[Video] Introduction

[randallboggs]

[On the screen is what looks like a huge, purple, human-sized lizard; gecko-like but with eight legs and a sort of crest on his head. But he can communicate well enough, it seems. He sounds a little harried.]

Uhhh, hey, I saw the woman with the spiel and all but I think I took a wrong door somewhere and...

This isn't right. I shouldn't be here. I have work to do, you know? There are monsters counting on me so... uh... How do I get back to the factory?

[He did try a few doors but... well, that didn't go so well. Also open to action if you want to be behind one of those random doors!]

... This unit wishes it were that easy to get out of here, but unfortunately, it is fairly certain that escape would not be as easy as finding a door...

[randallboggs]

If there's a doorway in, somewhere there must be a doorway out.

[robodorable]

This unit didn't wake up in a 'doorway', but... Some kind of coffin thing.

[randallboggs]

With water?

Yeah, I was there too. But you do have doors, right?

[thornmage]

There's no escaping.

[randallboggs]

Greeeat.... That's not very helpful.

Re: video HI IM BACK

[thornmage]

It answers your question.

[HELPING]

video <3

[randallboggs]

It answers a question.

Still not very helpful.

[But, hey, to him you're the most 'normal' face he's seen so far.]

[youfool]

According to common consensus, you are, in a sense, at the factory already! Like you never left. Welcome to Genessia, Mr...

[What makes Ted bashfully trail off isn't his monstrous appearance, but his indecency. He blushes and looks away from the communicator.]

Er, ah, not feeling too drafty, aheh, are you?

Video

[randallboggs]

Drafty? Why?

I mean it is kind of chilly here, I guess...

[He's certainly not thinking about lack of clothes. Most monsters rarely wore any.]

Re: Video -> Private

[youfool]

[Kind of? Well, eighteen degrees Celsius might not be so bad if whatever he was grew up in the north. Ted guesses his biology would be like a lizard's: ecothermic. In which case he'd be looking for a hole to sleep in.

In terms of modesty, however, Ted guesses nothing at all would be his cultural standard. It still makes him nervous, eyes firmly anywhere else but his phone.]

It's just, ah...

[Private it is]

You don't appear to be wearing...anything.

Private

[randallboggs]

[Randall just stares at the screen for a long unblinking moment before he replies.]

Your point?

[Wait.]

I didn't see any signs about hardhats being required.

[Rapunzel is going to just stare for the longest time. Give her a long time before she comes up with this...]

You kind of look like my friend Pascal except much bigger and purple... and you can talk. [A pause.]

I mean you are different but you kind of remind me of him a little. But as for getting home, that's impossible right now as far as I know.

video;

[randallboggs]

I don't know anyone named Pascal.

... Why can't he talk?

video;

[ivegotadream]

He just never has, I assume it's because in my world animals cannot talk.

[randallboggs]

So he's like a pet? You don't think I'm a pet, do you?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ An alien from his galaxy, maybe? A species he doesn't know? There are a whole lot of species in the galaxy. Sure looks like one that would fit right in at home. ]

I'm sorry, I can't tell you how to return home, we have no control over who is brought here or returned. If there's anything else I'll be happy to answer your questions, though. I'm Cassian Andor, Guardian of Attleton.

[randallboggs]

What are you guarding exactly?

[captain_by_the_book]

I'm in charge of law enforcement in Attleton. Every town here has an elected Guardian. As a new arrival you are probably in Genessia City. That makes David Haller your Guardian.

[Whatever his species is, it isn't one that Padmé is familiar with. He could well belong to her galaxy though, given the diversity of it. Of course she doesn't understand the whole door comment, thinking that perhaps he was taken mid-step going from one room to room.]

Many of us shouldn't be here. I'm afraid that what you have been told does appear to be true though. There is no easy way to return.

video

[randallboggs]

So I just have to keep searching.

[He thinks there must be at least one door here somewhere that'll lead him back.]

video

[democratically]

I suppose you can if you want to. I can't say one way or another whether you will find the answer, but it is your choice. You are only given a month at the residence they give you. Although if you find a way to depart, I suppose that will not matter.

[Oh, ey, another nonhumanoid buddy. Kay is always interested in meeting more of those.]

Sorry but you are now stuck here with the rest of us. If it's of any consolation, the time in your homeworld freezes while you are here, so you won't be missing work.

Did you say monsters?

[Video]

[randallboggs]

That's.... good to know.

[He looks a bit shifty before he hears the last question, tilting his head.]

What of it?

[Video]

[k2so]

It's a small consolation but it helps.

[He wasn't happy either when he came to this world, so he gets the frustration.]

Most of them live in Everglade or Genessia. You could check if you know anybody in that city.
