Marvels of Steam
There's an abrupt shift in reality, and the Exiles find themselves... well, not in Kansas anymore.

In all times previous to this, the air has been fresher than that of the world they know. This one... well, it may be fresher, but there's a very distinct tang of faint coal dust in the air. The colors are muted, mostly tans and browns... except the ones that aren't. the women walking by in the distance are examplary of the era when more complex dyes and dye mixing was being discovered, the women in extremely opulent finery in many cases, the wealthy among them in a wash of bright, vivid greens and reds and blues and patterns, and even their maids in complex dress compared to the ages of simplicity and necessity they've left behind. The men are all in hats, shirts and jackets.

Everywhere, there's signs of the city being powered by a mix of old style gaslights, steam power, clockwork and electricity, sometimes with little rhyme or reason.

Over it all, a single craft, the size of a city block and being supported by numerous dirigible balloons hovers, casting a shadow over all of what could be recognized by long term residents as some ancient and steam powered version of New York City.

Iason is the first to speak. "I... do not recognize this as similar to anything from Earth's history."

	A few moments later the figure of Tony Stark comes walking across the deck of the airship. "I heard there were people out here to see me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Iason nods. "Thank you for your expedience, Mr. Stark. I believe it should be obvious already that we don't fit in here. How familiar are you with theories of alternate dimensions?" Might as well be frank. Its clear they aren't locals. He's also noticed an awful lot of non-lethal weaponry among the soldiers, which is usually a good sign they're dealing with one of the good guys.

	"...You know, the goggles really suit you," Vernique can't help but say. "It's hard to articulate how they bring the outfit together, but they definitely do something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Theoretically it's possible, but I take it with you all being here it's not just a theory," Tony said. He took a moment to size up each one of them. Big woman with the big sword. Kind of scary and hot at the same time. The other one was just plain hot.

He smiled at her at the compliment. "Thank you. It's hard to accessorize at times."

"You all have me at a disadvantage seeing how you know me, then again it's hard not to know who I am, but I don't know any of you."

	"Not just a theory, no, though our presence here is a long story. My name is Iason. I'll allow the others to make their own introductions, though we do not have a great deal of time for social niceties. We come bearing some critical news, though I would prefer to discuss this in as secure a surroundings as possible." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eli Paravich, Mr. Stark." Eli says, trying to equate this man with the man he'd met at the start of their journey. Somehow...they just didn't match. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
