[Introductory Network Audio] + some action for Heropa 16 housemates

[randallboggs]

[Playing it safe for his first public contact, Randall doesn't yet show his face and uses only the audio function to address the network.]

Well, well, well, this is quite the turn of events, huh?

One minute I'm doing my job and the next - bam! I'm here with a bunch of paperwork and a brand new mission.

I guess that's happened to a lot of you here. Same old story.

So what's a mon-- guy got to do around here to fit in?



[Action for residents of Heropa 16]

[Having been informed of his extra shapeshifting power that gave him the ability to become human, Randall had quickly abandoned that idea. It didn't feel right and he thought if anything went far too wrong, he always had the power to be virtually invisible with his natural camouflage. Then he could hide or flee, as necessary. Luckily for his peace of mind, he knew that humans weren't as toxic to monsters as was advertised in his own world. He'd learned that not too long ago but it gave him a step up on not being frightened to even go near them here. Even so, it was with caution that he entered his newly assigned home of Heropa 16. The only thing he knew was that it was a shared accommodation.]

Hello...?

[beyourzoomer]

Yeah but did you have super powers before you got here?

[Audio]

[randallboggs]

I can do some things, sure.

[Audio]

[beyourzoomer]

What kind of things?

[randallboggs]

And why should I tell you those kind of details?

[There's some defensive wariness in his voice.]

[beyourzoomer]

To satiate my curiosity obviously.

action!

[riptide, currently in his own human form, comes across randall while casually eating out of a bag of popcorn.

...unpopped.

he stops, stares. frowns.]

What the-- why didn't they make you human?! That's no fair!

[randallboggs]

[The lizard-like creature freezes for a moment when he's addressed. Tense, he's ready to vanish if he feels threatened.]

I'm... I chose to stay this way.

[knaval]

Ugh. Lucky.

[he shakes his head.]

Alright, what planet are you from? Bah gragh and all that.

[randallboggs]

Planet? What sort of question is that? I'm from Earth.

[Sort of.]

I guess you live here?

[knaval]

What do you mean, what sort of question is that? You look like an alien! I mean, I'm not from Earth, so.

[shrug]

Yeah. Not for much longer, though.

[incogneto]

It would help to know what makes you stand out...

[randallboggs]

That's kind of the opposite of fitting in.

[incogneto]

I mean, if we knew what that was, we might be able to help you tailor a solution.

[randallboggs]

Well, what's considered positive around here? What are good traits to have if you're human?

Uh, I mean. In this world?

[incogneto]

As far as I can tell, making small talk and picking a sports team.

It's difficult to answer such a question. Humans are complicated.

[reexamined]

Observation indicates become an alcoholic.

[Audio]

[randallboggs]

You think that will help someone fit into this world?

[reexamined]

If you drink enough for it to become an affliction, you'll get a built-in group of acquaintances at Alcoholics Anonymous.

[randallboggs]

I think that all might be a bit too complicated.

[As in he'd probably have to keep to a human form and he's not keen on that idea.]

[reexamined]

Oh, and you think "fitting in" is just going to be an easy task, then?
