[there's music drifting over the network this morning. loud, upbeat hip hop, to be precise. it's almost drowning out the sound of power tools. after a few minutes of this, a hand reaches into the view of the video feed and grabs a water bottle. Tony dictates idly from somewhere offscreen]

So, I think I'm getting my bearings. Thanks to those of you on the volunteer can opener brigade, that is. I gotta hand it to this place, it's like Mardi Gras with better beads. I flash my shoulder at the natives and they give me free power tools. So, uh, things are coming along. I might almost be able to make a decent pad for myself at this rate, lack of answers aside.

[what he neglects to say is that as soon as he IS settled, he'll he looking for said answers.]

One question, though. What's this I keep hearing about kids?

Huh. Well, do me a favor, huh? If anything goes down and you need a hand, let me know, okay?

Yes sir! Don't worry, though. I'm gonna be in SOLDIER some day, so I'm already pretty tough!

[rockstark]

Soldier? Wait a minute, how old are you?

[ugly_soldier_dude]

I'm ten! I can't join for another couple of years, but that's what I gotta toughen up now!
