Tch...

[The feed opens to an irritated-looking Walter who's none too pleased with being here. Just assume he's been wandering aaround for the last several days... and he's not really aware that this is recording.]

Damn Orerines... you call this paradise? It looks and feels more like a ghost town.

[A scoff.]

And I didn't find the Merines here, either

You managed to refer to your own compensated thought capabilities and attempted to insult the population, things will likely only get worse for you.

[merines_guard]

And just who the hell do you think you are, human?

[17thfreewill]

I don't consider myself to be 'human' for the first instance.

[merines_guard]

Hm. Fine, entertain me. How is that supposed to go?

[17thfreewill]

That's not about to happen, i'm afraid.

Instead I will give you some advice. You're far more likely to live a comfortable lifestyle here if you don't insult every being here, after all things now cost currency.

[merines_guard]

What makes you think I'd be willing to co-exist with these damn Orerines? If you ask me, they should've just died out long ago.

[17thfreewill]

You should be aware that if one is not of your world then they may not be what you think they are. And the note of co-existing though, you have the choice of living peacefully, resorting to stealing or going outside of this area to live with the monsters.

No one is forcing you to stay with everyone else, it might be better for you to go out there so we will not have to endure your complaints.

[Off-camera, he rolls his eyes and makes a rude gesture with his hands. Unfortunately, as much as he wants to retort this guy does have a point. A scowl.]

Don't expect me to get all buddy-buddy with you lot, then.

[17thfreewill]

I wouldn't dream of it nor would I really want you to be. You might want to avoid the girls however but, it's ultimately your choice.

[merines_guard]

Was that supposed to be a joke?

[17thfreewill]

Being vague will get you very little distance. Either way, I did not intend any of that to be a joke in itself or part of one.

[merines_guard]

I meant the bit about the girls, you dolt.

...hmm.

[He seems to be thinking.]

[17thfreewill]

I'm well aware, my statement still stands.

[merines_guard]

...hn.

[A pause.]

There anything else you feel I should be aware of?

[17thfreewill]

Nothing that I can think of which wouldn't be found out sooner or later.

[merines_guard]

...such an odd place, certainly. Makes you wonder what sort of events one has to expect here.
