[Well, hello, City. Have a creepy man standing near the creepy carousel. He's peering closely at the device, fiddling with it a little, then his eyes light up with interest once he realizes it's on. A new toy! When he speaks, his voice is raspy and obviously modified by the device on his face. He drags his s's out, just a touch.]

There we go. How kind of my kidnappers to leave me with this device.

Now, this entire scenario is inconvenient, to say the least. I was in the middle of something. But it would appear I'm hardly the only one in this situation, so I won't bother asking for a way out of the City; I'm sure nobody here has that particular answer. Rescue will come eventually. [Because he's way too valuable to MARS Industries, yup. They'll just send Storm Shadow in to break him out or something.]

In the meantime, I suppose I'll make myself comfortable, provided nothing in the water turns me into a talking, ah. Equine. Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what there is to do to while away our captivity?

Ah, and you can call me... [He smiles, corners of his eyes crinkling.] Doctor.

[Just a helpful doctor. There's nothing villainous about him at all, nope.]

I dunno. I've only been here a couple weeks.

Well, if they're kidnapping children, it's probably safe to assume they're in the unreasonable category. [He says, as if he actually has an objection to it. But he figures normal people would... probably be appalled by it, so he'll pretend he finds it totally distasteful]

Is somebody looking after you?

[Honest answer? Yes. Mindy's answer, however?]

I can take care of myself.

Ah, right. Because you're from New York.

Glad you're paying attention.

[Yes sir that's entirely it sir nothing at all to do with her being a bamf.]

I make an effort to.

[She's much better at hiding her bamfness than he is at hiding his BLATANT EVILNESS.]

[It might be the pigtails.]

Find an apartment. And socialize. Because there's a ticking sound that gets loud if you don't play nice with the other kidnapee's.

A loud ticking sound? You're not about to tell me it's a bomb, are you? [Because nothing else is making sense, so WHY NOT.]

[She doesn't say anything. Just points to her ears and raises an eyebrow. Listen carefully, dude.]

[It's one of those things he wasn't noticing, due to the sounds of his ventilator ~~aka Ros totally forgot that detail~~.]

And it gets louder if you... misbehave.

[~~hugs ros~~. This makes sense.]

Not so much misbehave. It's more this place really wants you to interact with people. Which is bullshit.

I see. [HMPH] It is that. [He can't bring himself to say bullshit because he's a little prude, BUT HE'S CERTAINLY THINKING IT.]

[She says enough swears for at least half the City.]

Do you have a name other than Doctor?

Several. [LIKE COBRA COMMANDER.] None that matter. Doctor is quite sufficient.

It's doing nothing to lower the creepiness factor.

There's nothing wrong with "Doctor." It's what I am, so if nothing else, it's an accurate name. And what's yours?

Doctors are creepy. [She's a kid. This is a valid response.]

Mindy.

Then I suppose I'm in the right line of work.

Speaking of work, you're supposed to get some kinda job. Nothin' stays free here for long.

Kidnapped and put to work. [Well that's... DISTURBINGLY FAMILIAR, ACTUALLY.] I see.

Luckily, I'm sure there are always jobs available for those in the sciences.

Hey, not all of us have to work. I just lucked out and found a job walking a dog within a day of me arriving here. I'm sure you'll find something.
