[The video feed turns on the show the face of a rather serious-looking young man wearing a very fancy suit... a very fancy suit that looks although it's been slept in for the past two days.
He's very slowly coming to terms with the fact that this isn't all some sort of absurd dream, and has decided that perhaps it's time to introduce himself. And he's prepared.]
Good morning.
To those of you who are listening to this message, my name is Miles Edgeworth and I am a prosecuting attorney. There is still much that I do not know about this world, and I would welcome all information anyone would care to provide, or directions to a place where I might uncover more about this place for myself.
After all, if am forced to remain here, then I expect to be informed of all aspects of my current situation in its entirety, from as many different sources as possible. I do not presume to speak for all of you, but I, for one, do not care to work for a cause that resorts to such underhanded dealings such as abduction and much worse to achieve its goals.
[Underhanded, but not to mention preposterous. These sort of happenings should be confined to science fiction novels where they could remain. Unread. But he continues nonetheless.]
You, as a 'transport' who has also arrived under circumstances similar to myself, are the ones most likely to understand and share this belief of mine. I can only hope that you will be willing to assist me in this matter.
That's all, and thank you for your attention.

Is this 'Alternia' the name your species has given to their planet?

So, then, where did you go?

[ He's not even going to ask what 'game session' means in this context. Not right now, anyway. ]
video; I have wanted to do this post for a while, and you are now my guinea pig. 38)
[ She ducks off screen for a moment, and when she comes back up, she has a pad of paper and some colored pencils in hand. She scribbles something on one, and holds it up. ]
This is Alternia, my home planet! Not to scale, but you get the ideas.
[ Back to the pad she goes, adding on to the drawing. ]
The Empress has all the adult trolls out conquering the galaxy for her! She's rude, and I don't like her, but she has been to a lot of different planets.
[ And again! This time she starts a new one similar to the first, but embellishes a bit more. ]
So then we played a game called Sgrub because we had to and that's when the meteors came to the planet and killed just about everything on it. But then you wonder! What about all the trolls in space? Well, that is a whole other story, but when my lusus died, she let out the Vast Glub and that killed all of the other trolls left in our universe, except for the Empress.
Still with me? We are almost done! The good thing is that most of my friends were already in the Medium before that happened.
[ It's back to the drawing board! This one takes a lot longer and a larger variety of colors before she's finally done. ]
The bright blue, that's Skaia, and this little yellow one is Prospit and all these around the inside of the circle are our personal planets. That's the Medium! Then this gray ring is the Veil, and outside of the Veil is Derse! I can tell you about the war between Prospit and Derse later and all of those really fun game mechanics, but all twelve of these planets? Those are the kinds of planets I have been to, and Derse, too!

He is very appreciative of the diagrams, though, as they prevent him from becoming too lost.
... What a fantastic tale. ]
... So, what is this Sgrub? And what in the world is a lusus? [ And this Vast Glub - some kind of bomb? ]
video;
These next questions she answers much more easily though]
Sgrub is a game, and a lusus is like our parent, because trolls don't have moms and dads.
video;
... Yes, you did mention that it was a game. But what type of game was it, and what do you mean by 'you had to'?
video;
video;
What do you mean by 'get into the game'?

[ He's seriously misinterpreting the pictures if that was covered in the drawings! ]
A verbal explanation will suffice.
[ He hopes. ]

That start is fine.

I think we're done talking about me, now, why don't we talk about you instead?
video;
His tone remains clipped: ]
What about me.

As I said earlier, I'm a prosecuting attorney. I'm from Los Angeles in California, which is a state of the United States of America. It's supposed to be the year 2012. [ Interests, interests, what are those. He gives a standard answer. ] In addition to my field of work, I've also a keen interest in chess and tea.

You've been to California.
