Okay, is this thing worki--yeah, it's... I'm in the frame? I... yeah. Right.

[The cowboy straightens, clears his throat, hooks his thumb in his belt, and gives the communicator his most calm and collected scowl. All a matter of looking like none of this bothers you, even when it's a hideous mess. Which this is looking like it is. Business as usual.]

All right, folks, this is Marshall Sparks Nevada, representative of the Mars-Earth coalition. I know this place likely ain't on either planet, but this whole business jumped up to the top of my priority list. Mostly on account've all my other business is in another dimension, so you know, whatever.

Point is, here, I'm gonna hafta ask all've you to provide a list of your name, your home planet... the planet you were last on, if'n those two ain't the same... what space-year you're from, and your dimensional zip code.

Reckon I may have a ways afore we're gettin' out of here proper, but more I can know about how far-spread a problem this is, the more appropriate charges can be put on the culprits for this nonsense once I wrap it all up.

[Dude you have no idea how complicated a little thing like a name can be.]

They're the same thing to everyone I know.

[Sigh. Maybe some kinda underdeveloped planet with a less developed language than his.]

Fine, sure, whatever, what world're you from.

[Or just, you know, Kingdom Hearts.]

...I was born in Castle Oblivion, technically, but I'm more familiar with the Destiny Islands.

[SCHWEET DODGE.]

Not that it really matters, because pretty much everyone is from somewhere different.

[Did you think that no one thought to ask this before you or something, dude?]

...Those are places, kid, not worlds.

Yeah, picked up on that, but "loads of places" ain't gonna do me much good when I write up the report, is it?

[The look you're getting is very much a "who's high and mighty now" look.]

Isn't Earth just a fancy way of saying "dirt"? That's what they're called.

[Oh, would you look at how quick his face goes dark.]

Hey, let's clear up one thing right now, buckaroo. Earth's... the best.

Dunno what sort of whacked out shortsighted culture it takes to name a whole world after a landmark, maybe you can't tell a proper name when you hear one, Not Riku.

[Like this kid knows when to back down.]

Really? Because if it's full of jerks like you, it can't be too great.

[He heaves a slow breath through his teeth.]

Naw, 's full of folks who have better things to do than bicker with uppity teenagers.

Right, whatever. Good luck getting back to your unremarkable dirt world.
