[Bruce had been in a hurry. Being chased by the United States military would do that to you, you see. The sudden change of scenery, however, had been enough to prompt an abrupt stop. I mean, one second you're charging through some lady's underwear and the next you're standing in the middle of a cell? That's a little disconcerting. Bruce is almost absolutely positive he hadn't changed. He wasn't missing any time. Nothing had happened to provoke it.
So....what happened?
He dropped his pack on the bed and set about giving the room a good once over. The sounds of the pursuing soldiers had died, so he figured he had the time. The journal is the last thing he picks up and he thumbs through it, getting a feel for how it works. Reading entries, listening to them. The mechanics of the book are astounding. After a moment or two more, he decides to give it a try himself. The audio cuts in and out briefly as he experiments and then finally:]
Hello?

One might call that quite the understatement, I think... There are some things you should be warned of before you endanger yourself or others. You should not attempt to climb the walls that mark the boundaries of this place. To do so is to die, and the most unpleasant aspect of that is that you will be brought back to life. There will be temporary memory loss when you return, but it is not a pleasant affair.
[A beat. She knows what she's talking about, man. She's died twice already. This shit does not get more enjoyable with time.]
You should also know that there are non-humans here at the Keep... others that have been taken from their worlds the same as you have. It can prove alarming if you are not prepared...

I've seen some strange things. So it wouldn't have been too surprising. But thank you for the heads up.

Taking his remark at face value, she switches her own feed to video. Ears pricked forward and eyes bright and alert, Bruce will find himself looking at a gryphon. Sure, it might just look like a raptor with ears, but wouldn't that be weird enough? But, he'd likely see at least a little bit more of her than just her head if he really tried.]
I think it best to warn others before they encounter it first hand...
[Audio]
You weren't kidding, were you?
[Not that he thought she wasn't being serious. But what else was he supposed to say?]

Not in the very least.
