I don't suppose I could click my heels three times. . . [ Only Clark gets his little joke. ]

I'll keep this brief. My name is Clark - I'm from Kansas.

[ He's been the new guy at work often enough to sound chill about this, but he is feeling a little shaky having woken up here in the middle of his workday. To top it off, not being able to hear his mother's heartbeat is jarring.

There's some stress baking in Clark's future. ]

What do you make of this place? I'm curious to know how it compares to where you come from.

Well, not for a living, but- hey, good way to pass the time, right?

Plus I mean, any bit of normality helps around here.

no problem!

So, any gossip you know?

[wallcrawler]

Sorry, I didn't work for that kind of paper. Plus I mean, we nerds are not known for having our thumb on the pulse of whatever social scene we've wandered into.

I mean, I guess there's the part where we're supposedly on some sort of intergalactic reality show, but not everyone seems to buy that. Also nobody's ever really met whoever's responsible for bringing us here, nobody really knows how to leave, and the general consensus is that the protein goo they feed us is less than appetizing. All that stuff's pretty common knowledge, though.

[And he'll just give the camera a defeated shrug of his shoulders to wrap things up.]

Probably stuff you've already heard yourself, but that's all I've got.
