[ This time when the video opens, it's on a slightly more annoyed Thrawn. You would probably not know that unless you knew the way he usually behaved, though. More of his surroundings are visible and it appears to be a nondescript room of some sort. A sitting room maybe. ]

Greetings.

Where I am from space travel is quite common. It is also quite common to see nonhumans. So I am still adjusting a bit to the culture shock here. I am aware that there are many non-native imPorts, and that they represent many differing worlds. Some of those are worlds I have never heard of. So surely I can not look so...well. 'Exotic'. Is this a simple matter of geography? Are there too many cities too widely spaced for us not to be remarked on? Or is this world simply more rude than what I am accustomed to?

How do you deal with death and sacrifice, whether it's someone close or yourself?

I need some advice.

[ the phone is obviously propped up somewhere when the feed begins, because there's some out-of-focus fussing, then joshua steps back, smiling a little shyly. he lifts a hand to wave it, looking a little nervous. the palm is wrapped in bandages-- both of them, actually, and there are several bandaids across his brow, only visible because his curls have been pulled away from his face in a ponytail.

it looks like he might be in someone's large back yard-- or perhaps a dog park, considering the number of canines running around behind him, playing and barking. he gestures behind himself as if to illustrate hey!! dogs!! then holds up an index finger as if to ask for a moment. he ducks down out of the frame of the video, and pops back up a moment later with this sweet little old lady in his arms. he gently sets her down on the picnic table the phone is propped up on, and she settles comfortably, stretching her nose out to sniff before glancing back at josh once more.

there's a fidgety moment, his face a little red beneath his freckles, and his lips part.. then shut. they part again, and haltingly: ] Her name is Gemma. [ his hands move as he speaks, signing the words, as if he can't help himself. he doesn't like speaking, which is probably obvious from the slightly uncomfortable expression, but he's also aware that most people don't exactly understand his language. ]

She's ten and she's been here for two years. She's really sweet. The shelter thinks she wasn't being adopted because she.. had a heart problem and arthritis, but.. I fixed it. [ he reaches to scratch her ears, and she stretches out underneath his hand, resting her chin on her paws.

he glances back up a moment later, plucking a little at his bandages. ] .. If you know anyone looking for an easygoing small dog.. That's all I wanted to say. Thank you!

[ do you know how to cope with being murdered in some haunted house by some creepy omnious voice talking to you? You don't sleep and decide to drown in work. That's obviously what you should do. That's obviously what kaneki is doing.

When Kaneki comes to the screen he is wearing glasses and is surrounded by books and two computer screens, and he looks like he hasn't slept in years (because, let's be honest, he hasn't). He will get right to the point when the video feed starts, offering a small smile and a bow of his head ]

Hello. I wish to bring something to you today. Years ago, an imPort by the name of Kate Bishop started a FAQ, with the idea to give every imPort the information they needed about this world and their situation. It was a good idea, but once she was ported out, this FAQ became out of date and it hasn't been updated in years. I wish to bring it back and follow what Miss Bishop wanted to do. I already have her FAQ, which I'll be adapting and updating but given two years have passed since it was written, I think it's necessary to add what today's imPorts want to know and worry about.

That's why I'm making this post. If you have any question you want to see in this FAQ, go ahead and ask. I'll be adding them to the document. And of course, share the document once it's ready.
