So, uh...

[For a moment he regrets using audio for this. Why did he put himself in this situation again? Oh, right, it was because he wanted to make sure he reaches everyone, including anyone who might be illiterate.]

Anyone who's from the Bastion or who's interested in checking it out, can you come to [insert directions to his room here]? For the people who're gonna be living there once this is all over, we should figure out what we need and see if we can get it from Ozuma to take back.

Um, for anyone else, if you, uh, if you don't wanna go back to wherever you came from, Ozuma can send you to another world when we're done here if you ask him, so, uh, if you don't know where you wanna go the Bastion could be a good place? You can at least look around a bit.

...

[What should he say now? Was there anything else he needed to mention? Why didn't he write himself a script before doing this? This is why he never uses the phones.]

...So, uh, come over when you can. I, uh, I don't know how long this'll last before it goes back to normal.

[Log is here.]

[Rin is in the category of people (however small) who's deadset on going back to her own world, but Rob's broadcast still pings her interests. There's a certain man... Well, he might not even be the only one anymore, who she would like to find a new world for. There's something strange that Rob said, however, that begs her to ask:]

What? Is it prehistoric?

No, we have electricity and plumbing. We only just created the world though so there's no civilization we know of outside of two settlements. We're still getting things set up there.

You say you're just getting started, but if you have electricity and plumbing already, that's amazing.

[For such little manpower and whatnot. If he's calling on people to get back there, obviously they have some specialists, but still.]

What are relations like with the settlements? Are they large groups?

There are... a few hundred people in each one? I forget the exact numbers. I don't know if the Ura camp will be interested in moving into the Bastion, but we've had a decent relationship with them so it's not impossible. We did get about 250 people showing up at the Bastion at the last minute having been lied to about the situation. I'm hoping they'll be willing to work with us now, but there's no way to know just yet.

That sounds complicated, but not unmanageable. The smaller the crowd, the smarter they get.

[Not like her city, full of hundreds of thousands of people, or the burden of a world at over 7 billion. That would be no problem to a Servant like Archer, who would thrive in that world long past the one he was shackled to.

Yeah, only a few hundred souls. Even Chara might be comfortable with that, just as they seem to do alright here. A few of those closest to them would probably go as well. Frisk, she assumes. Maybe Wade? But if he were involved he might have another world in mind that would take precedence, but it's not a bad start.]

Do you like it there? Depending on your answer, I may have to keep it in mind.

Rob-san.

[ He's back . . . To life. His breath feels short for a long moment, feeling out of the loop about it all, but swallowing that down in favor before he grins and, ]

I'm down for it. You even giving tours?

[The voice is... vaguely familiar? Sorry, Masaomi, but Rob wasn't exactly in the best state throughout their first encounter.]

It's just Rob.

I can give you a tour if you want, sure.

Does that come complete with little rides and drinks, even?

[He assumes that Masaomi is joking, but he doesn't get whatever the joke is and isn't sure if he should admit that.]

...No?

Oh man, bummer.

Still, still, far be it from me to deny myself a tour! I'll have to be there shortly.

Anything I ought to wear?

I'd recommend shorts.

[Because telling visitors that they'll need to ford a river isn't exactly going to make them eager to visit.]

Mmmm, I don't think I own any, actually. But I'll see what I can do. Still, a fourth world... huh.

What is the Bastion?

[Finally, someone who wants to communicate through text. Of course, it's at this point he realizes that he's put himself in the position of trying to market the Bastion to others. This wasn't exactly his plan, but there's nothing he can do about it now.]

It's the first settlement in a new world. A bunch of people from a bunch of worlds ended up there a while ago and we've built it up over time. We were starting to expand to accommodate the last batch of arrivals when I ended up here. It's shaping up to be a good place to live.

N and I will probably be going back once this is over, so I'll be over soon.

[Rob's drawing the line at using video right now.]

I'll see you soon then.
