[When the feed kicks on, a slightly dorky looking young man appears on the screen - another new face, it would seem, but maybe less perturbed than most. In fact, he's beaming, all pretty white (if a little gappy) teeth and three big, bright eyes fixed on the camera.

...Three?

He speaks, his voice almost incongruously velvety.]

Helloooooo?

Hello!

Well, I have to say, this was a bit of a surprise! I was thankful for the welcoming committee, but I wasn't expecting to wake up in anything resembling this! In fact, it's the third largest turtle I have ever encountered! Wonders never cease.

[There isn't a trace of sarcasm to be found anywhere in his tone.]

The suite is much better than my apartment, I must admit. I might grow, in time, to miss the steady chanting in the wee, dark hours of the morning...but for now, I'm going to enjoy the change of pace!

After all - I haven't traveled this far from Night Vale since...well, since I backpacked through Europe when I was younger! And let me tell you, there were no turtles involved in that.

Except the one.

But he was a total. Jerk.

[Three eyes. Three eyes. The guy has three eyes. That may be the strangest thing he has seen yet in this festival of culture shocks. Deep breath.]

You should have been here a week ago. Would have really emphasized the... wonders here. [Sans dreaming. No wonders there. Only nightmares.]

I'm Will Graham.

[Oh, dear. Is this guy okay? He fixes all three eyes on the lens with intensity]

Wonders? What was going on a week ago? You have me curious now, and let me tell you - my curiousity will never cease until it is sated!

I'm Cecil Baldwin! I'm sure I'm very pleased to meet you.

[THREE TOO MANY EYES STARING AT HIM. also you're sure you're pleased, but you can't say that factually? are you uncertain that you're sure?]

We were underwater. There was a city very much a lost Grecian society, and the ghosts there hosts a large gala for the foreigners.

Awwwww, sounds like I missed a good time!

[Whatever Cecil is, he sure is oblivious to your discomfort, Will.]

It was something.

[yep. got that. got a lot of that.]

I'll bet! I'll bet.

[Whole lot of nothing to Cecil, though. You just look sweaty to him.]
