[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!]

Comments

[youfool]

Haha, of course I do! Goodness, if I delegated such things it'd be too boring to bear, let alone speak of.

[randallboggs]

I should find a more regular job, if I'm really stuck here.

[youfool]

[That's an odd response. So he was asking for suggestions, not just to know Ted better. That's...mm.]

Your necklace can hint a start. What color is it?

[So long as it's anything but blue.]

[randallboggs]

[He's certainly making it more about himself. He opens the small box he'd arrived with and holds up the necklace. The stone is indeed mostly coloured blue although there are a smattering of green and yellow flecks.]

What? This thing?

[youfool]

No, the necklace on your tail. Yes that one!

[A joke to relieve from the revelation. So he belonged in Everglade, eh? More's the pity. Well, it's only a recommendation. There are others.]

Mm, then again, that, at best, only signifies where the world thinks you'd be comfortable. Genessia City, where you are now, is far and away the best one. None of its workings confound you, I hope? As for a place to work, we actually do have a process that gives you several suggestions based on your experience, interests, and aptitudes. If you'll follow my directions on your phone...

[If Randall's obedient, Ted would direct him to Genessia's newish employment page.The CPU seemed to have some ideas.]

Of course, you should probably be more forthcoming with that than you've been with me.

[randallboggs]

So it's all about information, is it?

[He does take a look at the page with some interest.]

What else do you think this necklace is telling about me?

[youfool]

[Oh no. Has all this focus upon Randall's person prompted egotism? Say it isn't so!]

Aheh, I don't think it says anything about you at all, just what the world thinks of where you might live most peaceably. It's not a perfect guesser, but Genessia tries its best.

[It also says where he could make subarchways, but he hates those so that's not being shared any time soon.]

Well, will you be needing any further assistance? You seem like one so eager to get to work. Hah, would that you eagerly wanted anything else!
