Your faceplant. The yelling. And possibly more yelling. A little bit from your feed with other people because, oh, doncha' know you're broadcasting. I'm also Xander and in a weird mood tonight so -- yeah.

[How did they capture him in Manhattan? He doesn't get it.]

Yeah, um - thanks.

I'm Xander. I'm not the best at being the City guide but I can try. Firstly, you're in the City. Capital C, without another name. Seriously, unoriginal, but that's what it is - where you are - I mean.

So, you only know you're in the City?

[...Well, skimmed.]

[pause - he's listening for it]

Wow, that is annoying.

Yeah. It's the way the City ... I don't know, pushes people to get to know...people? I may not be the most eloquent but I live at a place with extra rooms.
