[video]
[The video clicks on to a ... tidy room in a place, and it looks rather sparse, but there are a few bags on hand, things that make it clear that someone's been shopping recently. The bags are obviously from clothing stores, but it looks like they haven't been put to good use yet-that, or the owner of the video really does like covering himself in a long, black coat.
It becomes obvious right away that this isn't on accident, as he turns the screen around to face him, smirk on place.]
Don't worry about the mess there. I've been doing a little redecorating-of myself, of course. I just couldn't decide what to wear for my big day, and let's just say my roommate's taste in color coordination isn't one I could just count on. She's all bland and boring and ...
[He waves a hand at himself.]
That just ain't my style. It's not so easy to memorize that.
But that isn't why we're here today. I've been doing a little thinking, about how to introduce myself, and I wanted to show you out of the kindness of my heart how to relax a little. Y'see, my fine fellow refugees, it's come to my attention that living here is a little difficult. The sights, the sounds, the new arrivals ... all the influx of unusual things becomes hard for you.
So I thought I'd give a little two step process to helping you out a little. Let me just say that it's tried and true. A semi-productive organization I was once acquainted with approved of it. "Semi" being the operative word here!
Step one: Do a little recon. You might think it's easier to just check in and cry out in agony, or even let your guide do all the talkin' for you, but that's just a little risky. There are lists and backlogs and information, and the way I see it, we all get sucked in around the same time. Maybe someone's gonna come in next and see this, and understand. But maybe the guys in the office should put "do a little reading" at the top of all that paperwork. Might save some people some trouble. Gotta wonder how many people don't find their loved ones just 'cause they were sleeping through it.
Step two: Relax. That's right: R-E-L-A-X. Stretch out on your assigned bed and kick back. You're gonna be here for a while. Best way of dealing with this is to sleep. Don't got a hobby? Explore a little! Or try one of the many recommended bars, which I've heard there are quite a few. How nice. If you're thinking you're a little too young, try some ice cream and grab a new friend. Or just sleep-it's tried and true, and it's my favorite.
[He drops down onto the bed and places his camera elsewhere.]
Actually, that's why I'm here today. I wanted to give a demonstration to all the fine and friendly people on what should be the default thing to fall back on. Naps are nature's remedy, I'm sure. I'm not claiming to be some kinda expert, but it's gotta be the case. You just drop back, close your eyes, and you're good to go.
Just watch my very helpful demonstration.
[Axel starts to lean back, but hesitates.]
But one more thing. Anyone care to teach me how to juggle? I swear-I'm a natural at stuff like that.
[And then he lays down, the video feed coming to a close.]
