Entry II | Video
[The sight that appears on your device's screens is that of a wall of smoke, and hopefully you had the speakers turned down because the fire alarms they use here aren't exactly pleasant on the ears. For a minute that's all there is, smoke obscuring vague shapes and the sound of the alarm screeching its head off, but if you stick with it you soon see a shape start moving in through the black clouds, the sound of coughing audible under the alarm. Finally, Reya emerges from the smoke, her hand over her mouth.]
Enough!
[She gestures and shoots two little red orbs off in different directions. There's a loud crack and the sound of glass breaking, and suddenly the alarm disintegrates into static, and the smoke starts to lessen, just slightly. A gust of magically conjured wind speeds it along.]
May Ithilids starve themselves on the brains of whatever sadist designed these infernal machines!
[She turns back to the camera, wiping soot from her cheek.]
I'm certain the one who wrote the instructions on the back of our food is either long dead or not very concerned with my plight, but I would like to inform those providing it that not every world uses whatever absurd system you people have for measuring the passage of time.
[Coughing as she tries to take a calming breath]
Since I find myself with the choice of continually risking burning down my residence, starvation, or throwing myself upon the kindness of others, I am hoping some among you might be willing to explain 'minutes' and 'seconds' to me, as well as the proper use of this 'mi-crow-wave' device?
Also, to those living with me, I apologize for the mess, [She glances over her shoulder] and the window. I'll clean it up as soon as I'm able.
[OOC: Basically, Reya tried to use the microwave, and coming from a world where time measurement is based on people's best guess she made a botch job of it. Roommates feel free to action tag]

He's from a generic D&Desqe setting, so...

Faerun? Maztica? Kara Tor? None of these ring a bell?
I suppose that would lend weight to the theory that the ilithids came from another plane. I find the idea that more than one world could birth such monsters very depressing.

Unless you count being summoned here, that is.

Given we're clearly not in the Prime Material Plane anymore, I should say it counts.
