[The communicator is upside down. Then rightside up. Then upside down. The blonde teen on the other end turns it the right way again, putting it close to her face, and then finally, holding it at a reasonable distance and angle. She stares at it for a few moments, and then tilts her head back with a giant laugh. She speaks with a thick Australian accent, despite the fact that Australia doesn't...exist, in her world. Go figure.]

This thing is great! I can really talk to everyone through this? Wish I had one a these buggers in me other world, I bet some rich ole coot would pay a bunch for it!

Anyway. I ain't new to this whole alternate dimensions thing. But I gotta say, this one seems pretty damn nice. And I ain't sayin' that cuz I'm a brown noser, either, you guys went and hooked us up. Free place, free food, ya don't have to jump through any hoops or rip off anyone or nothing. Back in me own world ya don't get shit for free, unless ya got sticky fingers.

I was kinda in the middle a somethin' when ya brought me here. The weird thing is, I don't remember what I was doin. That beer machine mighta knocked me out, messed with me head. Someone stuck somethin' through me, though.

[And she moves the camera towards her stomach. Since she doesn't really wear real clothes, you can see the bandages.]

Looks like somebody was trying to do me in. Nobody's gonna kill The Great Kid, so quit wastin' yer time!

Ah, yeah, before I go. What's the best way to make some money around here? None of that "ya gotta show up all day, every day" business, I'm lookin' for somethin' good.

It is good to meet you as well, Kid!

I am a good weapon, but I am partnered. May I suggest coming to Morning Training and seeing who may be available? It happens every morning in the park, and there are plenty who are willing to speak on partnership and resonance, as well as many who are unpartnered seeking someone to work with!

[snatching]

At the arsecrack of dawn? A girl needs her beauty sleep, I can't be chasin' knives around at six in the mornin'!

[spandexisyouth]

At the...

[He blinks before shaking his head.]

You could take a nap after? The morning is the best time for training! Days, and their beginnings, should be seized and embraced, not scorned!

[snatching]

I'm more of a night-owl, meself.

[spandexisyouth]

You can change that! Take control of your days! They are yours!

[snatching]

So are my nights!

[spandexisyouth]

But nights are meant for sleep!

[snatching]

I dunno, I think I like yer moon better than yer sun. Not as much laughin'.

[spandexisyouth]

The moon drools more.

[snatching]

I'm quick.

[spandexisyouth]

That does not make it any less disgusting or disturbing!

[snatching]

Yer right about that. Moons don't have faces to drool out of in the first place, where I'm from.

[spandexisyouth]

Our moon, in my world, does not either! And our sun neither laughs nor has a face!

[snatching]

Those buggers talk?

[spandexisyouth]

I have not heard them talk. Unless you are talking about mine, and I think then I can safely say that they do not ever talk back home.

[snatching]

Course yers don't talk, they don't have faces to talk out of! I meant the ones here.

[spandexisyouth]

Ah, right then. I have not heard them do so.

[snatching]

Well I still ain't goin'. Maybe if I get bored down the line.

[spandexisyouth]

It would be good for you!

[snatching]

I'm healthy as a horse.

[On the skinny side, but that happens when you're homeless.]

[spandexisyouth]

Horses are healthy? [A beat.] But you can always be more fit! And it would lead to gainful employment!

[snatching]

I think so.

And I told you, I ain't lookin' for employment. I don't want anyone bossin' me around.

[spandexisyouth]

There are no bosses on missions! And training can lead to missions!

[snatching]

Ya really want me to go, eh?

[spandexisyouth]

Training is that important to me, yes!
