[A man appears on the network, looking a little wide-eyed and confused.]

Uhh... I... Hello?

There seems to be a mistake and I...

[He glances around nervously.]

I think I need some help.

"Hello!" Ted again, Walmart greeter of the world.

"Well then, I think I might be able to grant it. What sort of help are you after, exactly?"

[bodhi_rook]

I don't really know where I am. I mean, I was told and I have this information but... this doesn't make sense. It said I was kidnapped. How did I get here exactly?

[inquisitor_lavellan]

[Have an... elf. Wearing... armor. And there's a shield, huge and spiky, visible over her shoulders.]

First time being dropped somewhere new?

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

[He's used to strange aliens so her appearance doesn't really bother him, even if it is different to what he's seen before.]

I've been to other planets before. This sort of kidnapping is new.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Yeah, same.

[Alley's not sure if the Fade counts as another planet, but it's definitely... an experience.]

We all seem to be stuck here, though.

[bodhi_rook]

Yeah... Um.

So, we're just supposed to accept it and live our lives?

[inquisitor_lavellan]

I guess so. I've been looking for a way out of here, but no luck so far.

I know others have looked, too. And are probably still looking.

[bodhi_rook]

How long have you been here?

[inquisitor_lavellan]

About four and a half months.

[Nope, she's not happy about it.]

[bodhi_rook]

You have a name?

[inquisitor_lavellan]

I might.

[Oh come on, how's she supposed to answer that any other way? Oh, fine.]

The name's Alley.

[shy_mage]

C-Can I help?

[He really wasn't sure if he could because he didn't say what kind of help he needed, but he wanted to try.]

[bodhi_rook]

[XD]

I'm Bodhi. Bodhi Rook.

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

Uh, maybe? Do you know anything about this place or how we were brought here?

[Video]

[shy_mage]

I-I don't know how or why we were b-brought here, but... but...

I know a l-little about this place. What... What do you want to know?

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

I just got here so I don't know much. I only know what that welcome hologram told me.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

O-Oh... Umm...

[He fidgeted, looking down at his hands. Without any particular direction, he wasn't sure what to start with.]

There's... There's several cities. A-And they're different. Ah. F-Fayren is nice and pretty. B-But Everglade is dangerous and scary.

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

So where I am is like some central waypoint? Is there a transport to these other cities?

[Video]

[shy_mage]

S-Something like that. I-I heard there's trains, b-but I've never taken one. I-I'm not sure if there's much else.

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

Okay, thanks for the information.

What's your name?

[Video]

[shy_mage]

O-Oh... Oh! S-Sorry, I'm Bracken.

Wh-Who are you?

[Video]

[bodhi_rook]

I'm Bodhi.

[inquisitor_lavellan]

I'd make Josie happy and say 'pleased to meet you', but that feels pretty hollow when we're all here against our wills.

What did you need help with, anyway? Just getting your bearings?

Video

[wizard_redfive]

[The video feed shows a young girl in her early teens in front of a stack of books.]

Yeah? What kind of help?

Video

[bodhi_rook]

Just... more information. How did I get here? What am I supposed to do?
