Where are the voices coming from...?

I dinnae what a 'netbook' is. The wee woman wasnae very helpful ...

[There are sounds of movement from the netbook, but the picture is dark. It takes a moment or two of rustling around before something comes into view. It's blurred from quick movement, and then an eye appears, filling the screen. It's brown.]

What are ye, now? [The voice is male with a Scottish accent. The picture pulls back to show a man's face; wild dark blonde hair with grey at the temples, a mustache and soul patch that's serving for a beard, and a scowl that conveys a great deal of attention paid to the netbook.]

Magical box. With voices! Well, bugger me. At least it's got a wee typewriter attached.

[tap tap tap on the screen]

'allo, people in the box! What're ye doin' in there?

[ Nineteen thirty-something? What had happened to this man that he did not even remember what year it was? ]

There are all types of people here. Some are not even people. Some look like people, but claim to be other sorts of beings. Frankly, the possibility that the transports are chosen at random is starting to seem more and more likely.

apologies for lateness... I was ill

Androids. Aliens. Trolls. Whatever they call themselves, they are all distinctly non-human.

I am most certainly not. But I do understand not believing in such individuals until you see them for yourself. [ A pause. ] You will, soon enough.
