Hey.

[There was a skinny eighteen-year-old, pale, dark-haired, with white-rimmed sunglasses obscuring half of his face. It didn't matter that he was currently indoors; he wore those sunglasses everywhere.]

Alright, so, I've been here a little while. Felt it was time to reach out since we're all stuck here.

I'm assuming no one knows any way to get home. Am I right?

[He waved a hand dismissively; he didn't really care right now about being stuck here.]

Forget about that. What do you all do for fun around here when you're not rebuilding or whatever? It doesn't look like this place is built for street racing, so that kind of ruins option number one for me. Is there at least alcohol here?

Seems like I'm going to need some new hobby ideas.

[He moved to turn the video off but remembered one last thing.]

Oh, before I forget, the name's Kavinsky.

Wait... Here?

[And now Tommy's running through all the new arival dudes.]

[burnyoudown]

No, he's on a different alien planet.

[His words were practically dripping with sarcasm.]

Yes, here.

[doubled_speed]

Shit, man. That's a mess. Who is it?

[burnyoudown]

His name's Ronan. Lynch, that is. We lived in the same town before this.

[doubled_speed]

...

Yeah, good luck with that. Already had to save his ass once. Apparently the genius chose to sleep in the forest his first night. Dangerous shit, the forest. Had to break something's neck to save him.

[Kav has his work cut out for him.]

[burnyoudown]

[He nodded slowly. Yup, that sounded about right. He wasn't surprised in the slightest.]

I've had to save his ass before, too. I know what I'm getting into.

[Did he though. Did he really.]

[doubled_speed]

Do you though? Have you looked into the dictionary function, about some of the creatures here? Study up so you know which ones to run from I guess.

[burnyoudown]

I've looked at a couple of the animals here. There's a lot of them, man, I haven't gone through all of them yet.

[But he would. More because they were cool than because he was scared of them.]

[doubled_speed]

Dude, even trying to research is pretty fucking awesome.

[Tommy hadn't tried, when the comms had first come to them. He'd just tried to wing it. Went bad sometimes.]

You going to keep yourself safe too?

[burnyoudown]

[He considered that for a moment. He couldn't exactly keep Ronan safe if he wasn't safe himself, sooooo-]

I'll do my best.

[And he meant it this time.]

[doubled_speed]

Cool. Have fun then. Welcome to suckland.
