Introduction

[stillprotecting]

[He hears someone approaching and opens his eyes, not entirely sure who to expect. Then blinks. And blinks again.]

This… This is not where I was. It isn't where I need to be.

[He looks around and frowns.]

Where is this place?

[He glances down at himself, moves his arm and frowns more.]

And why... This doesn't make sense.

You're in the city.

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

The city? What...?

[He's looking around for the owner of the voice.]

{ voice; }

[emiltastic]

The um... small box?

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

Small...oh. This?

[He picks it up.]

{ voice; }

[emiltastic]

Yeah. You use that to talk with the people around here.

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

Where are the people...? They cannot be inside this machine.

{ voice; }

[emiltastic]

Oh.

They're somewhere else... where are you? The City's really big and there's a lot of people here.

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

I...have no idea. How am I supposed to know?

{ voice; }

[emiltastic]

Are there people? Trees... flowers?

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

Trees. There are...a lot of trees.

{ voice; }

[emiltastic]

That's the forest.

I wonder if you can see the city from where you are...

{ voice; }

[stillprotecting]

I... I don't know. I can't see anything beyond the trees around me.
