Video
[Everyone loves dogs, right? That's why the video opens up with a close up of an adorable Papillon dog wagging her tail happily. She prances in place, circles a few times, and then lies down.
After that, Umber turns the video feed around to actually focus on himself.]
Now that I've got your attention, hi, I'm Umber. I know I'm probably not the only one going through this, but damn if it isn't weird to just blink and find yourself in a city, right?
[Never mind that he's never lived in a place like this before, only passed through, but apparently this is where he lives now? He's not sure he likes that idea very much.]
I mean, I can't be the only one, right? The guy at the booth acted like this happens all the time, but this is the first time I've ever been...I dunno, warped? Teleported? I'm hesitant to call this a kidnapping because it's not like we're tied up or there's a ransom or something.
I say 'we' but I haven't met anyone else who doesn't act like they belong here yet. So let's see some hands, who's out there. Also how long have you been here and does anyone have any ideas about what the hell's going on or how we can get home?
[He pauses for a moment, then turns the camera back to the dog, who's chewing on her paw.] Also that's Butterfly.

no subject
[He's never dyed his own hair any wild colors, but he's considered it a few times.]
I'm settling in as well as I can, I guess? I'm not sure I'm really happy with the idea of settling in yet, though. Are we stuck here?
[She seems really cheerful, so this place can't be too bad, or it might all be some kind of trick. He doesn't know. He has theories but he has no idea how plausible any of them are.]
no subject
[ If he ever wants to dye his hair, she's the girl to go to. ]
I'm afraid so, my new friend. I tried leaving shortly after I got here and just ended up at the booth with Jerry.
no subject
[His attention has been grabbed now.]
Well that sucks. The being stuck here part, I mean. Do you know why we're here? Like, there seems to be enough people here already, why do they need even more?
[Whoever 'they' were, in this case.]
