Sam shook the offered hand, still with the friendly smile. It was always a bonus when people didn't glare dubiously when a stranger said hello. He personally suspected it was a side effect of this weird city, it made people more open to talking.
"This might sound really weird, but did you find yourself brought here suddenly, maybe from some place else entirely?"
There was still the chance that by 'new here' the man meant he had just moved to the city to work as an actor or something, but Sam was going to take the chance that he was the same as so many others that had come and gone over the time he'd been here.
"Just that, if you are, you kinda wouldn't be the only one," he smirked slightly. "Far from it actually."
