[The image displayed is of nothing human. It is, in fact, nothing more than a panda in a pair of darned pants standing straight up as if he knows no other way to stand. He’s obviously in the new “home” he’s been given, and if it’s possible for him to seem even more out of place, he somehow manages it. It’s similar but it’s not, and he’s never seen anything like the kedan before.
He’s entirely out of his element, and if it was ever doubted that a panda could display that much with expression, he’s living, standing, awkward proof that a panda can do just that.]
Uh. [Brief, something that was almost a word but never quite made it. He has no idea about these devices except for what he’s been told, and he still finds it difficult to believe. Others can see him, he can see them, and they can speak that way. How is that possible?] So. Hi. This showing a picture, right? A…a moving one, I guess. I don’t really understand, but that’s what those guys told me, so it probably does, right?
[He’s blathering. This is hardly anything new with him, and he realizes it, and that also shows. He runs a paw over his face, ears popping right back into place when it passes over them.]
Yeah, so, the introduction thing, I guess. I’m, uh, [awkward] Po [still awkward] and I’m from a place called the Valley of Peace, and [little less awkward] I never really thought that when you ascended, it was to another city. Thought of it more like another plane. But that’s okay, because you can’t ascend anything when you’re asleep, but you can apparently get trapped, and that’s pretty, uh. That really sucks. Like. It sucks a lot.
[He’s still obviously out of his element, but he stands up a little straight and stops fidgeting.]
Is there anything that whoever else here can tell me that doesn’t suck?
[Things that suck less are also wanted, and it’s after a close-up of a bear paw that the image disconnects.]

[ Clearly Po is another mutant and that is totally normal for Mikey. Sup bro. ]
video forever, etc.
Good tea and free housing, that's what I've gotten so far. But we're on a turtle and the turtle is sick, so that sounds like it sucks.
For the turtle and everyone else.
no subject
I dunno man, he seems to be okay with it I guess?
[ Mikey frowns and scratches his head. ]
Or maybe he's not okay with it and like, he can't speak so he can't tell us?
no subject
What do you mean, he can't speak? Why can't he speak? Is it just that no one can understand how he speaks or he can't talk at all?
no subject
Dude what if like... he's talking but no one's listening.
[ Well that's a morbid thought. And now Mikey's imagination is running rampant. ]
no subject
That—that's awful. How can something exist and not be able to communicate? The universe itself communicates! Maybe you just have to be really quiet to hear him, and no one's been quiet because everyone's worried.
no subject
no subject
I mean, I don't know the turtle at all. I'm still getting used to the idea.
no subject
OH.
Okay I get it, it's cool bro.
no subject
Get what?
[That he's new? That he's still not used to everything?]
no subject
I can handle it.
[ That's the sound of the point whooshing over Mikey's head. ]
no subject
Scared? Me? I'm not scared. Scared of what? There's nothing to be scared of.
