[So there is a very worried looking young man staring at the camera. They said other people could see him with this. That he can just talk and they'd see it. It's still strange to him, but he's supposed to deal with being told he's a 'fictional', right? Right. So after a few long moments, Ryu speaks.]

Um... I'm Ryu... I'm new here, I guess... uh...

[He shakes his head. This is too hard to take in.]

I don't understand any of this. How could I not be real? I just need to get home. I need to find him. I need to go back.

[No one's here that he knows. He'd asked.]

I don't know what to do...

[... He's not sure what else to say, so he reaches over and turns the video off.]

... And no one has any idea why. That's... strange.

[He'd wonder if there were any Endless around, but he's not sensing any and most of them are probably not capable of that kind of thing.]

You see our predicament.

I should warn you, try to stay away from any animals at present. The current events seems to include them all acting much more aggressively than usual.

[unfadingdragon]

Huh? There's a problem with them? I can help. I'm good with animals.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Given how illogical most of these events are, I'm not actually certain how much being good with animals will help. You can certainly try, simply be warned that such an attempt is dangerous and they might not react how you would expect.

[unfadingdragon]

I'm tougher than you might think, actually...

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah - I was not expressing any judgement on your abilities or how tough I think you might be. I was simply commenting from experience with the island.

I suppose that 'dangerous' would probably depend on which animals you chose to attempt to help, but seeing as we have a wolf pack and several large cats in the forest, as well as a velociraptor somewhere in town, I figured it more prudent to err on the side of caution in my warnings.

[unfadingdragon]

Is that it? I thought you were talking about something like a Trean or a Trunked.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

[... Welp.]

To be completely honest, I've never heard of either of those before.

From your reaction, however, I would guess that they are animals more dangerous than a velociraptor or a wolf pack, and that you have experiencedealing with creatures that dangerous.

Very well, then, any help you could provide would be immensely appreciated.

[unfadingdragon]

Even with five or six people we had trouble with them. Their trunks were really tough to get through.

[He nods at that.]

I'll do what I can!

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Let me know if you have any more questions.

[He gets a nod and a smile in return.]

Good luck.

Thanks!
