[It takes Terra a while to investigate his new little communicator device... and then a while longer to remember everything he was told about how to use the thing... but eventually he gets an audio recording going.]
Hm. That definitely did something. [Or he's pretty sure he got an audio recording going, anyway.] Yeah, looks like it's working now. Okay. Uh... Hello?
[There's a brief pause and then he clears his throat and starts again.]
Hello. My name's Terra. I'm new to this area.
[This whole situation is an unimaginably big problem in regards to the keeping of the World Order, and he is probably duty-bound to Do Something About It, but while he figures out exactly what one is supposed to do about a whole world full of people knowing there are other worlds out there, he'll just not contribute to the problem. You will get no acknowledgement that this is another world from him, no sir/ma'am.]
I was wondering if anyone's figured out why they're here? I've read a couple times now that it's just... an accident, some random happening, but I don't buy it. There's gotta be a reason this power has been bringing people to this place. Some purpose or purposes it means for us to serve?
[Another pause. What else was he meaning to ask? Oh, right.]
And does anyone know anything about the games played around here? Sports games, specifically. I was given a job as a sort of coach... [Wait, let him just read the job title off the paper-] An 'Athletics Counselor'. For troubled kids. I'm told I'll get some training for the job, but I'd like to go into it knowing as much as I can... and right now, I really don't know anything. [Ah.] Except that they don't use fruit as balls in any of their games.
[A good thing to know, that.]
That's about it, I guess. Thanks for your time.
[Now to remember how to turn this device off.]
Hope that worked.

[ He knows from experience. ]
I'll take a quick look. [ A pause. ] My name is Goro Akechi. It's a pleasure to meet you.
no subject
And thanks, Goro Akechi. I owe you one. Or two. Maybe even three sometime soon, since I might have to ask you for chess pointers. I've played the game before and know all the rules and everything, but I'm not all that great at it.
no subject
Please, you can just call me Goro. I appreciate the formality but I believe it's not necessary. [ He offers a pleasant smile. ]
I've sent maps of the local libraries as well as current community centers that you might wish to look into. If you need any assistance with finding these places please don't hesitate to ask. I'd be happy to show you around.
no subject
But Goro, then. [He nods a little to his phone. And then feels a twinge of embarrassment when he remembers no one can see him with his voice replies.]
I can use all the help I can get right now. [He doesn't mind admitting it in this case.] All of this is pretty new to me. Thanks again, for the maps. I was wondering where I was supposed to find maps of this place... Never thought they'd be in this device. I think I should be able to find my way, but uh... I'll let you know if I get lost.
Have you been here long? You seem like you really know your stuff.
