[ The screen would flick on, and man of Japanese origin would pop on screen, sitting at a desk that may look familiar to some. ]
Hey, this is Ryotaro Dojima, part of the Raiders of the Lost Arts.
[Ignore that Strabby with a pink bow walking around in the background behind him... ]
I've been here for a few months now, and I've noticed a few patterns talking to folks about where and when they're all from. Call me curious, but I'm interested in actually getting info of this, making a record-- a census, I guess.
So-- If you guys wouldn't mind telling me; where are you from-- town, country, planet even if you can, and what year?
If you don't feel comfortable posting your information publicly, feel free to private message me.
[ A pause as he thought, before continuing. ]
--To be fair, I can provide my own. I'm from a small rural town in Japan, Inaba, on the planet Earth. It was 2012 when I arrived here.
--Ah, one last thing. If you remember where someone who was here before but vanished is from, I'll take that info too.
[ Reaching to turn off the phone as he spoke-- ]
Dojima out.

[ He did mean that. Odd to think of it, but had this guy become something of a drinking buddy during his 'work', listening in at pubs? ]
Mid 2070s... I'd be over a 100 in your world, if I lived that long.
[ So was he actually the older one, chronologically? It was an odd thought. ]
...Guess it was that obvious, but yeah. I noticed that while there are one offs individuals who're dragged here from their worlds, there's some that all seem to know one another.
[ And... he'd lower his voice a little. ]
...Along with my teenage nephew suddenly showing up and then vanishing during that turtle egg mess. My current working theory is the initial pull is random, but once someone is here from one world, there's a higher chance of others from the same following.

[Stirring up trouble with the Paladins, playing ghost- helping steal a ship while working his way up to being someone dependable to someone he wanted to keep an eye on.
Very busy.]
Speaking of- Colleague of mine from home was around here for a month or so. Same year, also Earth- Dorado, Mexico. [Wasn't difficult to guess a base of operations with how fond Sombra was of a certain gang after all.]
It's a good enough guess of a pattern, an does look like it could be at least part of it.

[ Ah, alright-- He wouldn't ask a name, just make a note of 'colleague of Reaper'... though, Mexico, hadn't he helped a young woman who had a distinct spanish accident? ]
--Mind if I ask another question or two about your time period?
And... Thanks. I feel pretty out of my element here, but canvasing and gathering info is at least one thing I can do. Don't worry, I'll keep your name to my private records if you'd prefer.

[Meanwhile he'd just been getting used to life on something smaller and speedy- really, could have been so much worse. Was a good enough vessel for the small number of a group.
He hummed.]
Don't mind at all.
Appreciate that, and don't think so little of the ability. Never know when the know how of it will come in handy for something more.
