Who: The Eccentric, along with anyone he meets.
What: Please see here!
When: MONDAY afternoon/evening.
Where: The central plaza, right where the portal was.
Summary: YOU MAY USE ACTION TAGS SHOULD YOU SO DESIRE. Characters are free to come across this strange little hologram.
Rating: Uhhh idk. Whatever happens. Probably not above PG.

[Where there once was a blue disc that stood as the "Gate" through which Lucetians could pass through, there is now a blue figure that has the appearance of a poor-quality hologram or a ghost. It's a little old man, and he's very eager to talk to anyone that passes by.]

Hello? Hello! Excuse me, could I ask you some questions?

Well, yeah. That's why I ended up guarding this thing.

[Adell folds his arms over his chest.]

Anyone who stepped through it ended up someplace else in Luceti. And then could only talk like an animal. One girl I know ended up sounding like a cow.

What?! [The figure drops his cane, he's so surprised.]

[Adell thinks about reaching down to get it for him. ...But he's a ghost. Right, he can't.]

What? Do you know something about it?

Do I- Young made, I made it!

You made the portal? ...Well, I guess I've heard stranger things.

I'm guessing having us get flung around here and ending up sounding like livestock wasn't part of the plan, then?

No! Ohhh, this can't be, this cannot be! I worked on that formula for so long. [The hologram shakes his cane in great indignation.] I missed my favorite television show to finish that!

...You guys get television up there? Lucky.

[A beat.]

Wait a second. So you were trying to send us home? ...Were you the one who wrote the letters?

...oh, do we? Receive television? What's on, anything decent?

[Mildly deadpan.]

You just said you got TV. We don't get it down here, you tell me.

Did I say that? [The hologram presses a hand to his forehead, perplexed.] ...gracious, now I can't remember. Now look what you've done.

[Adell resists the urge to put a palm to his face.]

Sorry. But... the formula. You said you made a mistake... were you trying to get us all home?

I did not make a mistake! I carried the four!

...So do you suppose your project was interfered with?

Well, that could be it. Or I might have made a mistake.

[...Facepalm. We just went over this...Sure hope I don't get senile when I get older.]

Okay... so. The gate was meant to take us home, but something went wrong.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but why would you help us? Seems most of the people in charge are really only interested in keeping us for data study. Surely this must've been a huge risk for you...

What is life without risks? My, you take a risk simply walking down the street, don't you? Besides, I like all of you.

Heh, yeah. I guess that was kind of a silly question. And it's good to know someone out there likes us. I mean, the portal may not have worked... but thank you for trying to help us.

If at first you don't succeed!

...I'm not sure how that finishes. Other world adages are so strange. "If at first you don't succeed...have a glass of beer?"

It's "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." ...The beer thing's not a bad alternative, though.

But I'd prefer just not giving up. You're only defeated the moment you admit it!

My, but that was inspirational. Yes sir, I shall do my best to repair this gate!

Great! All of us here are hoping for you, I'm sure! Was there anything else you needed to ask me?

Nope nope, I think that's about it!

Okay. I'm Adell, by the way. ...Though you might've known already.

No, sir, I certainly did not! It's a pleasure to learn your name!
