[Whoever is in the center of town at the moment might experience a blue speedbump on the ground. The little starfish communicator pops open next to him and the feed opens to the side of Jade's head as he grumbles and lets out an irritated groan. Staring up at the.... sky(?) Jade sat up and gave a look around to his surroundings, then to the little item on the ground next to him.

Frowning, he shook out his soaked hands, understandably confused as to why he was soaked from head to toe. Tataroo was entirely dry save for the river and he hadn't fallen into that. However, the bigger concern was where he was. This didn't look remotely close to anything he knew, which was saying a lot for a man who'd traveled the world. He certainly didn't like the looks of that sky or that... coral in the center of town. After a minute, he stood, ignoring the little device that had been next to him and tried patting himself a bit dryer as he examined his immediate surroundings for foes.]

How peculiar. Is it possible I was brought here, or am I dreaming...?

[Hey, he'd totally be able to guess what defenestration is. Defense is really important for a fighter to learn!]

Okay... I'm not sure I get that, but... got it!

[Close enough!]

I guess that's true. I've probably learned just as much from people who are human as from people who are something else. [A pause, then he brightens.] Yeah, you're definitely right! It shouldn't matter at all what race someone is! We can learn from everyone.

I'm Lloyd, by the way. What's your name?

[Oh god.]

Yes, of course.

[This kid is.... Interesting.]

Colonel Jade Curtiss, a pleasure to meet you.

[Yup, headaches are in your future, Jade, especially if you talk to Lloyd.]

You too!

So, if you're new here, do you know about things like your mark and buying stuff and finding someplace to sleep?

[Someone else might have already explained all that, after all.]

I've found out a few things. I know there's supposed to be a mark but I have yet to find one.

[Of course, he hasn't really strip-searched himself yet.]

I'm unsure how to go about most of it.

Maybe it's someplace you can't see without a mirror, like right on the back of your neck.

What don't you get? Maybe I can help!

[He's not sure you can. Your mental skill has been shown as... a tad lackluster. However, Jade decides he'll at least see what the kid knows.]

How would I go about finding comrades, anyone from my world?

[Hey. Hey now. He's totally got this one.]

I don't know if there's a way to find people from your world if you don't already know who they are, but there is a way to see who's here. Just use your starfish! It's got a list of everyone you can call.

[Why would he be searching for someone he doesn't know? Jade sighs.]

Well, since I do know whom I'm looking for, I believe I'll be just fine in that area.

[Because then you'd have more people to help you find a way back to your world!]

Do you need help figuring out how to find the list?

[Yup, kind of assuming Jade might be fail with figuring technology out. At least as fail as Lloyd himself is.]

[You're gonna go far, kid.]

Basic instructions wold be helpful.

[It's not too hard to figure out, but Jade's unfamiliar with anything that isn't fontech at present.]

Okay, first there's a button you have to push. It's right next to the squiggly shape on the side. Then you...

[The explanation isn't very long, but... uh... yeah, it runs something like that. Lloyd really isn't the best for describing steps like this.]

And then you can see everyone you can call! Got it?

[Oh for the love of... Jade follows the instructions easily, getting to the screen that showed the residents. At least the kid can do simplicity.]

Thank you.

[Simple is what Lloyd is good at!]

No problem. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.

I'll be sure to.

Great. See you later, then!

[And with that Lloyd shuts the feed off.]
