[ooc: Not set immediately after they escaped Agrabah, but while helpful chores may still need to be done.]

[A whole debate happens before Adrien ever actually talks to them on the mirrors. Because he's not about to deal with the strangest situation he's ever been in (and that's saying something) without trying to figure out what approach to take.]

[At first he's not sure the situation really is what the whispers said it was - after all, plenty of akumatized villains had the ability to draw people into little pocket dimensions or realms or alter reality around people. It's only after testing his surroundings and poking around a little that he's satisfied with reality actually maybe possibly being real.]

[Then there's the mirror. Adrien listens to it first, hears voices of people organizing camp, talking about helping injured people. He tries to glean enough to at least get a vague sense of what's going on with whoever's nearby and figure out if they're hostile.]

[Then comes the debate: he wants to rush in as Chat Noir - because that's his first instinct when people apparently are hurt and talking about an attack. Plagg, his own personal Greek chorus, disagrees because the situation is so different from home. There is a bunch of furious hissing back and forth, largely because they both have no idea what the hell's going on.]

[Ultimately, Adrien is convinced he can always run off and change later, so when he finally gets on the mirror, Plagg safely tucked away, it's as himself.]

[Because he can help as himself, can't he? Adrien Agreste is not someone that wades into danger when he's always running off to transform so he can come back as Chat Noir. But this is a really odd situation he's having trouble even believing is real.]

[So he tries, even if it feels wrong to have no plan to run off to become Chat Noir as soon as he can get away. Like showing up to a black tie event in a t-shirt because he had the wrong idea about the dress code.]

Uh. Hi? [A little, confused wave of his fingers.] I'm Adrien. Adrien Agreste. I just got here? Wherever here is.

[He's definitely young. Baby-faced. He only turned fourteen a short time ago. He sounds unsure at first, pensive.]

I have no idea where I am, or what's going on, or if any of this is even real, but...

[His voice takes on far more resolve, the way it does when he's helping usher classmates and other civilians away from akuma villain attacks, barring doors and windows and giving them directions when they're too scared to move otherwise, before running off to transform and help Ladybug fight after they're safe.]

What can I do to help? I heard people talking on the mirror about an attack, saying that some people were hurt. I don't know how to do any first aid, but I can run errands. Get water, help find things that can be used for bandages, things like that. I just need someone to tell me what needs to be done.
