[ Video ]

[ The video opens on the scowling visage of a young man with disheveled, very vibrant orange hair. It’s slightly off-center, and at an upward slanted angle that suggests the comm device is being held in his lap. For a moment, all he does is stare at it. And scowl. The longer he does it, the deeper and more frustrated the scowl becomes before he mutters under his breath. ]

This’s so stupid.

[ He clears his throat and speaks again, this time at a normal volume. His voice is flat, with just the faintest hint of irritation. ]

My name is Kurosaki Ichigo. I arrived three- no, four days ago.

[ He pauses briefly, as though he isn’t sure how to continue. Or maybe he knows and he’s simply trying to choose his words with care. Whatever the case, he works it out quickly enough that his hesitation isn’t particularly noticeable. ]

There’s no way to get in touch with the people back home, right? Or… [ A sigh. ] Does anyone know why we’re here? Or what we’re supposed to do?

it'll probably be the trolls for me. whenever they show up

We can't look at the sun either. Well, we can, but it'll ruin our eyes if we do. But you said about us being diurnal. Does that mean you can only go outside at night?

Hey, don't apologize. It's not your fault. We're both in this stupid mess together.

the first ones appear in pesterlogs in act 3, but you don't SEE them until act 5

As we are nocturnal? Yes. This could be largely in part due to being hatched in the subterranean levels of our planet.

Stupid mess? I am not sure how stupid it really is. We do not know why this is happening, actually.

oh man. I'll just buckle down and prepare for a long wait

[1stguardian]

Hatched?

That's part of what makes it stupid. We can't do whatever it is we were brought here to do if we don't know what it is.

well there are funny things!

[sermonize]

We trolls hatch out of eggs.

Now who is to say that we were brought here for a specific role?

awesome!

[1stguardian]

Oh. Really? That's pretty cool.

Why else would we be brought here? I don't know about you, but I didn't choose to come here. I didn't even know there was a here until I woke up in that thing.

and watch as Signless changes to voice

Believe me, I would rather be with those that I care deeply for. While I do acknowledge that the disappearance of the original crew and our arrival are linked, I doubt that there is true purpose to it. A young human girl seems to think otherwise.
