Uh, hello everyone. It looks like we might be here a little longer than we hoped for, unless anyone has figured out how to leave yet.
[ He tries not to sound pesimistic about it. ]
I mean, whoever brought us here threw us a really dull mixer and hasn't made themselves known, so a lot of people are probably looking for places to stay and figuring all that stuff out.
No one's asking my opinion, but I would encourage everyone not to live somewhere too secluded. We don't know what might happen, and if you need help, it may be difficult to reach you. I know most of us probably don't know anything about each other, and it can be difficult to trust strangers, but putting city blocks between you and your nearest neighbor won't make things easier.
That's all.

It would be prudent, as well, to have our locations known to one another. If what took us could bring us here out of otherwise secure places, there's no reason to believe that secrecy will be useful.
Your name? I am Chang Wufei.

Robert Gadling, but everyone calls me Hob.
[And since it's important to build trust, he offers some.]
I'm staying in the apartment building closest to city hall.

[Directionality is important; he is confident in his ability to locate any residents within the nearby area. If not him, then one of the others.]
It would be unwise to approach without prior notice. We're... reactive.
[It would not do to accidentally injure or kill an invited guest, after all. He is relatively sure of his own ability to pull his punches; Wufei is not so confident of anyone else's.]
I have a question for you: Do you know what it is to be a mobile suit pilot?
no subject
It's good to stay in a group. Safer that way.
[As for the question, he shakes his head.]
No, I'm afraid I do not.
no subject
Then you are either a liar, or something impossible is going on here.
[He's not sure which is worse, and the already stoic grimness of his tone grows moreso, to reflect it.]
Good luck.
no subject
[That doesn't seem good.]
Yes, you too.
[He hopes the young man and his group will be alright.]
