001 | VIDEO.

[Cue a young boy about 13 pacing back and forth along the beach. He's got a white hat on and a green backpack on his shoulders, but what's most notable about this kid is the look on his face.]

Uh.

[He notices the video on and tries to mask his face with a grin. LIGHT BREATHS, LIGHT BREATHS. JUST IMAGINE SOME NICE WATER FLOWING. YOU'RE NOW ON AN ISLAND AND SOME CUTE LITTLE BIRDS ARE FLYING AROUND AND THERE'S THE OCEA-- AHHH]

Ok. So I'm like totally not panicking. Nope.

[He closes his eyes hard, as if this would all go away if he did. He opens them after a moment, shaking his head a couple of times in an attempt to calm down.]

I'm just, uh, really excited! [Loud cough.] Haha, yeah. It's been wicked cool being a fictional character! M-Mathematical!

Also, classes? Huh? Where's South 101? Can someone fill in my brain-nodes on any of that?

it's not that bad.
they spend a lot of time catching people up.
we are all from different worlds and some people never went to school before they got here!
crazy, right?

Oh shoot. Different worlds, you say? Wowzer. So I guess you're kinda like an alien or something, right? Nice to meet you alien bro! I'm Finn.

Yeah, it's totally crazy. I was never a school kind of guy, but I guess I could always just jump into it!

you'll meet the aliens, trust me.
i'm john!

Hey John!

Oh poopers. But that's cool, still!

Like, legit aliens? What do they look like?

[riseup]

gray with horns and increasingly weird typing styles!
you will know them when you seem them.

Woah, that's all sortsa new. I look forward to meeting them, then.
