Is this the only public forum we can introduce ourselves?

[He paused, not looking very certain about this. After a moment, he gave a shrug, deciding to go with it.]

My name is Soma Cruz, and I'm originally from Hakuba City, Japan. I... guess you could say I'm a monster hunter of sorts...

[Nevermind he's... er... the reincarnation of the source of a lot of those monsters? Oops.]

Anyway, it'd really be great if my friends ended up here. Guys, if you're here, call me back? If anyone knows Mina Hakuba, Genya Arikado, Julius Belmont, Yoko Belnades, and Hammer, please let them know I'm looking for them.

[He looks a bit uncertain still... like he already knows they're not here, but he doesn't want to believe it.]

Nope, I don't know any of those names. Sorry.

I'm kind of curious, though -- "monster hunter?"

[whitedarklord]

Thanks anyway.

[Soma shrugged slightly; there wasn't much to say about monster hunting.]

It sounds better than 'occasional monster slayer and castle buster'.

[...which was much closer to the truth.]

[second_destiny]

No, I'm just surprised there's another world out there where monsters are a thing. They aren't in my world; just enemy soldiers.

[whitedarklord]

They're not common, but they exist in the right places. Most places on my world are normal.

[second_destiny]

Yeah, there's nothing like that where I'm from. But around here, that's a step up. You've got experience fighting, uh...creatures like the ones that appear here.

[whitedarklord]

Shadows, right?

Have you encountered any yet?

[second_destiny]

Yeah. I've been in a few fights. But all I have is a gun and my fists, so it hasn't been easy.

[Only because he's not busting out the 19-meter-tall robot for small fry.]

[whitedarklord]

Anything about them that sticks out?

[The least little information will help him defend himself later.]

[second_destiny]

Not really. They're all different.
