one. [video]
[To begin, there is a blurry image of freckled cheek and ginger hair, which slowly comes into focus as wildly air-dried post-saltwater swim and rather full of sand. Sean is wide-eyed and twitchy and not exactly the most technologically savvy person in the world even when he isn't confused and fighting off panic and entirely uncertain of what this piece of electronics is meant to do, so bear with him as the video blinks in and out.]
How do you work this--
[Spotting the image of himself as he leans back to show his location - an expanse of the same kind of sand that's in his hair - he shoves the fingers of both hands into the tangled mess on his head with the intent of ruffling some of the beach out but that just ends with a facial twitch and dropping his left arm back to his side, right hand coming up to grip his shoulder.]
Hnn. Uh, hello? Anybody getting this? [He shifts his weight, winces, and all but falls over in his attempt to free his sore leg. The end result is that the video is now just a view of his side and the empty ocean visible beyond as he gives up and just sprawls there.] If anybody's listening, I'm really wet and it's really cold and I could prob'ly use a medic.
And maybe some idea where I am. ... Or where Alex is.
[The rest is all blips of static and lapping waves.]

Chase'll probably come patch you up. Don't hold the whole being an Aussie thing against him - it's hard not to be cranky with y'know spider-octopus-sharks of death.
video;
Spider-octo-what? [Says the kid who considers blue scaly dragon girls and fuzzy monsters his family, right? The device will now move to show his face. Hello.] I mean, who? 's long as I'm not being taken by the Russians.
[You are being stared at, Stiles, because you are on this fascinating new machine.]
video;
[ Wait, he should probably explain. ] So you've been teleported into a new world of lame-ass curses and random people and deities. You can't escape because the deities wouldn't have anyone to feed to the zombies/hippos/insert monster of the week.

[ No, it's probably not meant to make sense but then again Stiles has a little bit of cabin fever and he's ... amused? ]
Maybe concussion, maybe just me. How many fingers am I holding up? [ Lifting his arm -- that is still in the cast and therefore obscured. ] Man, I am an awful doctor.

video;
So like your guardians or whatever are already here - and awesome by the way, they are awesome. They'll probably find you in like five seconds.
video;
Yeah, they've got a way with finding. [Like once upon a time at this aquarium-- Wait.] ...who are you?
video;
Keeper of information and also nerd god.

And what are you wearing?

You're Luke. Aren't you?

[In case anyone was wondering if Charles is above commandeering an emergency vehicle and the first competent hospital staffer he encounters the answer is...NO.]

Re: video;
[Charles walks up to a paramedic, smiles, and says "I'm in need of some assistance." The man nods, lets Charles in the ambulance, and off they go.]
Alex is fine but he's not here. I'll explain when we reach you.
video;
Wait. What d'you mean he's not-- [There's an edge of that panic again.] He was just with me.
video;
Just breathe. Alex is fine.
video;
His tone might give the impression of a kicked puppy.]
How long's it take to get here?

action
He comes running towards the fallen figure, shouting ahead,] Hello! Are you okay over there?
action
Sweet lord in Heaven, 'm not in purgatory. [Sorry. Everything is just too weird for him to handle with a mild concussion.] So much better now I'm not alone.
action
Man, are you okay? You fell out of nowhere.
Hmm. [He looks over his disheveled state.] You must be new. Usually new people land by the fountain, but I don't see why they couldn't land here. Sorry I'm not a doctor, but I can give you a ride into town if you don't mind motorcycles.
action
[There's a moment of physical settling, then he offers Miles a faint grin. I-- Yeah, I'm fine. I think. Mostly. Thanks. Motorcycle ride doesn't sound too good right now, though.

Is someone coming to help you yet?
video:
Yeah. Yeah, thanks. [A pause.] So this is normal?

Congratulations.

Hello. Welcome to the City.

Unless you are not Luke. Did you steal his face?
[Video] and now begins the future saga of accidentally duplicated icons

Someone's coming along to look at that, right?
