[The feed shows a young boy - 12 at the most - sitting at a desk and carefully centered in the picture. His blond hair is so light that it's nearly white, and his eyes match the sky blue of his button-down shirt. He hasn't buttoned the top, but even if he had it wouldn't have been enough to hide his most notable feature - a number tattooed on his neck, starting at the center and wrapping around the left: 22194. His hands are folded neatly in front of him, and he has a small smile on his face. The picture of a reliable, trustworthy child. Or so he hopes. It would've worked on Mama, back when Mama had any reason to trust him. Who knows about the adults here?]

Hello! [The smile widens, becomes brighter.] My name's Norman, I just got here a few days ago. I've been reading back, and I think I have an idea of what's going on. Though some things just got more confusing! [He laughs. If it sounds a bit forced, well, he did plan out the whole post.] The worlds people are from are really different, aren't they?

[The laugh fades away, and the smile follows.] I do have a question. I know that trying to do anything with the Porter can be...difficult. But has anyone tried to influence it to bring certain people in?

[He's trying to seem serious, but calm. His face gets that across, with an expression that's intent but cool. Anyone who looks down at his hands, though, will notice that his knuckles have gone white.]
