether you're a native inhabitant of this dimension or not. Thanks!

[He's joking! Really, though...]
I'll tell you the truth, I wouldn't have joined if it weren't legally required. I don't pass for a regular person very easily anymore, and I didn't want to live like a fugitive.
They could be treating us much worse, but at the end of the day, it's still put me on some kind of government registry. It's fundamentally dangerous.
And so is being unregistered. Especially lately - they've been cracking down hard.
I think it all really depends on what sorts of risks you're willing to live with.

i'm so sorry to hear that. you shouldn't have to choose between a potentially abusive registration and persecution and homelessness.
i don't know that there's anything any of us can realistically do about it, given that this isn't our world or even our dimension, but i'm going to try.

It's alright.
I don't love it, but the resources they've given me have been enough that I can help people who don't want to register.
There's a lot of kids out there who won't sign up. Somebody needs to be looking out.
That's very kind of you, but be careful. The political situation here has been difficult for us lately.
