[ 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?

Absolutely.

[atypical_echo]

Cool. I'll get the stuff to make it then. Homemade is the only way.

[exasperation]

You're not wrong.

[atypical_echo]

Awesome. I make GREAT homemade hot chocolate.

[exasperation]

Can't wait.

[atypical_echo]

Just give me an idea of your schedule. I'm probably more flexible. I don't have a shoot for, well, at least three days.

[exasperation]

My schedule's pretty open. Barring my jobs.

[atypical_echo]

Awesome. I'll arrange something and let you know. I just need to finish this damn editing pass to turn these pictures over.

[exasperation]

You're a photographer?

[atypical_echo]

Freelance at that. Up and getting kidnapped to another world hasn't helped. Having to build my portfolio over from scratch and mostly getting low paying wedding gigs. It's soul crushing.

[exasperation]

Yeah, that would do it.

[atypical_echo]

I know, right? And since I'm not guild, it's hard to keep things together. It's so much

[exasperation]

It's like that back in my world too. Be government or get out.

[atypical_echo]

It's... not like that back home. It's more 'serve or be studied'

[exasperation]

We had those ages ago, but they phased out once they realized it's too hard to control powers scientifically.

[atypical_echo]

Things were more complicated back home about it. It hasn't let up.

[exasperation]

I wouldn't say it's less complicated back home. Just different.

[atypical_echo]

Okay, you're right. I'll correct myself. Back home they're still actively invested in it.

[exasperation]

Everyone is. Even here.

[atypical_echo]

Back here I doubt they put you in basements and experiment on you.

[exasperation]

Let's not jinx it.

[atypical_echo]

It would take a lot for this place to be worse than home.

[exasperation]

But it could happen.

[atypical_echo]

I suppose it could. I avoid the guilds for that reason.

[exasperation]

I signed up to get settled in.
