1, video

[A pair of big brown doe eyes are peering into the camera at extreme closeup, like he's trying to dive into the lens and spot people on the other side. Finally, the eyes pull back, and the video focuses on the rest of the face to go along with the eyes. It's a teenager, with a really weird and ambivalent expression on his face. In the background are his new digs, still shiny and new and clean, and obviously a suite in the Earth sector.]

Wow, okay. This Skype connection is weird, it says I'm on but it's not giving me any user names or pings or anything. It's either broken or I'm doing it wrong, either of which is possible, I guess.

Um.

Yeah, so, I'm Stiles, I'm seventeen, I'm new here and I'm apparently dead. Or something, maybe not. Gotta love that whole hot mess. I thought the afterlife was supposed to be a bit more, you know, well-defined and concrete. ...For an ethereal possibility that's never been proven, except on bad basic cable "Reality" shows.

[Oh, the sarcasm.]

Anyway. Okay, this is a long shot, but does the town name Beacon Hills mean anything to anybody here? Maybe? Beacon Hills, California? 94166? Yes? Holla at yo hometown. ...Please?

Is it working? And sure, you can call me Traci.

It's not a wall, no. More like an invisible bubble wrapped around us. I imagine it's sturdy enough to withstand the pressure of a dive. If not, Asti doesn't seem to be the type to just let us all perish in vain for a dip. Nice turtle, this one is.

You can try, and maybe I'll answer. Maybe I won't. [It's not really a big deal anyway. Maybe.]

What, now he's a monopoly turtle? Or are we thinking Pringles? That one had a black mustache at least. I can't say I can see Asti into raising property taxes though.

Curses, foiled again!

Sounds like a challenge to me. Well, how about you? Do I get a backstory too?

[... Wow, she didn't actually expect a backstory. ADHD huh?] You'd be surprised how interesting 'boring' people tend to be.

Okay, county sheriff? That's cool. And you're also about my age, sounds like.

Sounds about right. Pretty sure there's quite a few teenagers dragged here to save the world, though I'm not really quite sure what from just yet.
