"Oh? I don't know who this Joel is, but if he needs a limb I guess he's injured? I might be able to help with that." He said to Winona. "I'm Alain. Some people just call me Al, but I don't really like that name."

"What?" Sophia asked as she looked up from the paper, over to Yeul. "Well..." Sophia looked back at the paper, assumeably written in English. "I was actually just getting to that. It looks like the same language I think." She said as she looked at it closely.
What's the paper say Trilby?

"To be honest, we don't know. Happened while we were asleep." the man replied.
The paper would have news of various recent events, including the earlier parts of Desperado's activities.

Hearing EMily beating him to asking his question, Caius listened to what the shop owner's response would be. When he heard the reply, Caius hummed. Then that makes three to have no knowledge of how they were transported. but this time, it is an entire building. He was quiet for a moment longer, then turned towards the man. "Did you lose anything in being transported here, or is everything accounted for?"
"I'm from another world. Or universe. Whatever you wanna call it. I was born in a place called Era, but I spent most of my life in another world called Earth." Alain explained. "What's this world called?"
Sophia would stare at the newspaper a significant amount of time, longer than one would expect to read the paper's contents, not recognizing the image of the destroyed city they'd first visited from the aerial view it was taken. "It's about what happened with us. Or should I say, us as in before you two showed up." She stammered a little as she realized she'd need to give them some form of answer.
'Why do journalists always put such big words in these things?!' She silently thought to herself as her tail fluffed up slightly.

"I see... So yourself, your establishment and everything within made it through to this world..." Caius mused aloud, thinking this made the deplacement almost seem deliberate. "How long ago did this happen?" he asked next.
With how long it took for Sophia to answer, Yeul was about to ask Sophia if there was anything wrong, when the answer came. "Why would anything like that be mentioned in a... pamphlet like this?" She asked, hesitating upon using the word 'pamphlet', not sure if that was the correct word for it, but not knowing what else it might be called. Seeing Sophia's tail fluff up, Yeul glanced at it again for a brief moment, then forced herself to look away.

"A week or so ago." the man replied, before looking over at Yeul. "It's a newspaper. You read it, and learn about what's happening all over the world." he explained.
"Although it's not as common any more, for a while where I come from, people would put news for people to read or listen to on stuff like this..." Sophia said as she looked back at the paper. "Think of this like a news-paper?" She joked, not realizing that it was the actual name.
Hearing the answers of Sophia and the man, Yeul hummed softly. "Peculiar. Even in the cities I have visited, Ihave never encountered anything like this. Reports of goings on were only ever broadcasted." She commented, then shrugged a little.
After the man turned to Yeul and explained what a newspaper was, Caius was quiet until the man and Yeul finished speaking, then coninued. "In that time, have you made any progress in finding a way back to your homeworld?"

"We haven't really tried. We have no idea where to start. Plus, the people in this world could do with automail." the man explained.
As he spoke, the door at the back opened again, and Joel stepped through. He was still missing his left arm, but was also now missing his old HF blade, now only having the Murasama. [color=003399]"It'll be a day or so before my automail is ready."[/color] he told the group.

"I understand what you mean, we don't really have things quite like this. We have lots of books, but news isn't really given out like this." Sophia replied. 'Especially back home...' She let out a small chuckle before continuing to try and read more things, flipping the pages to see what else was there.
"What is a... self I?" Sophia asked aloud after a short time, looking up from the paper.

"Oh, the Earth I came from was very different. But yeah, I do travel to other universes, but this is only the second time I've done so, and I probably won't be doing it again." Alain explained to Winona.
Caius thought briefly on how he could see selling items to a peaple who had never seen such things before being lucrative, but pushed these thoughts aside, deeming them unimportant."Do you know of any other buisinessess that have been transported to this world?" He asked, then paused. "I have heard mention of some manner of hub for bounty hunters?"
He didn't pay a great deal of attention to Joel exiting the back room save for casting a single glance, focusing on getting what information he could from the store owner.
"Excuse me?" Yeul asked as she looked to the section of the newspaper Sophia was reading, then back to her. She glanced towards Joel when he exited the backroom, then looked back to Sophia.

"Right here, the big letters here." Sophia said as she traced out the letters, s.e.l.f.i.e. "Self... I." She repeated. "Apparently a bunch of people are doing it here?"
<color=green>"Well it's just that, while me and my sisters can go back to our place and time, a lot of our group is stuck here from their home worlds. So we're looking for ways we can investigate a method to get them back. But anyways, tell me. What's different on your parallel Earth?"

"Well then, we'll just have to wait patiently." EMily said to Joel. "How much is it? I'll give you this share of the money that we have from the bounties plus the amount needed for the repairs. How much was it?"
