[ A tired looking young man with big blue eyes comes on the screen. ]

Uh. Hello? To anyone who might be listening to this, my name is Malcolm Bright. I have no idea how I got here, but apparently that's not unusual. After speaking with Jerry and a few of the other travelers... I still have questions. [ Malcolm will always have questions about everything. ] Has anybody been doing this for a long time?

[ He pauses to lift his cup and take a drink of his coffee. ] Oh and thanks to... [ He squints at the cup and then reads off of it. ] Stark..bucks, for at least making a halfway decent cup of coffee. If anyone knows where to find a hard drink, I'd appreciate that information too. Thanks.


[ ooc: Malcolm had a TDM thread here, so he's already explored the environment a bit. ]

Starkbucks was coined by a man named Tony Stark as far as I can tell. So, that would explain the play on the words.

Are you settling in alright?

[prodigalmess]

Ah. Well, it tastes better than motor oil at least.

As well as I can, I guess. The locals here are not apt to trust outsiders at all.

[menarebrave]

I'm not certain I want to ask how you know that.

I doubt they even trust their own neighbor. Just a hunch.

[prodigalmess]

Not from literal experience, though I have had a lot of bad precinct coffee before.

I'm very curious about what happened here.

[menarebrave]

How bad is bad?

My guess is something environmental caused the spiral downwards. Or, they've always been like this, and the planet is just naturally a desert.

[prodigalmess]

So bitter I've had to spit it out.

Climate change is my guess too. I wonder if there's always been two suns here.

[menarebrave]

Remind me to get you proper tea next time. I'm not anything like my butler, but, I can fair well enough for a good cup.

Do you think the planet just happened to fall into the gravitational pull of another sun?

[prodigalmess]

Your butler?

[ He can't help but smile at that. Even Malcolm didn't have a butler growing up. ]

Maybe? If that's possible? I'm no astrophysicist.
