[ Hello, have your new 010 » 111 pop up on the network. The video turns on to show someone obviously in their room. He's sitting on the bed and he has the comm resting in his hands on his lap, it's facing him -- even if it's a little off center. His fingers run over the buttons on the device and he clears his throat, ready to speak at the indication that the video is recording.

And yet, the video is upside down. ]

Just a friendly reminder to whoever is in charge that, if you are in fact going to abduct someone from their work and home into outer space -- you might want to reconsider picking a blind man. For one, stars? Completely wasted on me.

[ A slight quirk of his lips up at that. ]

And to... any friendly listeners out there, a brief rundown of this place from someone who isn't a native would be exceptional. I'm sure there's a welcome sign around here but, well, [ He tilts his head just a bit and shrugs lightly. ]

I think that covers it. Nice to meet you, I'm sure you're all very pretty.

[ And then he grins and hangs up. ]

It's a dead giveaway. [A smile.] Now you know for certain. I've travelled around the world though.

How about you?

Lots of traveling here too. I go to Istanbul every year for a certain jazz festival -- in fact, I just got back from there before I got pulled here. I really hope this side trip won't come out of my paycheck though.

Here's hoping that it won't. [And now she's wondering what he does for a living.] I have never been to the jazz festival there before. How good is it?

Exceptional. I'd play you the samples I recorded but... gear's not here, obviously.

Now that's a pity. Suppose I'll just have to use my imagination then.

The best jazz you can find in a small village halfway across the world. It's really great.

If I ever leave here, I should try and catch it for myself one time.

It's kind of one of those tiny locals only kind of thing, if I'm honest. Spreads mostly through word of mouth but I'm sure you can find it.

As it happens, I'm very good at finding out information that I need. But thanks for the vote of confidence.

[ not as good as meeee is what he is saying in his head ehehe ]

No problem. I aim to please.

Well, it's been a pleasure but I should probably let you go. Unless you need anything else?

[ Holds up his hands to gesture nothing. ]

Not a thing on this end. See ya.
