holy guacamole it's foggy nelson!

 "Excuse me." Bumped past someone. What? He's preoccupied with trying to find out where he is exactly. The seats at the forum seem like a good place to crash. This is what he gets for venturing out to a fancy schmancy coffee shop that Marci picked out. The door should have lead to the bathroom. 

Should have.

"You ever feel like you're just really, really lost?"

I prefer Samus if we're being casual, Hunter Aran if you're addressing me in a professional capacity.

She has very definite preferences, but he's asking nicely so she won't be bothered by explaining them.

The first time I arrived here, it was because of an engineered accident with a teleporter. Someone tried to kill me, and it didn't take. Lucky for me, less so for them.

"Well uh," he clears is throat and lifts an eyebrow. "Are we casual?" It's a roguish gesture but Foggy's feeling daring and awkward all at once. So of course he's going to be himself.

"Woah. Did they like--" his hands rush together then come apart complete with an explosion noise.. Still trying to grasp the mechanics. Plus exploding people! Can there be that?

[onemorebounty]

You haven't said anything about offering me a bounty, so yes, I'd say we're casual.

*She has no idea what other interpretation of that word might merit a roguish eyebrow. She's not sure what he's asking with that latter question, composed mostly of gestures as it is. She'll give it her best guess.*

They set the destination coordinates for an impossible nowhere, hoping that I would simply be lost to nonexistence. Instead, I ended up here, a sort of point-of-least-resistance.

"I don't have a bounty for you, no... But if I did, you'd be the very first person I turn to." Because she seems way more attractive and approachable than Dog the Bounty Hunter. Never mind that he's an reality TV celebrity and sports a hideous mullet. Foggy smiles wide at Samus.

"That's crazy. Well, I'm glad that whatever brought me here did and didn't uh redirect me to an impossible nowhere." Impossible Nowhere would be a great band name.

Ah, but what credentials does a bounty hunter need in your facet, and under what limits are they expected to work? I would need to know these things before I could consider the job.

*Foggy only thinks Samus is more approachable because he's never seen her "collect a bounty" into the form of a smoldering crater. The lack of mullet is admittedly an advantage.*

Yes, taking a wrong turn through a portal is generally much preferable to being stupidly lucky after a teleporter accident.

[avakaido]

"Limits? Well, you can't kill people. That's murder. New York is more of a 'wanted alive or alive' kind of a state. I've never employed a bounty hunter before so this is going to require more research on my end." But if it means having an excuse to ring up Samus this is an investment of time.

Franklin "Foggy" Percy Nelson. Stop.

"You guys don't do any kind of weird initiation or anything do you? No secret handshakes or hazing?"

[onemorebounty]

I can do live capture. What about limits on vehicle operation, armament, collateral damage?

*She'd have an easier time catching people with her ship providing close air support, but the city of New York might not appreciate an alien spacecraft making strafing runs to bring in a bail-jumper. His question gets a smirk in answer.*

You're here. Keeping your sanity is generally hazing enough.
