[Jacob Stone comes from a world of both smartphones and magic (and sometimes those smartphones had magic in them), so he isn't entirely unfamiliar with this. The Omni is a little awkward at first to deal with, but he's managing.

What he isn't managing, is the rattlesnake that seems intent on curling around his shoulders in a cozy fashion.]

Hi. My name is Jacob Stone, I just got here, so there's a lotta new things I ain't quite got the hang of yet.

Uh.

So.

So can y'all tell me if there's an incantation or something to get rid of--of whatever this little critter is?

[The snake looks just as grumpy as he does, for a moment, and hisses at him. He looks mildly offended at the gesture, or maybe the snake might have said something rude.]

I'm not--I don't use magic, I mean, but this thing just sort of appeared outta nowhere and now it won't go. I didn't mean to summon it! But I guess I did and now I don't know how t'make it go away.

[He's just...a little stressed. Being a Librarian whose job it is to find magical artifacts and hide them from the world and as a rule doesn't use magic because he's terrified of it is now in a world absolutely steeped in it, and he just accidentally summoned a smoky creature right out of his chest.

It's fine. He's fine?]

Right. Well, that actually is a good thing, I guess...more than kinda weird, though, I ain't exactly used to...uh. Snakes bein' cell phones or somethin'...

I'd wonder what kinda weird-ass place you came from if it was the norm.

[bookbrawler]

A weird-ass world. Listen, I didn't even know any of this magic stuff existed up until a few years ago, and now I'm used to it, but yeah.

[hearuthinking]

Didn't know monsters existed until pretty recently. Can't say I'm used to it, but... it's a thing.
