"English, myself."

"The three of us are speaking English, I suppose he is too," Trevor waves at Martin, "but there is a translation effect going on so he might be speaking German for all we know."

Trevor is not leering, but since the newcomer is from god-knows-where he does glance to see if all that dark-blue hair looks natural.

"Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not speaking the same language as you guys, or at least it's nowhere near guaranteed, because I just tried two different ones, Seren and Keiruna, but cool."

He walks in from the door. It does appear that the hair is natural, or perhaps he just dyes all of it really thoroughly.

Permalink

Heh, hardly the weirdest thing they've seen today.

"So we are from the United States of America, on Earth, 2015. I'm Trevor, these are Felix and Fenris."

Permalink

"No idea where that is!" says the newcomer. "I'm Itaruko. Currently living in the country of Kerune. Originally from a really small town called Eiro. I assume you also have no idea where these places are."

Permalink

"Absolutely not. Likely a completely different universe. Earth is our planet."

Permalink

"We are human, in case you don't recognize the species as well."

Permalink

"At least in Seren, our planet is just referred to as 'our planet'. I mean, there's probably a word if you're being technical, like how our star has a star classification, but not in everyday speech? I'm not sure about Keiruna – I'm not actually properly fluent, and having to refer to 'our planet' isn't that common? I'm a Luna, though. Hence the hair." He gestures to his head. Then looks down and also gestures to his torso and legs, since they're visible.

"Also a human, for the record."

Permalink

"We are technically empowered humans, which is not a distinct species, but plenty find the empowered part more relevant."

Permalink

"People's priorities are funny like that."

Permalink

"So, Luna, haven't heard of that one before, only kind of people on your planet?"

Permalink

"… Nope. There are also Thamari and Rhunes. If you all have eyes like that, you would probably notice a Rhune? The sclera bit is colored. Thamari have, uh, marks across their shoulders. And Luna have colored hair. Other things – Thamari are typically, uh, bulkier? – but otherwise those are probably the easiest to identify."

Permalink

"At least in my experience, yeah, human eyes are all white sclera."

Permalink

"Yeah, sometimes empowered get mutations that cause non-standard colors, but not consistently."

Permalink

"Do you have magic in your own world?"

Permalink

"No," he says. "Empowered? What, you do have magic?"

Permalink

Fenris repeats the levitation trick.

Permalink

While Felix dashes across the run at super-speed, stands long enough for him to be registered by Itaruko and then returns to his seat.

Permalink

Doesn't take long for Itaruko to register that. "… Right," he says. "Neat, I guess, is there a way for me to get ahold of some?"

Permalink

"Apparently it comes with a chance of death. It's also not a thing we have on my planet."

Permalink

He tilts his head.

Permalink

Felix provides the explanation.

"It might not even work on you, even if you look remarkably human."

Permalink

"Not sure I want to chance that third-chance of death, either." He walks further into the bar and takes a seat. "So. Are we discussing anything interesting? Each other's worlds, or languages, or why we're all wearing rather little? I mean, this is little by my culture's standards, at least."
