[ text and voice ] ✉ first transmission in which there are complaints and headaches.
[ the first thing dundee feels like doing is throwing up, which in and of itself is a bit of a feeling he tries to avoid. sure, he's felt like this before, but usually it was after a hard night of partying and to be perfectly honest, he hasn't done that in years. the second thing, the far more important thing for dundee, is that he realizes he's on spaceship of sorts and unlike the worrisome desire to throw up, this revelation causes him to pause.
logically, he doesn't think he should be here, but he is and he doesn't necessarily know how, though the weird pod is a definite possibility to him. he has to force himself to try to stop feeling so disoriented before he gets up to go find something to contact another human being with. (except, perhaps he's alone and- dundee doesn't want to think about that possibility.)
it takes him a bit to find his device, but once he does, he reads everything he can. he figures that there are probably locked bits that he can't see, but unlike some people he knows, he can respect a person's privacy. besides, looking at the locks and the differences between this tech and tech back at home, he thinks even aberdeen or cambridge might have problems with it. (speaking of, he notices a woman with the...name cambridge; it's confusing to him and he's pretty sure that it's just the residual disorientation talking. he makes a not to ask about that, perhaps later.) he notices oxford there and makes a face, not the best company, but it'll do in a pinch. though, dundee doesn't technically count this as necessarily being in a pinch, since in addition to oxford, there's what looks like aberdeen (oh he can recognize her texts anywhere) and durham. potentially five out of a number usually much larger than that. how enjoyable.
after a bit of a wait, dundee finds himself typing away, sending a very simple message that will make no sense to certain people, but will make enough sense to the people he wants it to. ]
if the city dundee means anything to any of you, i believe that we might want to talk. just for the sake of talking, perhaps.
[ he then flips it to voice. he's hardly vain, but he'd prefer not to show off how he might look right now to everyone else. not yet at least. ]
Out of curiosity, whose brilliant idea was it to make this transfer, I believe you'd call it, here, come with the feeling of being hungover. Had I have known, I would have packed pain medication in my bag so that I could take something when I got here. I would just honestly like to point out that hangovers are not a way to endear yourself to people. Odd, I know, but it's the truth.
Speaking of, does anyone have anything on hand in the realm of pain medication or should I just burrow into some form of a bed and come out once I feel better?

voice;
it's a pleasant surprise.
his own reply is open curiosity in place of any truly defensive response. ]
I was under the impression that verbal specification was an effective means of promoting clarity and thus better understanding one's circumstances. Is this incorrect?
voice;
it appears he wasn't wrong.
his tone takes on an almost pleased quality once he responds. ]
No, it's quite correct, but the issue with verbal specification is that sometimes an individual doesn't understand the word you're using or might have trouble comprehending it due to extenuating circumstances. For instance, the effects of the blue liquid we were in would potentially cause some issues with full understanding.
It's not that what you're doing is incorrect, it's just that the specific wording you're using is slightly out of place. All you need to do to make it slightly more relevant is to simplify the words you're using.

In fact, it's actually slightly enjoyable to even hear it.
