[The feed clicks on, showing a somewhat nervous-looking blonde and freckled young man. That and a Snubbull. Ron waves at the camera a bit.]

So, uh, hi! I'm Ron. Ron Stoppable. And this is Maddie. Nice to meet all of you, even if I haven't technically met any of you yet.

I'm looking for Kim Possible, red hair, green eyes, incredibly beautiful, may or may not have already unleashed at least one of sixteen different types of kung fu on someone. Also a naked mole rat named Rufus. And an explanation for what the heck is going on.

In that order, actually, because I'm like halfway to a panic attack here.

I'm afraid I haven't seen either of those people.

[Uh. Person and naked mole-rat. Details.]

But if you know them from your own world, there is a good chance that they aren't in this world. And as for what is going on -- you've ended up in a completely different world from your own. All the people on this network are in the same situation as you are. Nobody completely understands why it happens, but your world and family and friends are safe.

Sorry, I know this is all pretty confusing and overwhelming. My name is Armin, and I can try and answer your questions.

Uhhuh. Define safe.

[What someone else might consider safe, Ron definitely didn't.]

Also what's with all the weird animals?

[Actually, that's entirely fair. Armin doesn't know if they are safe. Who knows what this guy's world is like.]

Actually, what I should've said is that they are more or less frozen in time. When you go back to your own world, you'll return to exactly the same moment you left, so for your friends and family, it'll be like you were never gone. And you won't remember being gone either. So maybe safe wasn't the right word to use. I don't know what sort of situation you were last in, after all. But at the very least it is... stable? Nothing will change while you are here.

If... that makes sense?

[Armin isn't sure how quick on the uptake this dude is.]

Oh, and those are pokemon. That's what the animals of this world are known as. Pokemon are very popular in this world, so nearly everybody owns at least one, if not more.

Okay, so nothing changes back home, and I won't remember anything I did here when I do go back. What's the point of doing that? Why is this even a thing?

I don't know if there is an answer to that. I don't think anyone is even completely sure of what brings us here in the first place. It could just be a force of nature.

But I believe, even if it is meaningless in the grand scheme, it can still be enjoyed while you are here.
