[T'Challa does not put on the Panther Habit for his first post to the network, preferring to keep the two identities separate for as long as possible. For the duration of his stay, if he can manage it, though it's not he who would tell the others. He cannot vouch for the people from his own world that are here. Not all of them, at least.

He angles his device to capture his face and very little of his surroundings.]

In my culture, death is not the end. It's more of a stepping off point. You reach out with both hands and Bast and Sekhmet, they lead you into the green veld where... you can run forever.

[He'd been told upon his arrival, after many questions, that he was here because he'd felt displaced. While that had not necessarily been true, the thought that this place was something other than what it seemed had crossed his mind. The afterlife possibly, though he did not recall dying - his beliefs dashed that notion rather quickly.]

So this cannot be life after death. Do you accept the answers you have been given or do you challenge them? What was the outcome of such action?

[The feed ends there. It's enough of a start to generate conversation.]

I don't believe this to be the afterlife. I was pulled into this world after stepping onto a different planet.

You can continue to look for clues, for more hints of inconsistency, and try to figure out a way off this moon yourself.

Better than waiting for something else to happen.

[kumkani]

Do you look for a way off this moon, to go back to your home, or are you one of those that were displaced?

[talentedscavenger]

I need to go back to my world. There are things I need to do.

You? Would you go back or choose to stay here?

[kumkani]

So then you were not displaced. Their portals are faulty.

I would go home. There are promises made that need kept.

[talentedscavenger]

Among other things, yes, I wasn’t displaced. Others here, they’ve chosen to stay. I can’t blame them.

Same here. Too many things left undone.

[kumkani]

I do not blame someone for choosing this place if they had no other that they wanted to be.

Precisely. If I find a way to return, then I will share that knowledge with you.

[talentedscavenger]

We could work together, if you want. My friends and I are looking for a way to get back to our world.

[kumkani]

I would like that. You may tell your friends that I am your ally.

[talentedscavenger]

I would tell my friends I have an a new ally, but only after I know their name. [Cause, ha ha they haven't said who they are.]

I'm Rey.

[kumkani]

T'Challa.

I apologize for not introducing myself.

[talentedscavenger]

No apologies needed. It was bound to happen that we introduce ourselves.

Is this place anything like your world?
