Oh, right, this thing! So, this is a holographic telecommunications device, complete with camera, phone, and text messaging. Crafty little thing, though, looks like it has an automatic turn-on feature. For what, I don't know. Maybe it's like a candid automatic! Catches you doing embarrassing things, that's fab. You could record something and post it on Youtube, get a laugh out of--

Well, there isn't any Youtube here, is there? Which is really a shame. All those cat videos just out of reach. I suppose you could start a separate network to just share silly camera videos. Could you do that? Could we do that? Doesn't seem to be any rules to using this thing, does there? Let's see...

Oh, it's broadcasting.

Hello! [ he waves, grinning brightly. ] You know, it's a bit rude to eavesdrop. Then again, it's not your fault. Automatic turn-on feature, like I said. If you managed to hear that, earlier. Now, let's see! Who all is here, hmm? Could we have a roll call?

If that's possible. There is a commenting feature on this, isn't there? ... yes, there is. Thought so.

And don't be shy! We're all aliens here. Oh, right. Introductions. I'm the Doctor, the Caretaker, or, if you like, John Smith. No, nevermind, no, not John Smith. Just the Doctor. How about you all?

[deadwhisperer]

Oh! So it's just a technical term.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

As opposed to?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Like an insult or something.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

No, no, alien isn't an insult. It's just a category. Like, brunette. Blonde. Not much insult in those.

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Ohhh...that's a relief! Good then.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Be proud! You're an--is it Minoaian?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Planet Minoa, continent Ediacara, region Micah!

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Micah! Oh, that sounds nice. What's it like, in Micah?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Uh, well...not a lot of forest! It's mostly for farming and stuff, but it's pretty nice.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Oh, so you're a farmboy?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

M-me? No, no... I lived in a village near the forest there. We didn't really have any...farm-y things there. Gardens, but no farms.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Oooh, a forest. What did you do? Go hunt? Plant things?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Plant things! We had a garden, my mom and I.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Planning on planting a garden here?

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

I hadn't really thought about it actually. I kind of just...arrived. I have no idea what's happening.

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Oh. Well. In that case, I'd still suggest it. A bit of home can help settle and clear your head.

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

Well yeah but I kind of...travel. I don't want it to die out after I make it!

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Doubt anyone here would just let it wilt. Tell you what: if you're not there, I'll take care of it.

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

--You would? Really??

[audio]

[amajestictale]

Don't see why not!

[audio]

[deadwhisperer]

That's really kind of you, um.... --Sorry, what was your name again?
