[There's a little girl in semi tattered clothing looking at the screen. She's not sure what's going on so she's settled for looking serious. No she's not scared at all, you're imaging things. It took her a while to figure out how this thing worked but she thinks she has a way to talk to people now. Just going to be calm and serious here.]

I'm looking for a spaceship. We must have crashed and I think some lady took me off it when I was asleep. Only she wouldn't tell me where she took my friends and then kicked me out of her house. So they might still be on the ship. Only, two of them are hurt really bad so I need to find them before anyone tries to take them out of their pods without Ripley there.

[There's a small pause.]

Also my name's Newt, and it's not my birthday. I think there's something wrong with that lady and the weird machine she gave me. It says I'm ten, but I'm not....not yet.

.....and there's a weird animal that won't stop following me. They don't seem mean, but I don't know what they want.

[At that a Growlithe appears behind her, looking at the screen. Newt has been adopted and she doesn't even know it yet.]

Yeah. But I have Ripley and she's warm and can make fire.

So it's not too bad.

....I'm just going to stay in the town I'm going to, for a while.

Well, that would certainly help, yes.

And that's perfectly fine. Though if you do find yourself in need of help, don't hesitate to ask.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Really?

[What is help....what is getting help when you ask for it. Heck what is people being alive to give help?]

[dreamsofahero]

Of course. Many people here are glad to lend a hand, and while I don't travel as much as I used to, I certainly don't mind helping where I can.

*which is why he routinely replies to new people to offer explanations, naturally*

[sleepallthewayhome]

Um...okay. I'll remember that.


....thank you.

[dreamsofahero]

You're quite welcome.
