Madams et Messieurs,

[Alabaster skin, waving blonde hair, eyes very blue. The face on the monitor is finely drawn, even beautiful, but looks ill at ease.]

I am used to addressing people, but not using this new invention. Please excuse me. I realize that I am a newcomer here, and that I am to make myself known using this… thing. I was baffled when I found it. I’ve never smoked in my life.

At any rate, the time has come for me to discover what I can about myself and my new surroundings. If I may glean some knowledge that I may take back to my own home, I shall not consider myself ill-used in any way. Consider me a pupil, kind people.

I have logging, and have been offered work. What employment I shall accept still remains to be seen. However, the food that has been left to me is far too much for one person. Wasting it would be obscene. I would like to find a way that it can be distributed among those who need it more than I, but I’m not sure how to do so.

If anyone can offer assistance, please contact me. I’m positive I will learn how to receive your message on this device by the time you have finished.

[The NV jostles, but does not turn off. Enjorlas is seen for a moment muttering to himself.]

Now, how to send this… What was it I was told… the button on the…

[And the feed clicks off.]

It was... interesting to meet you. Perhaps our paths will cross again.

[madvaporskillz]

Anyone's paths might, however yadder they might go. More so, with with the Core of this place acting as it does.

I shan't keep you longer, though.

[antinouswild]

Wait! If you please!

The core? I read something about that in the literature I was given, but I did not understand.

[madvaporskillz]

If you insist.

How can a humble Cat help best? There's quite a great deal to the Core, you see.

[antinouswild]

[Cat? Surely he hears wrong. He can't be talking to a cat, even in a place like this. It's just too strange.]

What do you know about it?

[madvaporskillz]

What any Newcomer knows. It's really very simple.

[antinouswild]

I apologize. I'm new here myself and it seems you know a fair bit more than me.

Tell me about the core, if you please.

[madvaporskillz]

It won't let you leave. Didn't anyone mention the Pull?

[antinouswild]

I was told about a pull but... It didn't make any sense.

[madvaporskillz]

You'll feel it if you try to go too far.

[antinouswild]

It's an island. You mean... into the ocean?

[madvaporskillz]

Or if you try swimming.

[antinouswild]

Uh, I don't intend to do that... A boat perhaps?

[madvaporskillz]

If you had one.

[antinouswild]

I do not. Does anyone here?

[madvaporskillz]

I wouldn't know.

[antinouswild]

Well, I appreciate your effort...

[madvaporskillz]

You're quite welcome.
