（ the image opens on sam, obviously pretty comfortable with being on camera. zoom calls will do that to a guy, even the one who'd prefer by far to be an absolute luddite. ）
Whoever got to bring their Jaeger, text it, I'm mad jealous. Do you do ride-alongs?
（ the gundam. he's talking about the gundam.
of course, he wouldn't have wanted his car here — poor old blue isn't built for offroading, and it's not like this place has a gas station just around the bend. ）
I'm new. Trying to get the lay of the land. Was wondering if anyone's done a headcount yet? The better we're looking after each other, the less likely anyone will slip through the cracks. Somebody goes off and falls down a well, no Lassie to warn us, could be a bad time. This goes double for anyone who doesn't know how to use the comm devices.
I understand not everyone's going to be on board with announcing themselves or handing over their name — that's fine. I don't need anyone to tell their life story or even their real name, just basic identifiers so we have a rough idea of how many people should be here. You also don't have to tell me, but — if there's someone here you think you can trust, let them know if you're going out on your own. Call it a personal favor.
（ sam's spent years working with at-risk kids, he knows how to gentle himself. his tone is mild, his body language is open. not a threat. ）
Name's Sam. I'm from Earth, for the familiar, year 2021. I'm a detective with the Chicago PD, which I know isn't going to make me the most popular guy around — ACAB, trust me when I say I get it. I also served with the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2002-2009. I know a thing or two about a thing or two, but alien planets are a little out of my wheelhouse.
（ a bit of a crooked smile. magic and the like? werewolves? vampires? sure. all that, he can handle (which he wouldn't announce anyway) but the rest? yeah. ）
That said, if anyone needs a second pair of eyes on patrol or someone who can lift heavy shit and doesn't care if I bitch about old football injuries, I'm your man. Peace.

I will profess to slight jealousy about the mech.
As for the apocalypse — okay, you've got my attention.
Time travel really has my attention.
And thank you. I like to think I'm an adaptable guy. Roll with the punches and all that.
'Waking up in an egg' is something I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
（ ironique, since he's a bird. ）

For the record, I can pretty much guarantee you something way weirder than waking up in an egg is gonna happen to you sooner rather than later. That's kind of how it goes.
no subject
And wow, okay, so your 'welcome to eggtopia' speech could use a little spit and polish because that basically just sounded like an existentialist threat. Or a hex.
Please don't hex me, senpai, I want to live.
（ when you spend most of your days with teenagers... ）

both eating them and being them
I'll work on my people skills. I used to be way better at the gentle introduction, I don't know what happened. Maybe it's the dragon. Don't sweat it either way, hexing isn't the kind of magic I do.

— But you've got some kind of magic. Share with the class?
