SO YOU'RE AN X-CLASS AKUDAMA
[Eventually, you will find yourselves in the only place that is really big enough to hold all of you: the basement. And there, the glitches that have been plaguing you off and on all day stop. Perhaps they're simply outdone by the tacky Matrix lighting all over the place. The early birds see a shuffling white coat from behind the desk in the back; for all the size of the glasses on this woman's face, she picks you out in the darkness immediately.]
Oh boy, it's almost time to start the presentation! "Akudama", Akudama...
[She's pacing nervously, not engaging much with the others, until 6:45 PM, at which point she gets up and starts a terrible PowerPoint type of presentation projected on the wall.]
So, hiiiiii. I'm the Physicist, uh, former X-Class Akudama renowned throughout Kansai, and I'll be taking care of you here at the WS Research Hospital. Don't worry, I have doctorates in other things too. [Next slide.] And here's the layout upstairs for the rooms where you'll be staying—you'll find out which one is yours when my friend the Zealot brings in the seals and smartphones. Treatment is expected to take six weeks, and while accepting our therapies is completely opt-in, we will provide you with a little local currency in compensation for your participation in the experimental research. Then you'll be anchored in this reality, and that's one step closer to getting back towards your original dimension in one piece! And, oh, yeah, I know it's really tempting, but please don't kill each other just so killing an X-Class Akudama and living to tell the tale gets you to travel back in time and fix your greatest mistake, or something like that.
Any questions?

He's shy.

[As if that's a rebuttal instead of a confirmation that yeah, he's shy, apparently]
no subject
[She softens though.]
Really, though, I appreciate it a lot. This is just so much information for them all to take in.
no subject
[Not that he's fully comfortable with it, but if he had to choose between being one of the people in charge, so to say, and one of the subjects here? ...well, it's not by much, but being one of the people in charge wins. At least for the time being. His opinion on the matter is pretty ambiguous]
