He looked out of place, on the empty suburban street. He looked up toward the sun, and it crossed his mind that he wasn't aware of which way he was headed. Was school in still, making it mid-morning? Or had school let out and the streets were just unusually empty?
All he could be sure of was his watch was suddenly useless, the Switch in his hand wouldn't open another gate, and the sun was half-way towards or past noon. The weather was mild, and there was a cool breeze crossways, rolling across rooftops, pushing the barely-shaped bleach blond across the young man's face.
Visual Kei or Jrock would best describe the kind of Scene he'd fit in, so his presence in suburbs was... awkward. That awkwardness was amplified for the supernaturally sensitive, because he was a walking vessel of Dark Magic. He walked with his eyes lowered, along a suburban street, flicking the inert silver Astro Switch.

Dark magic had been sensed nearby, and Oliver had beamed himself down from the Time Shadow to find the source. Fortunately, he didn't have to look far. He had been beamed down right behind it.

Short on ESP, the young man didn't turn around. He wasn't really any good at the whole reading magical atmosphere anyway. He kept walking, stopping before a cross street, flicking that switch absently. Japanese suburbs had always made him remember how empty his was... Like depression, almost. He didn't dwell on it, just kept walking. He'd escape the monotony eventually.

Oliver continued to follow this strange man, reaching out to touch his shoulder.

The hand touched his shoulder, a simple gesture. Meant to get his attention. Reflex kicked in before he thought, and he reached up and back, grabbing at the other man's wrist. If he could get his hand on the man, he'd drag him forward and pull til the man was against his back, using his shoulder and back as a lever to turn his "assailant's" weight into momentum towards the ground. A simple hip toss.

It worked. Oliver was tossed towards the ground and hit it with a light "crunch". He was forced to cling onto a lamppost to get up.

Rapid observation covered that he was in theory a normal human, and winded from the toss. He jumped back for safety anyway, and didn't let his guard down, but he didn't transform, either. He considered that a fair precaution, if there ever was one. He looked the man over, checking his posture for further aggression.

"You...have Dark Magic." Oliver panted. "Why are you" a little pause for breath "here?"

He shifted to a more casual stance. The man was too winded right this second to be a threat.
"I flicked this switch, and this is where I came out, about four streets back that way."
He gestured in the direction he came from, with the switch in his hand. He held it up, showing it in full. It was a generic variant, resembling one of the Fourze switches. No number on the front. He couldn't tell you who put it on his pillow even if he wanted to.

"I've seen that before." Oliver panted. "There was something like that on the news."

He looked over, considering it. Then back at the man. He was confused.
"Really? Want it? Doesn't do anything."
He shrugged. Maybe this one was tied to HIS universe's Cosmic Energy. He didn't know how that worked, nor did it matter anyway. He was here and was promised purpose.

"Doesn't it?" Oliver raised an eyebrow. "What would it normally do?"

"Dunno. Only thing it did for me was open a shiny, water-like silver doorway. To here."
He sort of shrugged, then lowered his arm to his side again. Not like it mattered, really. He could toss it from down here, too, if he had to, straight at this guy. That should buy him the half second to start transforming, if he had to. Maybe.
"Sound normal?"

It wouldn't sound normal to anyone, but then again, Oliver was a wizard. "Depends. Is it magic or tech?"

"Dunno." He shrugged a bit, mask over his mouth hiding that he couldn't really emote with his face anyway. He could fake voice tone, at least. He didn't even feel a reflex to shrug. It was something he was still training himself to do. Emoting is hard with no emotions to speak of.
