[He won't even bother wasting his time showing his face or voice. Text is a lot faster, gets the message through without revealing himself.]

I hope you're all enjoying your stay on Fantasy Island as much as I am. I still haven't gotten my wish for the largest whirlpool bathtub and all the chili dogs I can eat. I'm hanging in there but I'm starting to lose my patience.

Got some questions and having them answered would really boost my mood.
How high does the tech run here?
Who else is kind of freaked out by the locals?

[More anonymity on the network? Does the in between favour suspicious types - specific ones? There's not enough in the post to make assumptions though. Not yet.]

Being from the metal district, I can confidently say that the tech is somewhat lacking and old fashioned. The locals are odd. I can't say I trust them given they won't answer questions. And they're a little too eager to accommodate us. So I suppose I am a little freaked out by them.

Old fashion compared to what? I got a guy claiming to be a Marty McFly up there. Except more dead.

You make it sound like you see shape-shifters and blue guys all day. That, and paranoia and you are lunch buddies. I can't be the only one who's thrown off by their appearance.

[He's not but hey, social surveys need to be single blind for valid results.]

[Still nothing. Or at least nothing he could confidently put a finger on - he's looking for patterns and doesn't trust that he won't make them up himself.]

Late 20th Century tech is the most advanced I've seen. No TV though, which sucks because I am so missing my favourite show. There's a couple of people like that where I'm from. And I guess I watch a lot of TV? The paranoia's a carefully nurtured gift.

[20th Century, unimpressed at tech, paranoia check. ...Computer geek?]

Goodness me, is this what helpful answers look like. I think I might be seeing the light.

I know what you mean. You just can't beat good old fashion boxed in entertainment.

But here's the 64M question: are you one of those hacker guys that keeps all their notes in a capsule that's shoved up their ass? I saw that on TV too.

[Still nothing conclusive and it's annoying him. Cocky, sarcastic, crass. Tim knows what he wants to think - or else doesn't - but he can't jump to conclusions. He needs a hint of something.]

That's not sarcasm, right? I mean, I'm trying here. No kidding. I'm guilty of enjoying far too many superhero shows. Hacker guy, yeah I guess so. But, sorry to disappoint, I don't need to write my notes down. Got a pretty good memory.

[Superheroes shows, huh.]

No, it's not. I do enjoy good old fashion boxed in entertainment and answers that are useful.

I'm more of a paranormal/conspiracy theory show person. Superheros are too flashy.

Great. Got any dramatic flashback of how you go here you want to share?

Alright, awesome. Can't be sure over text, you know? You should check out the darker ones. You know, vengeance and all that? Not as flashy. Got plenty of paranormal and conspiracy stuff too. I was studying all night and then suddenly I was being fished out of the ocean. Not exactly exciting. You?

You get off the hook this time and only this time.

I work the graveyard shift, I get plenty of darkness. So, thanks but no thanks.

Pretty much the same. I was working and next thing I knew I was spitting out seawater. If that's not exciting enough, I need to get out more.

You're too kind, really! Yeah, not really my thing either. Especially not anything with bats. Those freak me out. I think I'd take being stuck at home doing my homework with being on a moving island.

[Odd mention there.]

I'm going to pretend I didn't see that.

Bats. That's the first thing you thought of that could be lurking in the dark? How old are you, kid?

If this isn't really happening right now, I'd disagree.

One of those kinds, hu? Old enough to know that there's nothing wrong being afraid of bats. They're creepy, alright? Nope, I'd definitely rather be at home.

Funny. I was thinking the same about you.

Sure. Just tell the giant turtle where to drop you off.

Oh really? What makes you think that? If only. So, did you get any decent answers out of the locals on your luxury cart ride?
