Um, let's see. . .

( the video is a little shaky at first, mostly getting flashes of the floor and robes. and then finally a figure appears as the video focuses. his face is completely obscured by the shadows of the large hat, at least until he raises a gloved hand and moves it back to get some light on his face, but it flops back into place not

[Oh hey, Beat didn't know Hope was back! He looks like a complete idiot in his costume. So have a talking panda.]

Naw, this kinda thing ain't normal. But somethin' like this s'already happened before.

[skycutting]

( just... quiet for a moment, at least until the panda talks talking. )

Oh, um, really? A friend mentioned weird things happen, but I didn't think it would be this weird.

[gangstaspeak]

This ain't nothin' yet, yo. Things 'round here can get helluva lot weirder.

[skycutting]

Considering that people have been telling me I've been here before and I have no memory of it whatsoever, I can believe that.

[gangstaspeak]

Yeah, you was. Guess I gotta introduce myself again, huh? Name's Beat.

[He lets out a chuckle.] S'gotta be weird hearin' people sayin' that they know ya from before.

[skycutting]

Yeah, it. . . it really is. I feel kind of bad though for not remembering anyone beyond my friends from home.

( he gives a small smile though. ) It's nice to meet you... again, I suppose, Beat.

[gangstaspeak]

Don't sweat it. It ain't like it's your fault, man.

Right back at ya. Sorry 'bout this though. [Gesturing downwards to the panda costume.] Damn thing won't come off.

[skycutting]

. . . Yeah, it's still a little weird though.

An-and it's okay, I understand. This thing won't come off either.

[gangstaspeak]

It's jus' like that here, you know. Always messin' 'round with us.

It don't look too bad, yo. Better than this. It's hella hot in here.
