taxonomites | [HOLO] Arrival

Topher had sat down in the little lounge area of his suite to play a few video games, intending to use them to pass the time until Echo was brought up for programming. He was proud of this new little idea of his, and he’d probably explain it to Ivy when she came in.

Unfortunately, the couch he sat on vanished, as did the rest of the room. Luckily he still had his PS3 system? Topher got up from where he was now sitting on the ground.

“Well. That was unexpected.”

After going around twice, he stopped to look at the tablet. He picked it up and examined it. Now, Topher knew a great deal about technology, especially cutting-edge stuff, but as far as he was concerned, this was still fictional.

“Dude. This is awesome. Where am I? Heeeh-lloooo? Alien kidnapping overlords? Can I come out of here?”

As he said this, he noticed a way out. Pocketing the tablet for further examination later, he picked up the video game console, slung the controllers over his shoulder, used the other hand to pick up the small TV, and walked awkwardly towards the door.

“I sure hope there’s somewhere I can plug these in.”

No people, no animals... hold on a second, that was Chinese.
"You speak Chinese?"

"Yes...most people where I come from do, at least a little. Especially on Sihnon of course where the culture is much more strongly influenced by the region that the language originated in on Earth That was, but Chinese and English are equally spoken generally."

"I knew it! Ha-HA! If only two languages survive, it had to be English and Chinese." Topher is elated to be proven correct... but then, he's excited about most of this anyway.

Topher's enthusiasm is infectious and she laughs, nodding. "Well, you were right. At any rate, I'll let you go and get acclimated and find your red dot, if you have a red dot. If not...well, I'm not sure what happens. I think that you can actually stay in the Sanctuary, and there are a number of empty houses about. If you need anything there are a lot of us in the same situation, you can use your device there to ask questions and for help."

"Okay. Thanks then... and probability says I'll see you around sometime."

"With a population this small and space being limited, I'd say it's probably a certainty. Take care, Topher."

"You too, Inara."

Inara. What a pretty name. But it fits such a pretty lady... heh!

Topher is slightly embarrassed by the direction his thoughts are taking, (nothing too graphic, mind you. This is still mostly in the "Ooh, so prity" zone) but she's left, so it's okay... right?
