[The first thing the lovely residents of Somarium might notice is flailing. But not just any flailing, legitimate “I’m an idiot” flailing. It’s a simple enough device. This guy has a phone back home. It’s not this phone, but he’s not inept to the technology.

Anyways it goes on like this for a minute, video blurring at times.]What is this thing?

It's not your phone from home, actually. It's a new one that this place gave you. Pretty great, huh?

Anyway! You're in a place called Somarium now.

This place gave me a free phone? [That's kind of cool, still...] But I want my phone!

[He sulks a little; his lips form a slight frown.]

How did I get here? I've never even seen this place before.

[helpsnoobs]

I'm sorry. Maybe it's still around somewhere?

[He rubs the back of his head.]

This is Somarium! It's a dream world.

Guess I'll have to go look for it.

[He tilts his head, expression now turning thoughtful.]

So I'm dreaming right now?

[He leans in closely to look the boy over, then darts his eyes around the area. He's smiling a huge, impressed with himself smile. He's also laughing.]

Wow, I'm really creative...

[helpsnoobs]

Well...I don't know how it works, really. What we're talking on right now is called a Dreamberry. It also broadcasts our dreams.

[He halts all laughing. A long pause.]

... It does what?

video;

[helpsnoobs]

It broadcasts your dreams. Not all the time, but sometimes.

[fiveminutefail]

But why does it do that? [He begins screwing around with the device.] There's gotta be a "don't invade my privacy" option on here somewhere...

[helpsnoobs]

I don't know.

[He rubs the back of his head.] I think I heard about a filter option once, but I haven't tried it myself.

video;

[fiveminutefail]

I see. [He rubs at his chin, pondering these "filters" and how overly complicated everything is.] I'll have to look into that, then.

[helpsnoobs]

Good luck!

Is there anything else I can help you with?

video;

[fiveminutefail]

Thanks, I'll probably need all the luck I can get.

Ah, I think that's it. Unless there's more?

video;

[helpsnoobs]

No, I think that's it. At least to get you started!

video;

[fiveminutefail]

I appreciate the info.

[A pause, before he exclaims:]

Oh! I'm Kotetsu, by the way. Kotetsu Kaburagi.

[helpsnoobs]

It's nice to meet you, Kotetsu. I'm Silabus!

video;

[fiveminutefail]

It's nice to meet you, too!

[And just now is he suddenly realizing how young this boy looks.]

Ah. You're not here alone, are you?
