.... Okay. This working? [Well, it's blinking, that's gotta mean something. Nobody exactly bothered with a manual... Which is just great.] Assuming I'm using this thing right... [Now? He continues with a much firmer tone. But there is a strained edge to it.]

Well, I don't know what your game is and I'm not sure I care, but I hope-- [for your sake--] ... that this is a misunderstanding.

Patch me through to whoever's in charge, or get me the White House on the line. Failing that, directions to— [hnrgh, who is he kidding] Just tell me what the hell you want from me. I don't appreciate being dumped on some island I've never heard of, and I have a feeling that I'm not alone in that.

[Good work guys cutting off all his communications to Mother Base >:V Now he's just irritated and in the mood for a giant robot rampage. You know, if he had one here.]

[Your welcoming party is a jerk, sorry.]

Me? My name's Taro. Who are you?

[survivalism]

[Isn't that how it always is?]

Ah.... Snake. If you know what's going on, now would be a good time to tell me.

[hachitaro]

You're on an island called Prospero. Any supernatural powers you might've had are gone now. You've been given a power called a Persona, which you can call on when you're in danger. There's monsters called Shadows that show up at midnight - the scenery changes then, too.

There's also a hotel you can stay for free at, and they give you coupons for food. There's something about some crazy religious cult around too, but I haven't been around here long enough to really know much about any of it.

[survivalism]

[ .... Hm. ]

That sounds [dumb] exciting and all, but I don't have time for that. How did I even end up here in the first place? And where is this island exactly?

[Sigh. Something tells him the Caribbean is a long way off.]

[Voice]

[hachitaro]

No one knows how we got here. But this place is off the coast of D.C., if you wanna try to go to the White House on your own. I wouldn't recommend it, though - this place is some kind of parallel world.

[Voice]

[survivalism]

So this isn't US territory?

[Huh.]

... Parallel world. [So deadpan.]
