[ Video switches on to show a man with a ginger ponytail in a hideous green v-neck frowning deeply and looking incredibly disappointed and/or frustrated, sitting on a park bench as dusk settles in.]

Okay, I've been here for less than a day, so would someone mind explaining to me how it is that the United States government can allocate all these funds to keep us imPorts in nicely furnished, comfortable homes in several cities, and expect native businesses and companies to provide us with paid employment, yet its own citizens are still facing what seem like absurd rates of homelessness? Like I said, I only just arrived, but it didn't take me long to find people who have lost their jobs and homes to make way for the growing imPort population.

[ Someone spent his whole first day in Heropa in a park, befriending homeless people. Continuing on, he sighs heavily, as though this is personally wronging and inconveniencing him, not people he doesn't even know. ]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we're to blame for this. After all, it's not as though it's our fault some unstable technology yanked us from our worlds and lives. Of course this world's government would have to provide for us until we can return home. But every single one of us has the responsibility to give back.

So, what are you doing to help? I'll be taking donations to start up a charity for natives displaced by our presence, if you can't come up with anything on your own.

It is the only free part of said consultation.

[ A celebrity, maybe? Mick's not always on top of those. ]

Sounds like I missed the memo somewhere. [ He shrugs. It's not that important, right? They're getting off topic, though. ]

By the way, where'd they put you?

[ She giggles and tucks her hair behind her ear. ]

I'll say. You don't sound like much of a capitalist yourself.

You'll be relieved to know I don't submit to Doctor Freud that often. Beware of the fruit that hangs low, and so forth.

I would be certainly interested to hear about your methods.

Old me apparently spent most of his time in Heropa, so I've got more assets there than the other porter cities. I actually know of a few more charities where that came from, but HHOH is in the most need.

I'm not used to people coming on here wanting to help the general citizen population. Where are your panicked questions about where you are and how you got here?

That's a good way to go about it, as well! I'm sure they'll be glad to see that imPorts do care for them.

Old you?

[ Piper shrugs. ]

I got that out of the way while yelling at the military goons at Cape Canaveral this morning, I guess.

Sometimes this place brings in alternate versions of ourselves. Last guy wasn't nearly as cute as me.

[M's smirk widens.]

How dare you direct your anger at the correct people.
