Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face. Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's guessing he's alive.]

Oh so that button is the same...[Oh. Right. Broadcasting. He clears his throat]

I suppose I should go out on a limb and assume that this was not where I was supposed to end up. For one thing, I've been to most of the planets that like to emulate Lost Jerusalem and this does not look at all familiar. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here? Or at least where this place is? I have to admit I am a little lost.

Well, I try. Yes, looking for work. That's going to be an interesting experience. [He was practically handed his riches at home. Starting that empire up again is going to be a challenge.]

I know what ya mean. [Because what is having a, uh, very stable job?] Still, it's not all that bad. It's even an interesting perspective shift; heck, all of this is.

I suppose not. [He has to laugh again] I suppose this will be good for me.

Perspective, my good man! Look at it positively, and it won't be bad at all. That's life in general, right?

Hah, I suppose you're right there Devola. If you don't have your happiness, you don't have very much.

It's logic that works pretty good, I've found.

Hmm, back to your question... There's a few places around town that are noteworthy, but nothing that seems really pressing to know about, I suppose.

I guess I have some exploring to do tomorrow then. That seems like the best way to go about it. Any places I should avoid?

Avoid? No, nothing really comes to mind. The town's pretty safe twenty-four outta twenty-five times. I guess one of the positive points about all the abandoned and unpopulated areas is that they're not full of unsavory individuals.

I see. Well, that's good to know. Thank you for all your assistance Devola, I should probably let you go.

Sure. M'glad I could help. Tell me when you're settled in and we can bug each other about our respective homes for a bit.

[He chuckles] Of course. You've certainly gotten me quite curious.

That makes two of us! Or, I guess you stoked the flames of curiosity up again? Something like that. I'm rambling. I'll leave you be now, sorry 'bout that.

Quite alright. A healthy dose of curiosity is hardly ever detrimental.

Well, there is that saying about what it does to felines. Then again, to abuse the metaphor, cats have extra lives, so I'm not worried.

It's not even if as if they need those lives most of the time, as they land on their feet if it is at all possible.

Hm. Wouldn't know! Most of the cats I've seen are too busy napping to fall from great heights.

They do that, don't they. But that's just the way they are I suppose.

Mm, must be nice. Not that I've got a hard life myself, but when the only problem you've got in the day is those pesky sunbeams trying to escape you... Well. Like I said, must be nice.

Don't forget the occasional mouse to catch. Even the most housebound of cats still know how to do that.

I think that's just because they like to chase around stuff smaller than they are. Bugs, mice, particularly long blades of grass. Really, anything as long as they've got the size advantage.

Can't blame them for that I guess. Smaller prey is often easier.

True! Though I question the worth of hunting something like grass. All I've seen it do is make the poor things sick when they eat it.

I can't help you there. I'm a businessman, not a veterinarian.

Hmm, y'know, I never really knew what a businessman did. We don't really have any back home, and I've been kind of curious since I heard the term here.

Mind enlightening a poor yokel on the subject?

Not at all. It's not very exciting. Generally it just refers to a person that makes their living in the business sector.
