Introduction
[If this is a communicator post, it's certainly accidental, as the camera's focused on someone who's asleep. It's boring for several seconds as the person isn't doing much and all one can see is their back, until they roll over...right off the bed and onto the floor. Oops.]

Wha--I'm awake! Couldn't you just shake me?

[There's no immediate answer, and he sits up, rubbing his shoulder and turning his head in an attempt to hear whoever's nearby. There's no answer, and no matter how hard he tries to listen, he can't even be sure there's a person in the immediate area besides him.]

Not funny...seriously?

Help?
[A few hours later, there's a more purposeful recording--video, even though it's currently filming his feet--because Noctis has found out how to at least record and send a message with the device.]

Anyone out there? Uh...name's Noctis, just woke up here. Wherever the hell that is.
Found this phone...thing...but it doesn't recognize any numbers I put into it.

[He sounds a little panicked, despite trying not to.]

Any information is helpful. Thanks.

[Okay, even for him and his brand of humor, that was a little funny.]

I've known mornings like those. Not quite what I'd prefer, but it's better than falling out of bed and into a puddle of mud.

[At least someone is amused by this situation.]

I'd rather not be falling out of bed at all, thanks.

[He'll at least try to recover a little bit of his dignity by finding the edge of the bed and using it to pull himself up.]

[Amused, but not enough that he would laugh aloud.]

True. [He can't help but notice the feeling around for the bed to pull himself up and wonders at it, though he won't say anything.] Do you still require help? I'm new to this world myself, but I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, you can tell me where I am. [And where he might be himself, just for Noctis' reference.]

...And who you are. I don't recognize your voice.

[Oh, poor lad. He is new to this, isn't he? Good thing he missed those calibrations.]

Looks like you're in a barracks, likely aboard one of the ships wandering the worlds with us or the mother ship. Not sure which one by the look of it - they're all the same up close. Haven't met your captain yet, I suppose. You can call me Undertaker.

I've met one other person, but she didn't introduce herself as captain.

[That's...an interesting name.]

...Undertaker? Like...for dead people?

[Don't tell him he's died for good this time.]

Ah, well then. You'll meet them soon enough. They're usually quick to pick up their own people, so I've heard. [From what he has heard... Maybe it won't be the same for Noctis?]

Once upon a time, yes. It was my job back home, but not here. These days you'll find me in a medical lab on the Goldstone. Funny the way things end up, isn't it?
