It had been a rainy afternoon, when he had walked along the main street of North Salem, NY. A sudden gush of wind threw a splatter of raindrops into his face, as well as a colorful piece of paper under his foot. Normally he'd not have bothered much, he just picked it up to throw it away in a dust bin. But something had caught his eye. It wasn't the stereotypical depiction of a scantily clad girl on a tropical beach, or the large letters screaming: no hidden costs, just play now. It looked fairly similar to many of those fliers, probably promising much more than they could ever keep. Which he couldn't really judge, as it was covered in japanese symbols. No, it was something ... the eyes of the girl, she was winking at him. Probably just a cheap holographic effect, he thought at first. But even when he kept the paper completely still, he could see it. It wasn't one of those cheap holographs which would change a picture dependent on the angle you were looking at.<br/><br/>Taking it back to school, he brought it into the lab, getting some of the older students involved into his research. In the end, they even showed it to Prof. Xavier, when they found out, it was a mago-technological effect that definitely didn't come from this dimension. After some serious deliberation, it was decided, that this was probably some trans-dimensional kind of spam, that shouldn't even be in this dimension. Still it was interesting enough, that the professor allowed him, to participate in the raffle, musing that it actually might come close to cheating having him being the one to do so. Still, he had found the lot, so he should give it a try.<br/><br/>And thus is was not that much of a surprise, when the answer arrived, that he was the fortunate winner of a week of holiday (all expenses paid). The time till the date of departure flew by, and finally the day arrived. Through an experimental trans-dimensional injection procedure he was transferred to Tokyo university on a parallel dimension, from where the raffle had originated. And from there, everything had gone rather quickly. Carrying only his large backpack, he had followed a rather small group of chatty youngsters, many of them clad in a rather confusing way, like anime or car girls and such. He could only guess them to be otaku or cosplayers, but given the large colorful sign, he was on the right track.<br/><br/>The portal that had formed in front of them had been completely different from the way he had come here. And when they had entered, it quickly got obvious that this portal was everything but stable. Only once he stepped in, as the last of the group, it seemed to focus a tad more. What followed was a rather swift and straightforward slide on a skid, that ended with him standing a few feet away from that japanese group. What was a tad perplexing though, was that all except him looked a bit ... green around the nose. He would have offered his help, but before he could, a very friendly and equaly scantly clad guide ushered him along. Shouldering his backpack, he headed off, slowly following the signs towards... well he wasn't sure yet, but would find out where they led, wouldn't he?
