Well. It seems that the confluences bringing us here aren't going to be few and far between. I'd offer welcome our newcomers, but I'm not certain I have a place playing at host. I've only been finding my own feet here for some weeks. Some of you already know me as Magneto, but you can call me Erik.

[He smiles lightly and looks pleasant enough, but there's an innate sternness he can't fully quell. Also, he's not quite making proper eye contact with the camera. This is a man who has never facetimed before.]

I am curious, though. I know none of us are from this world, but I am curious how many of you arrived here to recognize...variants. Of people you thought you knew, or saw in the world itself. And I'd like to know if you were familiar with such possibilities before your arrival. I've discussed these matters with some of you already, but I wonder how common it is.

In my case, the answer is yes to both. I am from Earth, but this world is very, very different from the one I know. Better in many ways.

[He considers adding more before thinking better of it and leaving it at that.]

Really. Was your journey to this other world purposeful or as unexpected as our arrival here?

[doctopoda]

Entirely unexpected.
It was the result of some sort of magical accident on their side.

I've seen magic before, but none powerful enough to pierce walls between worlds. At least as far as I know.

[doctopoda]

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you much about it.
That was the first time I'd ever seen magic at all, and we didn't exactly get a chance to learn much.

[Things were, understandably, a little chaotic. The wizard, again understandably, wanted them all dead. You know how it goes.]
