[It takes him several minutes, but he's been introduced to the Internet and has also been watching crime shows at night because what else is he going to watch. Plus, spy stuff is cool. Codes are cool. So he... manages. He thinks.]

THAT'S RIGHT! GOOD THINGS MAY COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT BUT GREAT THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO CHASE

[amadaman]

Oh, I see. But that makes sense, doesn't it? Some things will come to you if you're patient, that's the natural flow of things. But if you really want something, just waiting won't be good enough.

Why this, suddenly?

[triangleman]

BECAUSE I'M NEW IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NEED LOTS OF HELP BUT I DON'T WANT TO OFFER NOTHING IN EXCHANGE. SEEMS AWFULLY RUDE!

[amadaman]

It's called helping out, so it's not necessarily rude. But I guess that's fair of you.

My name is Ken. Is there anything in particular you need help with right now?

[triangleman]

it's a PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, KEN. I'M JUST SETTLING IN GETTING TO KNOW THE LOCALS AND FIGURING OUT WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. I LEFT A LOT OF WORK BEHIND AND I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING OVER

[amadaman]

If it helps, you get returned to exactly the time you were pulled from, so there won't be much you have to start over. You've probably been given somewhere to live and a job, right?

[triangleman]

I HAVE! IT'S GREAT. I GUESS I'M JUST IMPATIENT ABOUT MAKING SURE MY PROJECTS DON'T GET SABOTAGED IN MY ABSENCE

[amadaman]

What sort of projects were they? Ah, you don't have to answer if you don't want to.

[triangleman]

IMPORTANT STUFF KID, IMPORTANT STUFF

[amadaman]

Ah, well, they'd be important if you were that anxious to return to them, right? I hope you get to soon?
