[hey what up. this is Bolin's face. NOW IN BEAUTIFUL 3D! up close and personal. say hi to it!]

Oh hi. This doohickey was in my pocket. I'm...not really sure how it got there! But it has a lot of buttons and I figured if I pushed enough of them, something would happen. Probably a terrible life decision but I've been known to make terrible life decisions from time to time.

[paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuse]

Soooooo. Here I am. Talking at weird technology. Alone. By myself. Yup! That is what I do.

[some angry tittering, and Pabu the fire ferret runs up Bolin's shoulder and shoves his nose in Bolin's ear.]

Eesh, sorry buddy, sorry! I didn't mean alone alone.

[a pause, as man and fire ferret stare at each other. then Bolin faces the camera again.]

I am lost and confused and apparently I missed a few huge details in the time it took me to travel from where I was to where I am. I might be damaged goods.

Help.

Oh, hey, it's the confused guy. You haven't changed in a week.

voice;

[zipperbent]

I...haven't? This is news to me. Not that I make it a habit to change my behavior patterns from week to week.

[beifongbandit]

Well, not that you remember it, but you were here a little while ago. Welcome back! Now you're here to stay. Forever.

[sixwinged]

You're in a place called the City. That device you're talking to connects you to everyone else here, and you're not damaged goods for not knowing how you got here.

[zipperbent]

[OH. WHOA. You've got Bolin and Pabu both crowding their faces unnecessarily close to the screen.

then Bolin cups a hand around his mouth and whispers loudly:]

We're communicating.

[charring]

If you point the device around you for a moment, I can find you and help.

[zipperbent]

[oh. okay. so it's true the communicators connect to a bunch of other people. okay. we can...work with this.]

Point it, huh?

[it starts off as innocent pointing. it really does. but then he can't resist swooping the device around and making sound effects.]

OOOOohhhhh what am I doing. Let's try this again.

[IT'S BETTER NOW, HONEST.]

[tangledintower]

[Oh, Punzie remembers her first time with the device. She almost broke it.]

Don't worry, you're not damaged goods, this place is just really confusing and weird. Especially when you first get stuck here.

[zipperbent]

[sob, teach him the ways of the device, Rapunzel.]

Oh, good. I feel somewhat better now that I know this is a shared experience. Somewhat.

action?

[metaman]

[In today's performance, Abed will be playing the role of Jimmy Tong. He's running around in a tuxedo - where'd he get it? who knows.

He grabs for Bolin's arm.]

Slowly. Don't look behind you.

action!

[zipperbent]

[OH GOD. OH GEEZ. OH MAN. SUDDEN ARMGRAB. Bolin's first instinct is to try to spin around, but he catches himself so abruptly that he jars his shoulder.]

Ow! Ow. Ouch. I'm not looking. I am the picture of a person who does not look. [he is flexing his fingers a little bit though. there's earth around. if he's gotta, he'll give whoever this dude is a friendly...er, nudge.]

[video]

[claimyourself]

From a time before cell phones, huh?

[video]

[zipperbent]

Oh, cell phones! Sure, sure.

[...........]

Nope. Not ringing a bell.

[errandry]

How damaged are we talking?

[zipperbent]

Well, I can still form coherent sentences, which is a good sign

[ video ]

[pratful]

...

Are you an idiot?

[ it's not for anything Bolin's said per say, but rather, simply, that he just randomly decided to push all the buttons on a strange artifact without knowing what it was!

Even Arthur had better sense then that. At least it's, in the end, harmless enough. For now. ]

[ video ]

[zipperbent]

Look-

[..............he can't even defend himself.]

I am having an off day. It happens. You don't need to be all smug about it.

[merespark]

Is that your cat?

I didn't know bringing animals was allowed.

[zipperbent]

[stare. mr. spitfire honestly.]

Pabu is of the distinguished line of fire ferrets, my friend. Observe his majestic countenance. [at this, Pabu straightens to his full height- while still balanced on Bolin's shoulder -and totally hams it up. Bolin spreads his hands in a 'see? amazing' sort of gesture.]

But on a more serious note, why wouldn't it be allowed?

video;

[anunluckypenny]

Hey there. Is everything making sense? Do you have a place to stay?

video;

[zipperbent]

Hello! [wave] Nothing is making sense and we don't have a place to stay. Not yet, anyhow.

[worldofourown]

Dear Mr. Lost & Confused.

You're in the proverbial port for damaged goods.

Private/text LMAO MY CODING

[zipperbent]

Wait what.

[virginwings]

That's, uh- [such a cute animal~]

Your memory is just fine, the gods here don't want you to remember how you got here, I think.

video;

[zipperbent]

[Pabu is the cutest, yes. :3]

They also don't want me to remember where my dignity went, apparently.
