[ He waves a hand. ]
Yeah, yeah, I know the spiel. Got it from someone, I don't know who. A pity, really - I wish I've gotten the pretty girl. [ Pause. He scratches his head. ] I had a point somewhere- oh!
I know I don't look like much right now - blame it on the clothes, who drops someone in the middle of nowhere with just one set of clothes? - but I'm someone pretty important back home. I can [ he waves a hand ] make things. Useful, awesome things. And I'm also pretty good at organizing people. Was the CEO of my multibillion company back home.

So. Who wants me?

Also, I AM STILL TAGGING BATMAN'S POST. Never fear! If I missed a tag, hit me up. It's very likely I forgot about it or it got lost in the depth of my inbox. ]
