I just found out today that this place has more than one continent. [He's been here for a few months now, so this is kind of sad.] That's kind of weird, isn't it? I wonder what happened to make it break up like that.
Guess I'm curious to know, though, 'cause I've been kinda bored today: anyone else's world different like that? Or anyone else's look like mine? Here. It's like this...
[He takes a moment to scratch out something, yes, you get to watch him doodle in a notebook he found nearby (sorry, Genos), and holds up this masterpiece. He even drew waves on it to help you get the full picture.]
So...?

This is Major-General Olivier Mira Armstrong. For those of you who don't know me, I'm the commander of RISE: Rogue Import Suppression Enforcement. We're an imPort-run group that works with the local law enforcement to police our own, and handle crises that local, unpowered officers can't. We're headquartered out of Helix Station in Maurtia Falls, and were instrumental in fighting back the Soviet occupation some months ago.
The whims of the device that brings us here and sends us home have left my staff limited. I need new recruits, both those willing to confront potential rogue imPorts, and those willing to bring them to justice via trials.
That is all. Armstrong out.

Playmaker-san asked a good question about if our powers defined us. It's something I've been thinking about lately.
What if you have a power that goes against even your biology?
If it changes something about you that's always been a requirement?
As a Ghoul, I've always had to eat humans to live. There's no other way, it's how Ghouls are. How our bodies work.
But...the Porter has made it so I can eat human food now.
Before it made me sick. It tasted horrible. But now it's good, it doesn't make me weaker to eat it. If I can eat human food to live now, instead of humans...
Does that change who I am? Does it change what I am?
I have always been a Ghoul. I don't know how to be anything else.
[ 'i don't know if i want to be anything else' goes unsaid, but it's there.
thanks for the existential crisis, kidou. ]
