[There's a small inkblot, as if the patient writing this didn't quite know where to begin.]I know this sounds kind of crazy, but is there anyone here who woke up looking different from before they got here

Yes.

[pullstrung]

Really? Where are you from?

[feartehreaper]

[ Slight mark of hesitation. ] Japan. What about you?

[strike-outs illegible]

[pullstrung]

All the way from

I'm from America.

Listen, this might be a really weird question to you, but do you belong to someone? Or did you used to belong to someone, even?

[strikeouts a single line, legible]

When I was first brought here I believed I was upgraded to a newer model. Not much has changed, but there are some differences.

I now have ears. And my Is this the kind of change you are inquiring about here?

[pullstrung]

Sort of. But what do you mean by newer "model"?

[no_dont_go]

I was an artificial being before having been brought here.

[pullstrung]

I'm not following you. You mean you were like a robot or something?

[Messy handwriting]

[sixth_attack]

Yeah, I was a battle android before I got dragged into this mess. Lost a lot of power and stuff. I still look the same but in an "organic-only" sense I guess...

Same thing happened to you or something?

[strike-outs illegible like woah]

[pullstrung]

A battle android?

And, yeah, kind of. But not the android part. Or the crazy part, either. I don't think anyone from home would have an easy time recognizing me like this.

[sixth_attack]

Yep! I had the Fizziroy model before I ended up here, it's one of the most powerful cyborg bodies around!

Really? If you weren't an android, then what were you before? There's a crap load of different types of people stuck here.

[strike-outs illegible]

"Fizziroy" sounds like a soda or some medicine...can't say I've ever heard of that!

Yeah, I've noticed. And [a couple of marks of hesitation] I'd rather not say what I am here, just that I belong to someone I need to get back to right away.

I'm the same person I've always been, but I was a lot less human before coming here, if that makes any sense at all.

[pullstrung]

Believe me, it does.

Where are you from?

[scarefaux]

A place called Oz. Some people don't believe in it, but I suppose stranger things have happened, like someone who used to be made of straw finding themselves suddenly human.

[pullstrung]

Oz? You're from Oz.

And you used to be made out of straw?

[yin_yang_fox]

Yes. It's common here for that to happen if you're less than... normal.

[pullstrung]

Hey, I'm perfectly normal where I come from.
