[ Those viewing the network will be greeted with the sight of a young man with red hair and green eyes wearing a tight-lipped smile on his face. He's really trying to keep it together. He's been taken away from his family and friends again. ]

I'm starting to think I'm the punchline to the worst joke in the universe. Though I have to admit this place is a step up from where I spent my last involuntary vacation.

[ Of course his last vacation consisted of him being stuck in the Speed Force for years with only his own thoughts to keep him company. ]

Since it appears I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future, I figured I should introduce myself. My name is Wally. [ Have a wave, people. ] I'm from Earth. Well, an Earth. I would tell you people some more about me, but I'm a pretty boring guy these days.

[ That's not exactly true. But, the purpose behind him addressing the network is to gather any information he can rather than revealing it. ]

So, what's the deal here? I know what the welcoming committee had to say, but you know how they have a habit of making things sound more grandeur than things are. [ Rather, he isn't sure just how truthful they were being. ] There was a lot of weird stuff going on back home and I just want to make sure this isn't connected somehow.

[ He sighs, running a hand through his hair. What is his life. ]

Whatever information I could get would be appreciated. [ He flashes a much more genuine smile. ] Heck, I'd settle for just knowing where the best place to get a drink is.

[ Restlessness is as good a term as any. ]

They did say something about a perimeter guard. Sounded like it would be a good opportunity for me to stretch my legs and that there were plenty of stones left unturned out there.

[ It would allow him to put what skills he does have to good use. ]

Mm, both between the walls and presumably beyond them.

( Mysteries of a society pushing itself back out past where nature and quarantine and history has hemmed them all in. )

[ Wally lets out a playful snort. ]

Maybe I should just look at this like it's a big side-quest in a video game. I just got to run around and do some stuff to level up before I can get back to the main mission.

[ Maybe not the best comparison, but he's essentially been stuck in the state of the art Tower that serves as his team's base of operations with nothing to do but play video games and the like since his return home from the Speed Force. ]

( this sounds like an example that Yuuri would pull out to explain something, so Victor nods, making a noise in agreement when he does so. does he personally do much with video games? no, but when you're engaged to someone who does, you pick up on details. )

Yes! Something like that. Tedious and more work than you might want to have to put into something that you didn't choose on your own, but like any other kind of training, necessary for the end results.
