[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.

Yeah, I knew that! It don't exist in mine either, I get that part, I ain't stupid.

Oh! Good. Then you should understand why you need someone to teach you about this kind of combat! It is unfamiliar and you at least need to start with the assistance of someone! And that is what Morning Training is for!

[snatching]

I get it, I get it. What you don't get is I can do all the same stuff at noon, without the crowd.

[spandexisyouth]

How? None of the teachers will be there.

[snatching]

Can pick it up from someone else, I bet.

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps. But it is a waste of a good morning, and a waste of the resources that are available to you!

[snatching]

The bed's a resource too, I wouldn't wanna take it for granted.

[spandexisyouth]

Get to it earlier and rise from it earlier! You may not be glad you did right away, but in time you will come to understand it is the best way to live!

[snatching]

Are you a salesman or a soldier? Damn, I told you I don't want to.

[spandexisyouth]

I am a soldier! And it is a shame that you do not want to. You are missing out. And that lessens my chances of meeting you in person! And I like to meet people!

[snatching]

Ain't nothin' stoppin' you from meetin' me in the afternoon.

[spandexisyouth]

There is. I have Watch duty and will not be free. I believe other teachers have similar duties and jobs to attend to.

[snatching]

Bugger.
