[The face that appears on the screen tonight is young, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and incredibly calm as the boy pauses to look into the camera, wondering if it's actually working. He smoothes the fabric of his shirt once before raising his hand to his chest and leaning forward in a small, polite bow.]

Good evening. It looks like I'll be spending a longer time in this world than I thought when I first woke up here, so tonight I would like to introduce myself as well as ask a question, to anybody who may be watching.

My name is Ricardo Russo, and I've been giving a housing in the "Woods" sector of the city according to the per-- kedan who brought me here. If we're neighbors, I hope that we may get along, and if it is not any trouble, that I could be given some advice on the dos and don'ts of living in Tu Vishan. I'm afraid it's my first time living on my own, so I'm not very sure how to go about it now that I've been thrown in this situation so suddenly.

[Here, Ricardo pauses, his definitely unworried expression changing to show a little bit of concern and he touches his chin in a thoughtful manner, then continues.]

Also, if anybody knows of a man who calls himself Christopher and has sharp teeth like a shark's, I would like to know of his whereabouts. He's a friend of mine. I'm sure, if he is here and knows how to view these posts, he'll come find me on his own, but he'd probably like it if he knew I was looking for him, too.

... That is all. Thank you, and I hope we can all get along without trouble.

Only when I'm bored, which is most of the time. Some of them are less annoying than others though.

Hmm...

I really do mean no offense [he kind of does] but I can't say I'm completely unannoyed by being complained at about being a child. You're not doing much better.

If you wanna go ahead and complain about my being an angel, I'll tell you now I don't give a shit.

[passively]

I was not complaining about anything. I also said nothing about you being an angel.

[candystriped]

Well, that'd be a first.

This place does seem to attract the weird kids though.

[He doesn't understand why anybody would call you an angel from first impressions. He resists the urge to shake his head.]

"Weird" kids? what do you mean?

[candystriped]

Like ones that don't act like kids, but like old farts in kid bodies.

I hope you're not saying that I'm like that. I like to think I don't act like my grandfather yet.
