[hello, Port. on screen is a man who could pass for eighteen, but has that 'look' of someone far older. he could probably also give a few models envy in terms of his 'look', period.

he also seems mildly annoyed.]

While being told that there are monsters that roam in the dark is alarming, being told that it is 2012 is even more so.

I would like a better explanation than the one I was given.

...What if there isn't one?

I imagine anything would be better than that one.

[She looks down.]

...Sometimes I pretend it's a dream, and I'm just waiting to wake up.

But really, no one knows why we we're here, what we're doing here, how long we'll stay or if this is even real, though we go on with life as though it is, because what else is there to do?

...and how long have you been here?

Two months.

...And you still think of this place as a dream. It must be even stranger than I first thought.

Ah... no, not...really, I suppose. But sometimes I wish it was a dream. It seems the most terrible of things happen here as though they were commonplace, and it smells... the whole city reeks of sorrow.

I'm certain there are pamphlets provided with additional information. They're quite thorough.

Would you care to explain?

And where might I find one?

The Newcomer Community Centre tends to be the best bet. Although they have have some at the Newcomer Apartments as well.

[He hasn't checked.]

The Apartments, at least, were pointed out to me. That's a start.

What's told the a person when they arrive is just enough to calm them down.

[Or attempt to calm them down.]

Most proceed to the Apartments right afterward and may find more information when they get there.

There is, however, no information on a sure method to get home.

So I've heard. Has there ever been one?

[he doesn't sound happy about it, but he's not about to dismiss it.]

...The people Pulled here aren't always kind. There are many kinds of magic—some of them cruel. Some of the people who live here hate us—and with good reason. We don't belong here.

The monsters... they aren't just monsters. They're like... souls, trapped by the same force thats trapped us here. I've tried to bury them, and I can't. They simply disappear back into the Darkness to be reborn.

[She smiles apologetically.] F-forgive me. I'm not doing a very good job of explaining myself. It has it's good sides, too, this place. It's not all bad.

A sure method of leaving? No.

However, many people have left before. And there are a good number who have come back to confirm that they had indeed been sent back home.

[he shakes his head]

You're being more help than you think. For example, I wasn't told as to that nature of the Darkness.

My name is Genya Arikado. What is yours?

But nothing reliable. Hm.

No. Not even death. Many get brought back by the Core as well. Those who leave and return have no memory of how they managed to get away, or whether is had been purely on the whim of a power we know little about.

[now that's outright disturbing]

What information is there on the 'Core'?

It's been bringing people from all worlds and timelines for years, although only recently discovered a year ago underneath the field where Newcomers appear.

There had been an attempt to record data from it, but that attempt backfired. [It's been a really long time. He can't remember what happened exactly.] So now it's under government control.

No one knows yet what is truly is or what it can do. If it has any sentience or whether it's just a malfunction. There's not much that can be done to test it at the moment.

Hinamori. Hinamori Momo. [A smile.] Pleased to meet you... Mr. Arikado? [The question in her voice is meant to ask whether that's how he prefers to be addressed.]

[he nods, both in acknowledgement in her name and at her address]

Miss Hinamori. What else have you heard about the Darkness?

Government control.

[IT'S A GOOD THING HE WORKS FOR THE GOVERNMENT wait. wait. he frowns.]</small. Is that because the local government is guarding it?

The local government, yes. It used to be under the control of one of the companies here, but that didn't last long.
