Who: Espio + anyone
What: One very belated intro
Where: Here and There
When: "November", if November exists
Content Warnings: Likely references to him being from a sex-or-die CRAU in the tags.
1. The Sky
[Why, you might ask, is there a short man with a lizard tail standing on a rock, arms spread wide as he laughs almost maniacally at the sky? There must surely be a reason, right?
Before he can be interrupted, he notices whoever approaches him and his laughter trails off as he turns to face them.]
Look at that! Five years, and they give me this - it's like going home! How long's that been like that?
[He jabs a thumb towards the sky behind him, where shapes are twisting and coiling just like in the weird part of the Special Zone. It has been so long since he's seen a sky as colourful as the one he was once used to that the little taste of home actually makes him feel slightly ill... still, seeing it, all he can do is laugh, even if it's not a happy laugh.]
2. How to Be Social
[Still convinced this is only an illusion, just like the countless illusions he's experienced in the past several months, Espio has not been particularly inclined to socialise. The problem with that is that while he does not want to go through meeting and greeting new people who might not even be real, being alone is... well, it's lonely! So while he has mostly been steering away from more obvious social hubs and has instead wandered what feels like the entire habitable area for he doesn't know how long, eventually he gives in and shows his face somewhere with people. What few people there are in this place, anyway...
The Heavenly Blanc is as good a bet as any, but he can also be found somewhere in the Underground Academy. Either way, his idea of a greeting is questionable:]
Still haven't seen anyone I know. How 'bout you?

Considering I doubt that some of them even have a concept of reality, it would be a wasted effort.

Obviously? And really not worth commenting on when earth’s just another word for dirt. A word with more than one meaning, what a surprise...
[HUFF.]
Just a thought, maybe you should pay attention to some of these people. Just ‘cause their reality’s different doesn’t make it less real.

[Rolling his eyes at this buffoon]
Not unless there's a universal translation program in place that's confusing the issue...
[Gawd help us we're at the mercy of babelfish or google translate]
I could- or I could focus on getting back to where I belong and leaving all this, and you behind.

Don’t question the logic, it clearly doesn’t apply here. Everyone understood each other fine in Between too, just because they believed they could. This place seems to have the same flavour of stupid, so...
[Though Espio actually does speak English. It’s probably not called English, but it is indeed perfectly understandable English. No translation convention here.]
For someone professing to know better, you’re shockingly dense.
[Must. Prove. Idiot. Wrong...]
