[ 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?

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.

[atypical_echo]

Have they been good to you?

[exasperation]

They haven't been bad. Kind of quiet to be honest.

[atypical_echo]

No causing you to be stuck alone in the past?

[exasperation]

. . . No?

[atypical_echo]

Well then, that's good to hear.

[exasperation]

That seemed weirdly specific.

[atypical_echo]

I've lived a weirdly specific life.

[exasperation]

It sure sounds like it.

[atypical_echo]

I'm not happy about it, but that's life. And how it works for me sometimes.

[exasperation]

Well. Your life is different now. Maybe you can make new things work for you.

[atypical_echo]

More like 'different for now'. The guilds clearly wanna fix things to send us all home. Which puts me back into the pot of boiling water.

[exasperation]

[ this guy was so depressing at times. ]

Then I guess you can wait and see?

[atypical_echo]

[He can't help it.]

Guess so. And make popcorn and figure out if there is a new season of Bachelor coming up.

[exasperation]

Fair enough.

[atypical_echo]

Good luck with the little business.
