I come from de Junkyard, bro. Dough nobody else seem to know what dat is...

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

Junkyard...? You mean, uh, where people take their trash? You live there?

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

See, I knew you was gonna say sum'tin like dat!

It's de name of de place I come from; dunno why it's called dat, but it's got not'in to do with trash.

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

S-Sorry! I didn't mean to be rude about where you live or anything - really!

Re: [radio]

[digitaldreads]

No worries, bro! You're not de first. Seems like I'm de only one dat know about it...

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

I don't know if I'm the only person at all from where I live but I do know I haven't found my friends just yet... erm, so what's the Junkyard place like?

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

Ja, none'a my comrades are here, too...

De Junkyard? Kin'a like dis place, only dis place don't seem to have udda tribes.

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

Other... um, tribes? Like gangs?

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

'Gangs'...? Maybe. Dat sounds right, I tink.

Dere be six tribes in de Junkyard--one'a dem de Embryon, our tribe--and de last one standin' gets to Nirvana. Dere don't seem ta be anyt'in like dat here, dough...

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

That sounds pretty complicated... I-I mean, the gangs back home fight but that's just if you got on their turf or something, not for, uh, whatsitcalled, Nirvana? Anyway, I think you're right, I haven't really seen any gangs - or tribes - here.

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

Complicated... ja. It didn't seem dat way before...

Dis place sorta like a tribe, don't you tink?

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

The people here are like a tribe...? Maybe we could think of them like that! We're all stuck here together, at least.

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

Exactly, bro! We all gotta look out for each udda while we in dis mess, ja? So we're comrades!

[radio]

[seesplotrun]

That sounds great to me! It would be really nice to have friends - or, uh, comrades while I keep an eye out for the guys back home.

[radio]

[digitaldreads]

Ja, dere you go!

De name's Cielo, by de way.
