[Eric appears on the screen, seeming to be sitting in a dimly lit office, glasses on his face. He'd sat there all day really, at his job, doing pretty much nothing. It was laughable, that they'd put him in a position such as this- Eric was a man who liked to be busy, hell he practically needed to be busy.]

Hello fellow imPorts. My name is Dr. Eric Dufosset, as some of you may already know. It seems that there is no end to introductions in this place, with how people come and go seemingly endlessly. [He smiles, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, he's just trying to be pleasant.]

I come to you all after another day wasted at my job. So I thought about maybe being a little more vocal about these things. My official title, as dictated to me by those who brought us here is Dream Interpretor. [There's movement to the side as he raises a cup of coffee and takes a sip, clearing his throat before talking again.] But here I am without dreams to interpret.

So, my fellows, would anyone care to tell me a dream? [There's a smile that basically admits he knows no-one will be interested.] Alternatively, there are many other things I can interpret if you'd like to visit my office. I have tarot cards, tea that can be brewed, palms to be read... Just give me something, please. I'm weary of the inertia.

If that's the first thing you're concerned about, I wonder what sort of doctor you are~

Unless a witch-doctor, because that would be quite funny!

[incantamentum]

[He chuckles.] Well I'll have you know I actually chose that moniker for myself, with the idea that I might be a superhero. However I'm actually a Psychiatrist.

Oh, we've got a few of those here! Some of them are very naughty, though.

Does that mean you have magic?

[incantamentum]

So I've heard. It was rather... disheartening knowing that the profession had come under discrimination thanks to one madman's machinations.

[He nods though, swiftly.] I do, yes. Its part of my being.

Oh, that's always the way of it, dear, in any world, it seems! One messy genessi makes things hard for me in my world, too.

That's wonderful! Some people change quite a lot when they get here, they've said. I think that'd be quite disconcerting, myself.

Genessi... I don't think I quite understand that word? [Which meant it was either a linguistic anomaly or one of those brilliant little multiverse problems.]

Adaptability is a necessary means to survival but I'm glad that in this instance I haven't needed to adapt to something as important to me as my identity.

A genessi is a DNA manipulator. Apparently it's something quite unique to where I'm from!

Oh, I completely understand, dear. I know very well how fundamental it is, to feel like one's self.
