[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.]

So he's the only one in his world. So what? If there's more somewhere else, then good. Very good.]
That sounds really cool. I don't remember being a baby, but I was told I was so small I could fit into a radish crate, so I guess we can be pretty tiny.

[Well, this is new territory.]
Are they like me? Bigger? Smaller? Do you know, have you ever seen one?

[The world is getting bigger and bigger in so many ways, Po's going to have a headache later.]
My master is a red panda. Master Shifu. That's...well, that's good. There's more of us!

Oh, he can do a lot more than that! He's trained the best kung fu warriors ever. He's really, really good at himself. And he's extremely smart when it comes to, uh, stratigizing.
[That's not a word, but Po just said it. So it must be. Somewhere. Somehow.]

Me? Yeah, I am. I, uh...they call me the Dragon Warrior back home. But that's really just a title, I'm just a kung fu master like all the others. Really.

It's pretty awesome. Okay, no: it's totally freaking awesome!

You totally have to show me sometime.

Really? Why? Do you know kung fu or something?

Oh! It is cool. It's very cool. It's like only the coolest thing ever. So you've never done it? Would you like to try?
no subject
[He mimes doing a karate chop.] Hiiiiiya!

Whenever I get settled, I'll totally teach you some stuff if you really wanna learn.

[He was gonna learn self defense from Sharon and that other blond chick, but learning KUNG FU from a PANDA is way better.]
