[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.

How long?

[rebelwithaclock]

Well, I came here on the 9th, so...two and a half weeks or so?

[snatching]

Is that how often people show up?

[rebelwithaclock]

Yeah, I think so.

[snatching]

Damn. I guess I won't be new here for too long, eh?

[rebelwithaclock]

[chuckle] No, I guess not. Or maybe you'll only be "less new."

[snatching]

I'll be fine by then!

[rebelwithaclock]

Yeah? ...Yeah, I think you will be.

[snatching]

Ya learn quick!

[rebelwithaclock]

[He laughs, then catches himself and tries to disguise it by clearing his throat.] I do my best.

[It's okay to laugh, mate! In fact, Kid does!] That's more like it.

[rebelwithaclock]

[It shouldbe OK, sure, but Chrono's unused to showing emotion very openly to someone he's just met. As it is, he feels a little surprised or even weirded out that he's feeling so comfortable around Kid now when he was upset with her only a few moments ago.

...But he still gives her a little smile.]

Um, so, good luck getting settled here! And if you need anything...feel free to ask?

[snatching]

You bet!
