I don't blame you. There's a lot more to worry about when you get here. I just wanted to know if someone was playing a prank on just me with that message.
Well, I think you and practically everyone else here would have a better chance at figuring it out than I would. [A soft, self-depreciating chuckle] I've only just figured out how to use this thing.
Nothing remotely close to it, actually. It took nearly a whole night to get the hand of it--and that's not counting the first message I sent out accidentally.
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that pressing random buttons really doesn't work.
A night isn't really a long time if you've never used anything like this before. Even some people from my time would have trouble with the Pokegear and we have similar technology.
A lot of people send out messages accidentally. I think the record button must be sensitive.
I guess it's hard to remember something like that when you've got to worry about...you know, being transported to another world. [His voice is extremely dry]
Justice, is it? [He grins] I like that. You can just call me Merlin--nothing fancy, please. A kid called Miles tried to tack on a "mister" and well. I'm not that old.
I've been here for almost a month, so I don't have much of an excuse. [Sheepish smile]
I think Miles is like that with almost everyone. I tried to get him to call me Apollo, but I've only managed to get him to call me Mr. Apollo instead of Mr. Justice.
He is. [A smile] I'm twenty-two, so I guess it's relative. To him, I'm probably pretty old. But I'll work on it; it feels weird being called "mister." Most people call me "kid."
I did see the message, but after the shock of waking up in a strange place, I'm afraid I didn't think on it. [Sheepish grin]

Must be. [He pauses thoughtfully, then sighs] I really should get around to asking names earlier--what is yours, by the way?

I thought so. He's seems like a good kid. [He raises his eyebrows] You don't look that old, either. Just keep trying.

[He grins] You're only a year younger than I am. That's much too young for "mister". And too old for "kid". [He adds the last bit a second later]

I know! [He sounds a little indignant. People really need to get their eyes checked!]
Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
