001-[Action/Video] John: Introduce yourself.....

[theheirofbreath]

[Hey, know what this city needs?

Well, neither do I. But it's probably not yet another confused newbie. Which is unfortunate, because that's what just showed up. He was given the quickie explanation, but let's face it, that raises more questions than it does answers. He was also given a room, and residents of the Ermis suites can find a boy wandering around and staring at the various room numbers until he finds his. 413, if you're curious. Pretty much everything about him screams 'nooooob.' So feel free to bother him.

Once he gets to his room, he'll be bothering all of you anyway.   He has way too many questions right now, and he's hoping to get answers to a few of them. The video feed clicks on, and anyone watching is greeted with a hopeful smile.]

Oh, neat! It does video too!

[He gives everyone a hesitant wave.]

Um... Hi!

I'm John...

[He's just now realizing how awkward introducing yourself becomes when you don't know you at all. This  is already the most confusing thing ever. Maybe. Unless he's already seen the most confusing thing ever. It's not like he'd remember it if he did. Yeah, this place is starting to give him a headache. But he'll worry about all of that later. For now, he just gives the camera an embarrassed smile and continues.]

Soo... has anyone else noticed that the explanation they give you when you get here doesn't actually explain a whole lot? Would anyone mind answering a couple of questions? Like about our memories and those thingies we're supposed to find?

That sucks. But I'm sure you'll remember more soon. I've heard that the anemoi gems aren't too hard to find. One guy even just offered me one.

[Even memory loss is not a cure for hopeless optimism.]

Hey, what's your name?

[has_a_blog]

[Something about this feels oddly familiar...]

Dave...Dave Strider.

[theheirofbreath]

Nice to meet you, Dave.

[It does, doesn't it?]

I'm John.

I might have a last name, but I can't remember it yet.

[has_a_blog]

How suspiciously generic. Are you trying to pull a con over me?

[theheirofbreath]

If it is a con, nobody's told me yet.

And anyway, it's the only name I remember right now, so it'll have to do.

[has_a_blog]

Alright, cool.

[theheirofbreath]

So what exactly do people do around here? When they're not out hunting memory gems, I mean.

[has_a_blog]

The memory gems take up an awful lot of time, but otherwise we just kinda generally make ourselves useful so we don't get thrown out like a thirty year old still throwing parties in his mom's basement.

[theheirofbreath]

Useful how? Is there anything else they want us to do besides collecting gems?

[has_a_blog]

You know, help little old ladies across the street, compose love ballads, deal with mime infestations.

That sort of thing.

[theheirofbreath]

So they just want us to be generally helpful? Okay, I can do th-

[Wait]

..... There was a mime infestation?

[has_a_blog]

Not that I've noticed, but you never know with mimes. They're quiet bastards.

[theheirofbreath]

It's not like they'd be hard to deal with. They're always suck in pretend boxes and stuff. So all you'd need is a pretend jail.
