[This video opens up to a redheaded guy in what looks like a pretty tiny apartment kitchen. Anyone who attends Kaisou High School will likely recognize him as the music teacher]

Erm...is this some kind of phishing or crypto scam? Because you're really wasting you're time if it is, I'm broke. If you need proof, I can show you my cupboard of ramen and eggs.

[He sighs, muttering to himself anxiously]

I really don't need this right now...

[Rhel carefully sets her Litwick down on the floor with an apologetic smile.]

My apologies. Everyone I've spoken to since arriving seems to have some idea of what all of this...nonsense is. I am assuming this is all very, very new for you?

[fiddlestick]

[Did they huh? Was he really that out of the loop?]

Eheh....yeah, very new. The closest thing I ever did to the occult was use a Ouija board once at party.

[thaumewturge]

A what board?

[fiddlestick]

Oh, it's a game. Some people think you can use it to contact spirits in the afterlife, but I don't know if that's actually true.

I tried it once at a party once because I was a little curious, but all I got was "apple taters" and I'm pretty sure the person I was doing it with did that on purpose.

[thaumewturge]

...Hearing that that sort of thing is a game here has me slightly concerned. Where I'm from, that is a very, very good way to summon voidsent and get possessed.

[fiddlestick]

Really? Is where you're from very superstitious or religious...?

[thaumewturge]

Well, I suppose that's one way to look at it. It's just, well, when you are very much aware of things such as voidsent--beings from the Void, usually demonic--and ghosts are the sort of thing any adventurer worth their salt gets called into handle, you're a bit more wary about anything that says it will let you communicate with them. And that of course isn't even going into the primals...

[fiddlestick]

[.....]

Annnd I'm lost again. But ok, don't use the Ouija board again. Got it.

[Sorry Rhel but that was so much at once and hes still coming to gripes here]

[thaumewturge]

That might be for the best, yes. Sorry, would it have helped if I'd started these explanations with "I was a teacher for several years" and "I'm not from your star"? The first one, at least, seems to explain enough to most people...

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, as a teacher myself, I'm pretty sure our job is to explain things in a clear way to students....

[Which that was not clear]

The not from your star thing does explain. So you're one of those people from another place the others mentioned?

[thaumewturge]

In my defense, the students I taught were from my star?

[She's learning, okay.]

And yes, that is correct. I am from a star known as Hydaelyn.

[fiddlestick]

Right....

Uh, to clarify - by star is that a fancy way to say planet or do you mean an actual star?

[thaumewturge]

The former, I believe. I've never heard the term "planet" before arriving here, but I think they're the same.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, I see! That's...a little confusing.

Stars are what we classify the sun here. Giant burning balls of fire, you know? Not really somewhere people can live.

....At least I think, my reality's been challenged a lot the past twenty minutes.

[thaumewturge]

Oh, is that what the sun is meant to be? Interesting. Still, I would hope that is still the same?

[fiddlestick]

[he sighs]

Who even knows anymore.

[Seems he's already moved onto to the stage where he embraces "NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE THIS IS FINE"]

[thaumewturge]

[Well, the quicker the better?]

My apologies again for confusing you. Rhel Fashonti, it is nice to meet you.

[fiddlestick]

Aha, it's ok. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to not be confused right now.

Elliot Craig. Nice to meet you Rhel.
