[When the SFC turns on, the image is at a funny angle, but it clearly shows a soaked red-headed young man leaned up against the fountain. He's dressed in a bright red military outfit with a long yellow scarf around his neck, but it's clear parts are badly singed and even the man himself isn't in the best shape. Part of his arm and one of his knees seems to be torn open, but instead of blood and tissue, there's metal and sparks and some sort of fuel leaking from the wounds.

Still, despite the injuries, the man's spirits don't seem to be damaged. He groans in frustration as he takes in his surroundings.]

Dammit! Now what? Hey, Joe, can you hear me?

[When there's no response, the frustration flashes clear on his face. Jet's eyes take in his new surroundings and eventually find the recording SFC and the brochure nearby. The brochure he decides to set aside for the moment in favor of the weird thing that looked like some sort of technology.]

What the hell is this thing..?

[And then he promptly discovers the off button.]

I believe it's called a communicator. It's very much like a phone, where you can talk to people. In this case, the people who are in the same situation, such as yourself.

[He holds up the brochure he'd decided to flip through, his tone dry.]

I'm starting to get that a bit. Are you one of those 'same situation' people?

[ofthedragonfire]

I am, of course. But, I believe we arrived from different worlds. At least I believe we did.

[fallenstar]

Maybe. Don't suppose you're from Earth, are you?

[ofthedragonfire]

I lived most of my life on Earth, but that's not where I was born.

video;

[fallenstar]

Yeah? I'd ask where you were born, but I get the feeling I wouldn't know it even if you told me.

I'm from New York.

[ofthedragonfire]

So you're from America. [Same country she ended up in.] As for where I was born, if you weren't from my world, then most likely you wouldn't know. But I was born in Domino, but ended up living most of my life in Gardenia.

[Sola should be worried about the guy's health. He looks to be in pretty bad shape physically but... well, he seems unconcerned. And those are wires. Dirk said robots don't feel pain, right? So... the question he's gotta ask...]

Are you a robot?

[fallenstar]

[He should probably be more concerned about the fact his knee's just out in the open like that, but he's tired and he hurts and moving is hard.]

No. Robots are just hunks of metal.

...What are you, an elf?

[He sees those ears, dude.]

[replicatedcourage]

[Not unless you're an elephant.]

No, I'm a Hylian.

Do you need help? Though... I know some people who build robots but if you're not a robot I dunno if they can help.

[fallenstar]

[Rude

A what...? Is that some kind of country of in the middle of nowhere, or is that an alien?]

Never heard of that before.

[As for the other part of that, yeah he needed help, he was no mechanic, but...]

The only person who can help me is Professor Gilmore.

[Well, that wasn't entirely true...the professor was just the only person he trusted not to mess it up.]

Or maybe someone who knows cybernetics, I guess.

[replicatedcourage]

Well you look human and most humans are from Earth I think and I'm not so that's why.

[Sooo... sort of an alien.]

I don't know any Professor Gilmore but I do know Dirk and Darkleer and Jade and they all know about science stuff like that. I mean, if cybernetics is science. It sounds like a science word.

[fallenstar]

...how old are you?

[Cause really. Although hearing that the professor wasn't here was both unsurprising and disappointing.]

Yeah, it's a science.

Voice

[shirleyhopeful]

Ah...what about your injures? Shouldn't that be first?

Voice

[fallenstar]

[He's about to say something rude, but he bites it back.]

Yeah, but my usual 'doctor' doesn't seem to be around, so I guess I'm a little out of luck.

Re: Voice

[shirleyhopeful]

[she is trying to help here!]

But I am sure there is someone here that can help you! I think that there was someone who once mentioned something about mechanics once...

Voice

[fallenstar]

[Sorry, he's just a punk like that sometimes.]

Yeah? Would you let some kook claiming to be a doctor poke around your insides and just trust them not to screw it up?

I think I'll be a little more picky than that, personally.

Voice

[shirleyhopeful]

No but I am not going to have you be injured like that! It's something and it might even help you out!

[Hm....]

Or perhaps, you can talk to her and see what you think?

Voice

[fallenstar]

[Sigh.]

Guess staying like this isn't really an option either.

[And since neither Gilmore nor Kouzomi were there, he couldn't be too picky.]

What's her name?

[Video]

[shippingmath]

It's a communication device, obviously, considering I'm communicating with you on it.

[Video]

[fallenstar]

Oh, Really? I wouldn't have guessed. Thanks for helping me out.

[Enjoy that sarcasm.]

[Video]

[shippingmath]

Happy to help. [Sarcasm right back!] I could tell you we're underwater, too.

[And then it's time to be slightly more serious.] Normally advice would be to get the fuck to the clinic, but it doesn't look like you can just slap a bandage on those and be fine in a few days.

[Video]

[fallenstar]

[Oh good, someone who will hold their own.] Thanks, I hadn't noticed.

[Still, on the more serious side he smirks and shakes his head.] Yeah, wish it were that easy. That might help with some of it, but not all.

[Certainly not that sparking knee or the deeper wound on his arm.]

Still, sounds like there's not much I can do about it, my 'usual physician' ain't here.

[Video]

[shippingmath]

You're welcome.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends how much you're willing to let strangers poke around in your insides.

[Video]

[fallenstar]

Can't say I'm too fond of that idea.

I guess it depends on if the person knows what the hell they're doing.
