[ Here you have a boy of about twelve, standing tensely under a tree, hair dripping. He hesitates, then addresses the camera with a little nod of hello, as though he's not quite sure he's done it right.
He used to be middle-aged and respectable, he'll not tolerate an entire crowd of strangers calling him Rupert. So. ]
I'm speaking as, um, a new arrival. My name is Giles.
I understand that there are... others like me. I don't intend to stay. But--
[ He turns-- the camera wobbles, he's never touched video chat before in his life-- to show the Ponyta standing mildly beside him, fire-mane spitting in the rain. ]
This fellow has been, um, keeping me company. The so-called handbook tells me next to nothing-- how many creatures are there? Are they all of an-- elemental nature? Is the rain a danger to him?
[ And, unthinkingly, with a high edge of irritation: ]
Where does the bloody irritating music come from?
[ Anyone in New Bark will find him at the foot of the route, stroking through the flames of his Ponyta's mane with a look of delighted fascination. He's hesitating, in the way of someone deciding how safe it is to ride a horse partly made of fire. ]

I can't tune it to something else? Something that more resembles music?

[ He hesitates. ]
Have you been here very long?

Re: video
People do return home?
Re: video
It is also possible to return. When I first arrived, one of my coworkers who happened to be here, as well, informed me that I'd been here two separate times before. Yet, I have no recollection of these earlier visits.
Re: video
[ He should probably be more alarmed, but mostly he looks fascinated. The memory loss is interesting-- and that he doesn't remember any sort of portal or moment of transport-- ]
What do we know about the means of arrival? Or, um, departure? [ There must be something. ]
Re: video
[ That last bit makes his eyebrow twitch a bit, but he pauses to regain his composure. ]
Next, I found myself waking up in that odd woman's house.
Re: video
Odd is an understatement. And there's no known connection between... arrivals? [ Perhaps if they've all been exposed to similar... something. ]
