[The video turns on, and a man wearing a Sheriff's hat is scene hunched in an alleyway.]

Didn't expect to be back in the city. Or any city, really, 'cause I do know this isn't Atlanta.

[He's looking rather anxious, taking off his hat and rubbing at his forehead.]I read this whole manual in the... uh... the Dreamberry? This device, here, to

There's an option on the dreamberry to give information about the places displayed in the map. This might be helpful in finding food.

[rodeintotown]

Guess I haven't gotten that far in it, yet. Thank you...

[rushofwingbeats]

You're welcome.

[rodeintotown]

What's your name?

[Sitting in his apartment relaxing after another day of patrolling, browsing through the various functions and features on his phone (still not used to this place, probably won't ever be), Shane never thought he would see another survivor, much less his best friend. This place was outta this world, ain't nothin' like it back in Georgia and he was sure of that.

People here got weird hair, some of 'em ain't even human!And then there was all them video posts and texts messages and dreams showin' up on his phone. A real invasion of privacy (and that wouldn't ever be right, in his opinion).]

Rick?! That really you, man?

[He pauses, frowning and biting his lower lip]

Shit, this can't be happenin'.

[Another pause, this one a bit longer]

Don't you dare be playin' some joke on me. I been waitin' a month to see somebody I know, hopin' they ain't dead or turned to walkers... I swear, if I find out this was all some kinda cruel joke, Lord help you, I will beat your ass.

Shane? [He vivibly perks up at that; he knows that voice from anywhere.]

Shane, where are ya? You're supposed to be back at the RV, did this place come in and scoop you out, too? [He's staring intently into his dreamberry, trying to figure this one out.]

[Back at the RV? Shit, the RV was the furthest thing from his mind when he came into Somarium. Did Rick have no idea what happened? Had he forgotten seein' Sophia come out that barn?]

I'm back in my apartment, man, where the hell are you? Just describe what you see or somethin', anything you think'll give me an idea of where you're at.

[A pause]

I don't wanna go into detail 'bout this place, still got a lot of questions 'bout it myself, but it'd prob'ly be easier to talk when you ain't God knows where.

[rodeintotown]

Your apartment? [Wait, what? Why did Shane get an apartment? Was he supposed to get an apartment, here?]

Besides this wall? There's... [He moves over a little.] A giant fountain. Huge, to my right.

[seekingbody]

[ Mister, you're taking all of this really well... ]

There are many stores in the area; you can find them using the map on your Dreamberry!

[rodeintotown]

[It's all inward. Everything is repressed.]

What about... money? Since y'all got a thrivin' place, here, I can't jus' steal food.

[seekingbody]

There are things called Dream Points here. They serve as currency. Most people start out here with a fair amount, actually. The thing you're talking into has a way of telling you how much you have!

[rodeintotown]

It does? [Surprised.] Guess I have to keep goin' through the manual. But uh... Dream Points? How d'you start out with them?

[Voice]

[i_love_head]

There's always the shopping district. There're eateries there.

[A scoff.] Welcome to dreamworld.

[Voice]

[rodeintotown]

Thank you, I'll see to that.

...Dreamworld?

[Voice]

[i_love_head]

Yeah. Somehow everyone here is actually their dreaming self-consciousnesses or something like that. And somehow, we can dream within this dream. Pretty complicated.

[Voice]

[rodeintotown]

...What? Are you... what?

[vectornake]

I'm quite new myself, but there should be at least one cafe or restaurant nearby. Depending on how close you are-by the sounds of it, you appeared in the city proper-I may be able to assist in the flesh.

[video]

[rodeintotown]

That would be mighty nice of you. I'm in... I'm somewhere, I don't have a map or anythin'.

[video]

[vectornake]

That's quite all right sir. Just describe what you see, and I'll try my best to find you quickly.

[video]

[rodeintotown]

There's...a... giant fountain. Over to the right.
