[Hajime's voice is loud, exuberant and, honestly, pretty obnoxious.]

Hi, everyone!! I met a lot of you today, but to everyone I haven't met, I'm Hajime Ichinose and I was pulled here just like the rest of you by that giant grumpy ghost pirate guy! I wanna go out and find treasure like he told us to, but I don't know much about the ocean or sailing or treasure hunting. I am really good at interior decorating and papercraft, though, so if anyone has a ship that needs a makeover, you can totally call--well, write, I guess--me and let me know! Oh, and I'm a superhero, so I guess that's important to say too!

Let's all work together to find the treasure! I look forward to meeting more of you!

Hajime out!

Did you find your friends yet?

[collagehero]

Nope. I don't think they're here, but that's okay. They have important stuff to do on Earth. [But she's still going to miss them.] How are your friends?

[onlyswimfree]

I found a couple of them. And kicked one, by mistake, but they're alright.

[brief pause, as Haru considers something]

If you're by yourself, you can stay with us. If you want.

[collagehero]

That's so nice of you, Haruka! I wanna meet all of your friends!

[onlyswimfree]

...It's fine. None of us will mind.

Hajime?

How do you make this book talk?

[collagehero]

You talk to it! Like this!

[hiken]

...Ugh. That sounds dumb. Should I try it? Someone's gonna walk by and think I'm stupid for talkin' into a book.

[collagehero]

I heeeeeaaaar yoooooou.

[ Since he happens to be hanging out with his BFF, Haru, he quickly opens up communication with her! Hello, Hajime, meet Makoto!

Frankly, he's mostly surprised that Haru found a friend and is introducing him to someone. His little man is growing up! ]

It's nice to meet you, Hajime. I'm Makoto, a friend of Haru's from home.

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Hi, Makoto!! I'm glad he found you! He didn't really know where to look at first, but we figured it out together! Were you worried about him?

[Voice]

[notsokillerwhale]

Not really. Haru can take care of himself and I'd know a few places to look for him. He wanders off sometimes but always seems to turn up.

[ Yes, he was worried. But he was optimistically worried. ]

[collagehero]

Mmhm, mmhm. Like a cat! Does he show up if you put out food for him? [She bets he does.]

A superhero? Aren't you a little young for that?

[Voice]

[collagehero]

But magical girls in anime are usually younger than me and that counts as a superhero! But I am the youngest Gatchaman and PaiPai is always all "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, ROOKIE?!" when I do things, but he's cranky most of the time, especially if he's been drinking. So we just give him candy and let him ride on the Roomba.

[She says it with such conviction for something that sounds like a load of gibberish.]

[hitorabu]

There's a difference between anime and reality though, right? If reality had superheroes, why would anybody want to watch a fake version?

[A deliberately flawed theory that will hopefully get him more information than the fact that the girl is from a world that has anime.]

[Text]

[collagehero]

Well, I only told them we exist not too long ago, so I don't know how that's gonna turn out! Now that I'm here, everyone else is going to have to take over. PaiPai and Senpai are probably going to be super mad at me! ♥ ♥ ♥

I know the media was suuuuuper obsessed with it and it was all over the internet!

[Suddenly there's enthusiastic yelling, at least loud enough to match Hajime. If only it were possible to pose through journals, and then his greeting would be complete.] It's a pleasure to meet a fellow warrior of good! I am Knight Justice, dedicated fighter against Shushus.

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Nice ta meetcha, Knight Justice! That's a superheroic name for a superhero! I'm impressed!

Re: [Voice]

[exceptionallybright]

It's the name of my family. My father is also Knight Justice, and his father before him and - uh, after that too.

Are you also intending to uphold justice on the seas?

[collagehero]

Hmmmm...I dunno about justice...I wanna make friends and help people!

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Interior Decorating, oh yeah, that'll be useful. [Slightly sarcastic, yup. Mean marine is mean.]

[Voice]

[collagehero]

Totally useful! If the ship is drab and gloomy, everyone is gonna feel drab and gloomy, too! [If she noticed the sarcasm, she's certainly acting like it.]

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

What's wrong with feeling drab and gloomy?

[No, he's serious. Smoker is not the right person for this discussion.]

[collagehero]

Absolutely no good! If you wanna enjoy life and make the most of it, you need color and excitement!
