[Victor is looking straight into the camera; he's got nothing to hide, after all. He seems fairly nonchalant about being here, and he mostly is, except for a couple of concerns about people he's left behind. Sure, giant turtle cities are pretty weird as alternate dimensions go, but he can cope. At least people seem to be friendly enough, and it does sound like his help might be needed.]

Hey. My name's Victor, and I just got here, so I thought I'd say hi and see who else is here. I, uh, don't think many people will recognise me, unless my friends turned up as well and I just didn't see them. Mostly I'm looking for a couple of kids called Molly and Klara, so if anyone sees them can they let me know?

[He shrugs, and looks down at the console itself, now looking a little confused.]

Anyone know how these consoles work? I usually do okay with technology, but I can't even tell what these are made of. I don't want to mess around with them if I don't know if I can read the code... if they even run on code.

[He'll avoid mentioning why he's usually good with technology, though. He's not sure what kind of prejudices people even have here, and cyborgs usually make people a little uncomfortable even at home. He looks up again suddenly, having just remembered something.]

Speaking of which, I'm meant to find a job, apparently. Anyone know anyone who needs a mechanic or an electrician? I'm not officially trained, but I'm good for an amateur and I pick things up pretty quickly.

If I had the parts, maybe, and the right tools for the job. And I, uh, kind of need an operating system I can [interface with, no wait] understand. Sure, it all breaks down to binary on some level, probably, but the less messing I have to do the better.

[goodanswer]

Uhh... yeah. I totally agree, with all that. [it... sounds right.]

I'm over here in the "Metal Sector," as they call it, and it's the only place with anything even remotely resembling that kinda technology. So you should probably look there if you wanna do it.

[runawayandroid]

Not a computer person then?

[Or at least, that's his guess from that answer.]

I probably will, at some point. Gotta make sure I have enough money to eat on, and then budget for more important stuff like more than one set of clothes, then maybe think about a computer rig.

[goodanswer]

Not that kind of computer person. [chuckle.] All that stuff is beyond me, man.

If you figure it out, let me know, huh? I could use a better set-up than what they give us.

[runawayandroid]

It's not that difficult, although I guess I have a pretty major advantage over most people. [Shrug.]

But yeah, sure. Helps if I know who I'm talking to though, dude.

[goodanswer]

Oh, er, right. I'm Yosuke.

[runawayandroid]

Sure, then. If you see anywhere selling stuff like that, let me know, yeah? And if I can, I'll set up a couple of systems when I can. Powering them might end up being the hardest part of the whole thing, though.

[goodanswer]

It was Victor, right? Good luck with all that. Might be pretty hard, but I'll keep an eye out.

[runawayandroid]

Yeah. Thanks, dude.
