[Action - Locked to Bolin]

For what seemed like moments ago, Static watched as his mother vanished into darkness. A barrier constructed of space of time kept him from reaching her. And there'd been nothing he could do. Everything went dark and then there was nothing.

Until now. There was grass, the sounds of chirping birds and the sun getting in his eyes. Immediately Virgil sat up in a panic and looked around frantically.

"Mom!?"

But as far as he could tell, there was nothing. Worse than that, he realized he was in nothing but a pair of white pants that he had way more sense than to ever pick up for himself. And he was in a forest, which didn't bode well. Okay, so you're Virgil right now. In the middle of nowhere. Possibly in Medieval times if Timezone messed things up.

"Oh man. Not good."

Warily, he began to explore.

[Action - Afternoon]

So he was stuck in a place called Luceti. The first thing he did, once he got a chance to be by himself, was circle back to the clothing store and assemble his Static outfit. He found his metal disc at the item shop not long after. So once he felt confident with his much weaker powers, he took off towards the barrier. After about fifteen minutes of pumping it with electricity and getting nowhere, he decided it would be a bad idea to drain himself completely and be forced to walk all the way back to the town. So he returned to town, found a convenient power outlet to draw power from at the Tea Shop, and finally decided to do something about the journal. The question was... introduce himself as Static or as Virgil Hawkins?

Well, the answer was obvious.

So hey, Static here. If you haven’t heard of me, I’m a superhero from Dakota City. But really, has anyone heard of me? No, it’s not in North or South Dakota. I get that a lot. So I guess you could kinda say I’m new here. But I was kind of wondering about how to deal with the superhero thing. There's others here, right? The secret identity thing is pretty important, after all. But it's probably gonna be hard keeping it secret in a small town like this. Unless I just wear the mask all the time. I could probably do that if I have to.

Man, I just wish the Justice League was here. Batman would have already found a way out of this place by now.

"That sounds... less than comfortable," Artemis chuckled as she climbed up the stairs, swiftly leading the way to the fourth floor and into their kitchen.

She motioned to their surroundings, then started pointing out doors. "This is obviously the kitchen. We all share it. Zatanna and I cook occasionally when we get the urge and try to make enough for the boys too although it's not really a daily thing. There's stuff in the fridge and the cupboards though. Not to mention all the places in town to get a meal or food for free. Z and I have that apartment there. One of the Robins is there in that one next to us. The other has that door there. You get to figure out your own way to tell them apart, because honestly, having two Robins just makes my head hurt to think about sometimes. Any questions?"

A shared kitchen seemed cool. The idea of the floor being shared seemed even better. It might even sort of be like simulating an actual house. Only withou his Pops or his sister. Still, it was something.

"Uh, yeah. Where's the living room area?"

Static was under the mistaken impression that each apartment was just an individual room, like dorms at a college.

"We each have our own. See?" She waved him over to one of the empty doors and pushed it open to show him the inside. "They're all laid out pretty much the same way. And each one has three bedrooms and a bath with it. I suppose we've got plenty of places to stick people if any mroe of the team shows up."

"Oh. So. It's like your own personal apartment." It seemed very lonely. He smiled anyway. "Cool."

"Something like that," she agreed with a casual shrug, leaning comfortably against the door frame. "Z and I hang out a lot in the kitchen anyway. Or in our living room, but our door's usually open, if you ever want to come hang out or you get bored or something," she offered him with a crooked grin. "Not that we're all that entertaining, but I suppose it's better than nothing."

"Sure, maybe." He shrugged. "Anyway, thanks for the tour. I think I can handle it from here."

"Sure," she answered with a grin, taking a step back to make room for him. "Yell if you need anything, yeah?"

He gave a half wave as he walked away. "Sure. Later, Artemis."
