[There's a boy in a white coat making his way around the floors of SPHERE HQ. He's carrying an odd-looking backpack, one hand on one of its straps and the other holding onto his NEXUS device to rely on its light while he glances at his surroundings. Eventually he stops to look down at the device, busying himself with following the tutorial's

[Ah! A new face--lots of those have been showing up around here but it's for the greater cause isn't it? A small cough, a little static and a raspy clear of the throat alerts the viewer to his own device tuning in.]

At least you're here to help! Lot's of others just run around the place moaning about on and on about it.

[Hearing those sounds on the other end, Doug frowns worriedly.]

It must be difficult... Is there something we can do?

[A wave of the hand and that worried expression is ignored! He's fine, he's fine--just a sore throat.]

Always! You can offer your assistance to anybody really--their are teams that go out to collect things for the facilities, scientists, doctors. Anything you can think of really.

[Now there's clear surprise on Doug's face when he sees Lavi appear on the screen.]

Lavi?! What are you doing here?

[For a moment he wonders if Lavi is thinking the same thing, judging by his expression.]

How could you help this dying planet, Doug?

Private;

[dreamsofnoah]

Maybe his body would make good compost.

[dreamsofnoah]

[The same as Lulu Bell, Road is immediately interested in anyone the Bookman seems to be on friendly terms with.]

Hi Doug ♪ Should I say welcome~?

[bytheireyes]

[Admittedly, he's surprised by the seeming cheerfulness and wonders how much time the different people he's spoken to so far have already spent here, if Lavi's been in Ceriu for months.]

Thank you. ... Were you brought here the same way?

[dreamsofnoah]

Hmm, I can't know without you telling me how you got here. But since everyone arrives in much the same way, I probably did.

There was a small orb that played back a message. After that, I found myself here.

[ Link recognises the clothing and the backpack. Name, he does not, however. Who actually remembers Finders' names? Someone should, but that wasn't his responsibility. ]

They have groups here that go out scavenging. Something like that is similar to what you did back in our world, yes?

[ Voice ]

[bytheireyes]

[Going by the choice of words, Doug assumes the new response must be from a higher up.]

Yes, it should be. I'll speak to the person in charge of those groups to sign up.

['Our world'? That part makes him pause.]

[ Voice ]

[hawkeyed_crow]

[ And you'd be right to assume that. ]

Sooner the better.

[ And he pulls out his title right now. ]

Howard Link, Inspector from Central.

[An inspector from Central, a general, several exorcists and two scientists, all here... Maybe they do have a chance of helping in this place.]

Yes, sir.
