[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.

If there is a purpose, no one's bothered to inform us- although apparently there are powerful beings meddling in this world- like making an entire town appear that wasn't there before.

I've been here for a year and a half and haven't figured out why I'm here yet. So don't worry if you don't see it right away.

I swear, someone told me something about some goddess with an attitude problem.

You know, you could try soccer, that's a pretty cool game. Or frisbee! Or this one time I played a game called Struggle, it's where you have to knock more balls off the other person to win.

[Oh but wait... is it really all that responsible for troubled kids to beat each other up with foam bats? Maybe not.

...also this guy's voice sounds kinda familiar... somehow.

Huh.]

Um... why would you wanna use fruit as a ball? Isn't that kinda messy?

Hello, Terra. I'm Haru.

[ It's always polite to start with introductions after all. ]

No one has been able to figure out what exactly our purpose is here, but I'm starting to believe chaos is really the point to it all.

Welcome, Terra. It seems most everyone else has mentioned that there's no solid reason as to why we are here, so I'll address the sports question.

There are a multitude of different spots. You could try Football which is a more contact oriented sport, or soccer which has less contact, but more challenge with out the use of hands and very team based. Baseball is relatively easy to learn, though depending on the children you may not want to give them a bat.

The local library should have material for all of them.

I used to think that being here meant a second chance...or maybe, some extra time we wouldn't have back home that lets us reflect, get a new perspective on things.

[She makes a 'hmm' sound for a moment; apparently, the question's got her reflecting some more right now.]

I still believe that, I just don't know if it's a second chance some higher power intended, or one we make for ourselves. I might be kinda biased because I used to think I was going to die in about five minutes when I got ported in.
