+1 confused teenage boy
If anyone's around the plaza area, they'll probably bump into Djem; he's not exactly anything extraordinary, but he is new. At a first glance, he's a tall, sightly lanky teenage boy with a level of scruffiness that's been finely tuned over the years to annoy his parents. He has no idea where he is, but as far as he can tell, he's certainly not in Kansas anymore.
Well, California technically, but the point's still there.
If he was to ask a question, it would probably be the usual; 'where am I? where is this place? am I dreaming?' but for the time being, he's curious enough to begin to wander, taking a note of where he first found himself and which door apparently leads back to his room.
(ooc: hey all - Sophie/Grace mun here, with a new OC offering; this is Djem, he's 18 and is your usual run-of-the-mill teenaged nerd who also happens to be completely Deaf (he's not oral and isn't great at lip reading, but is fluent in ASL). I look forward to flinging him head first into this place :) )

Jim stops signing, eyebrows furrowing for a moment. 2016? How could this kid know about him hundreds of years before he exists? Okay, sure, Kirk's been to 2015 New York City before, but he'd managed to keep himself off the news at the time.
Wow. The Nexus really does bring all kinds.
I'm guessing alternate reality? I've run into those before. Sorry. I'm from a while in the future yet, so it seems weird you'd know me. But, thank you.
For being a fan, Jim means.

Yeah, he's gonna have to rein it in. Just a little.
Must be - and you're welcome.
Be cool, be cool. I guess technically I only know of you, so it's not as weird? - and with a pause - How long have you been here?

What little of it there is, anyway. Side effect of being a Type A personality who buries themselves in work.
So, if you know of me, was your version a military guy or what? I can't imagine what I'd be doing if I wasn't in space.
Sorry for taking so long!
He frowns a little at the question; The version I know is still Captain of the Enterprise, still in space and everything.
How do you say 'I haven't seen your latest movie, but last I checked you were fighting Khan!' without sounding like an idiot or without making everything even more confusing? Answer; Djem has no idea.
No worries i was buried in work this week
Okay so that's....weird. Jim's pretty sure space travel is still in its infancy in the 2000s. Starting to look like Djem's Earth is much different than his own.
Really? Good. That's where any version of me belongs.
He laughs a little at that. He couldn't imagine himself anywhere else.
