Mikoto only rarely visits the Nexus. Once, those visits had been to travel from one reality to another, exploring, trying to find a world she could feel at home on. That had changed with a portal that had dropped a sopping wet and very-nearly-dead wizard on her.
Now, her trips are more often restricted to the Nexus Mall for supplies, or the Nexus Library to research subjects in her search for a cure for her oldest brother. She's en route from the former to the latter when the sounds of yelling, slightly distorted, alert her to the appearance of a new portal nearby. Curiosity prompts her to investigate.
The portal appears, even on first glance, to be one of the more unusual ones. It has some sort of curtain hanging in it, but attempts to touch the fabric are blocked as if some barrier prevents actually passing through the portal. Mikoto retrieves scanning equipment from her pocket as she decides to analyze the energy patterns of this particular rift to see if it was strange in any other ways.
She can hear laughter on the other side, and someone yelling "Come on, you can do better than that!" There was a bit of an echo, and she wonders if the other side of the portal might be in a cavern or large stone room. She's glancing over the scan results, confirming that the portal is one-way only...
Which is when someone lands on her.
