As a counter-example, I propose Upon a Fiery Steed, in which Jack's first action, pretty much, is... to get into a prank war with Duo Maxwell. He gets along much better with the Gundam Wing cast, possibly because they're a much more recognizable situation for him -- a regular military, technology he can recognize, all around not too far outside his comfort zone the way something like, say, Bleach, might be. Or a teenage dragon, in one of her stories.
For a contrast from another author, take a look at The Dragon King's Temple, which tosses him up against the Avatar cast, spirits, and all-around weird. He's a little weirded out, but "It was the Ancients. They did weird stuff." He doesn't seem to have much trouble accepting it.
