[It's Afternoon. There is a video of a dark haired man with a strange silver zipper down the center of his head. He looks a little agitated as he stares at the video, his hand running over the top of his head as if checking himself out of habit, then fixing his very torn jacket in front

...But sometimes you don't. Are you okay?

I'm alright, for now... A little disoriented. I was told there are a lot of people lost here. Is that true?

Yeah, there's some people lost here. Sometimes people come here by themselves, and they don't have any friends here already. But that just means you need to make some new ones. Do you need help? I'm not one of the greeter people, but I know how to get to get some places.

[Ah, he gave a deep sigh] I need help getting back to the O.Z. is all. There was something very important that I had to do and... [What... was it--- Oh right! numbers] ...if I'm not there to do it then everything will have been for nothing. That woman, the Greeter, she said I can't go back? There has to be some way.

I don't think you can go back. Everyone says there's no way to go back to where you came from. If you try to leave, the monsters at night will get you, and you can't go out and swim because you'll die from the sirens. I don't know how that really happens, no one's told me.
But it's not that bad here! Especially for the ones who don't have a home to go to.

These monsters sound rather unforgiving...
I'm... sure it's not that bad here, though it's not as colorful as home. I had something important to do and...now I worry it's too late.

Only if they catch you! Then you can just stay inside and they won't get you.
The sunsets are really pretty here, still. [Pause and she looks down.]
I know what that's like. I have something that I need to do...I was about to do it, but then I came here. But there are people here who talk about time and different times...um. Timelines?

Stay inside; watch the sunset from here. Got it. Though this Darkness... It's only ever at night?
Timelines? [he stroked his chin, thinking. Hmmm] I'll have to ask around about that then. I've never dealt with time displacement but I know...er, I think... maybe... I might have studied it once.

Or find some place nice and watch it and then get back inside when the sirens go off! Yeah, the Darkness is only at night. It's when the sirens go off at night to when they go off in the morning.
I never did either until I got here and someone told me... [Pause.]
...Did...did you lose your memories, too?

I've never heard of such a phenomenon before. Does that happen everywhere in this world?
Memories. Marbles. Everything. Yep, that's me, but I ain't no Headcase, in case you were thinking that. Though if you don't know home maybe you weren't... hmm...

Um... [She shrugs a little] I don't know. We can't go anywhere else in this world, so maybe it is? Or maybe it's just this place!
Marbles? Headcase?
