[ the video starts up with ripley at his desk. he clears his throat, trying to seem composed and business-like. he's probably half-way succeeding. ]

Soo. That blackout. That was rough. Right? Right? . . . Right.

Anyway, uh! Stuff happened and — stuff got lost. Or stolen. Stuff and stuff. Oh my god, what am I doing.

[ he clears his throat. ]

My point is. I'm sort of freelancing my . . . powers? They work in teleportation. So I can teleport objects to anywhere in the world, but also if you lost something, I can locate it for you. Anywhere. And that applies to people too.

And, uh, I can also check where to find the best food. Like Yelp, but in my head. Don't ask.

Soo. Anyone . . . interested? Probably?

Besides the usual teleporters here? No.

[atypical_echo]

I can't imagine it's the most fun to do. Gotta throw off the senses.

[exasperation]

I guess? No one's ever complained and it beats air travel.

[atypical_echo]

Fair enough man. I guess if you ever want yourself teleported by your own powers, hit me up.

[exasperation]

What do you mean?

[atypical_echo]

It's an offer. That's all.

[exasperation]

I mean, explain the offer? How would you be able to do that??

[atypical_echo]

I mimic.

[exasperation]

Oh. Neat!

I'm not sure my own mimicked ability would even work on me.

[atypical_echo]

I mean, we can always try. I've rarely run into gifts that are immune to themselves. Immune to others? Yeah, But themselves? I'm more used to feedback loops.

[exasperation]

I guess it'd be cool to try out.

[atypical_echo]

I mean, I don't know if it will work, but I don't know if it's bad to try.

[exasperation]

Probably . . . . nooooot?

[atypical_echo]

Probably. But I'm up for experiments, given, you know, you now sorta know who I am

[exasperation]

Are you a secret?

[atypical_echo]

Trying to be. Back in my world people like you and me? We're not treated well.

[exasperation]

How bad is "not well"?

[atypical_echo]

Do you really wanna know? It's not very fun or pretty or interesting. Super baggage. My ex-girlfriend called me 'Repressed Trauma Boy'

[exasperation]

Could it be a Netflix show? Then I want to hear it.

[atypical_echo]

One of those Netflix shows that makes you cry in the first twenty minutes, and you keep watching to hope it gets better, but you know it isn't.

[exasperation]

Aren't you exaggerating a little?

[atypical_echo]

I mean, maybe I am. But I don't think I'm entirely wrong?

[exasperation]

Is this something you want to be right about though?

[atypical_echo]

Hell no. Of course not. I'd rather be SO wrong.

[exasperation]

So maybe you need someone objective to hear you out. And not an ex.
