[This is one clever little newcomer who has quickly figured out the system. Well, the SFC system at least. He adjusts it slightly so he is looking straight into the camera. He is very obviously New Here. Mostly on account of being slightly wet and covered in towel.]

So. Yeah. Hey. I'm sure you get this all the time but I'm new here.

[pause, mumble]

Wow, that sounds like it is some kind of support group. "hi everybody, I'm the Once-ler and I'm stuck in a fishbowl."

Anyway, I was reading the pamphlets-- Great stuff really, very informative. I uh, think there were a few typos. And you might wanna hire a new illustrator, cause yikes, but really, thanks. It helped a lot. Wouldn't wanna be stuck in a kooky underwater magic fish bowl without some information, am I right? Haha.

[S i l e n c e.]


Anyway, I just got one question...

What is up with these towels?



[And he goes back to drying himself off again, muttering a little under his breath.]

Wow, a thneed would work so much better for this.

D --> Well
D --> Generally when one is wet
D --> They would want to dry off
D --> If only to avoid getting sick if nothing else
D --> It seems like a rather obvious answer

[He is just kind of grouchy, don't mind him.]

[ OH SNAP she gets to be on the other end of the new arrival routine this is sort of exciting.

And also sort of hilarious.

She's just sort of had herself parked in the plaza, watching people appear all soaking wet. It's like a game, a little. Who's going to freak out? Who's going to shrug and continue life as they were?

WHO KNOWS?

Anyway, this guy looks like he's got himself pretty well down. No outward freaking out. Got a towel already and everything. Way ahead of her just wandering off as soon as she got here.

And she waves. ]

The hell is a thneed?

[ And a hello to you too. ]

Each New Arrival Here In Vatheon Appears In The Plaza Soaking Wet
The Towels Are Provided As A Free Courtesy
A Sort Of Welcoming Gift
The Informational Packets Are Also Done As A Courtesy By Volunteers
Though If You Have Any More Specific Suggestions For Them Im Sure The Welcoming Committee Would Appreciate The Input

Hey there! Welcome to Vatheon, I'm Rise!

[She sort of wished she had bothered to find one of those pamphlets on arrival, would have been useful. Oh well, too late for that! It was time to greet someone new, now- something she hadn't gotten a chance to do yet.]

..What's up with the towels? Have you never used one before or something?
It's to dry off, of course! Everyone seems to arrive at this place soaked.

Wild Video Appeared!

What's a "thneed"?

[A little bit sarcastically:] Too bad we don't really have illustrators just lying around here.

[As far as he knows. Anyway.]

The towels? They're for the newbies, usually.
