[He's still sort of out of it, but... Arthur's got to get back out there sooner or later. All this trudging and moping isn't like him at all and it's starting to bug him. He's still less than adept with technology, so the video's awkwardly askew and sort of too close to his face - he's got it propped up on blankets, he's just lazing around in bed.
He's so homesick.]
Hey, I'm kinda curious. We're all from a whole bunch of different worlds, right? What are your homes like? I'll go first!
My world doesn't have stuff like these phones anymore. It did like a thousand years ago, but not now. I grew up in the Midgard Library. It's huge! Not quite as big as this place, but huge. It can operate like an independent country and there're more books than anywhere else in the world. The Library's whole mission is to gather and preserve all kinds of information, so it's full of students and crusty old professors, and everyone's really smart. It raises and educates orphans, too. I'm one of the Library's investigators, which means I get to go all over the world trying to discover stuff and solving mysteries! Only the Library's best get to be investigators!
[There....that should be fun. Get a little conversation going, hopefully positive stuff. There's a lengthy pause and furrowed brows before eh manages to shut it off. It's more graceful than most of his use of the network has been, so that's progress.]

[That last part's a little weird. Movies are those cool moving picture things, but...] Whaddaya mean decide on? You don't know?
[Voice]
I just said, we had a dog and grew corn. In fields. Corn fields. One time we discovered mysterious flattened circles in them and my parents, of which I had both, attributed it to aliens. These are things that definitely happened.

Well, if you say so. Was farming any fun?
[Voice]
No, it wasn't any fun. I left Indiana as quickly as possible and moved to a different small town in California which was still large enough to need 12 cemeteries.
