[A slightly fuzzy but then suddenly crisp clear face appears, looking into the screen with barely-there nervousness. He wasn't camera shy, but there were things out here that he should be anxious about being found by. Clears his throat softly before speaking, glancing off quickly to one side when he heard something move in the distance]

Ah, hello. My name's Eugene and I have a request, for any listeners out there...

[Pauses a second to gather his thoughts, brows knitting together as he gives a thoughtful look to something behind his portable... book thing. Tablet?]

I apologize if I've... wound up with someone's stolen tablet--

[Laughs a little nervously but continues on]

But I could use some help out here. Ah, I'll give it back? I didn't actually steal it, I sort of found it... out here. In the woods.

[And hopefully the owner of said tablet wasn't already dead. Hopefully he wasn't alone. The thought makes him swallow hard]

I'm gonna look for a stick in the meantime. Thanks in advance! Stay safe out there!

[Grins a little but it's obvious he's unsure, waving his fingers next to his face before cutting the signal]

Comments

Trust me Mr. Elric, this place is likely better than our... home world in every single facet imaginable. Minus the missing my friends part...

[Clears his throat again, sounding relieved]

Anyway, no need to lament that part, these things you just can't help. Stay safe out there!

[Winces at the habitual comment in goodbye, but he'd gotten used to ending everything that way where he's from]

[Stay safe? What a weird way to... whatever, oh well. Everyone's got their own quirks. Between that and his comment about this being better than home? Doesn't paint a pretty picture.]

Yeah, uh... you too. See you around.

[He shuts the book, still curious, but he's not going to be nosy with a stranger over the journal. He'll remember this, though. (Especially the tablet thing...)]
