imperfectscientist [The man that appears on the screen is dark-skinned with thick hair, touched by gray at the temples. He’s currently looking at the screen with a quizzical brow.]
Hello? I’ve not seen a device quite like this one before, but I think this is some sort of communication system. If I’ve managed to reach anyone, um, hello! My name is Carlos, Carlos the scientist! [He smiles wide, revealing straight rows of white teeth.] Last I checked I had just become trapped in another world….but this is decidedly not the world I was trapped in, so I’m not quite certain what happened. There’s any number of things that could have happened, of course, scientifically speaking, but unfortunately, I’m rather limited in my means of collecting data, since I don’t seem to have any of my instruments with me. [He turns out the pockets of the labcoat he’s wearing, revealing only some lavender-flavored gum and a pocket notebook.] So, I’ll continue to investigate as much as I can, but if anyone has any scientific instruments I can make use of or some information for me, that would be really helpful!
In any case, I do know that I’m not alone in this world, since I encountered a woman who was very confused and thought I was her son. I can’t seem to get back into the house to ask her any questions though, which is a shame. Maybe that house is this world’s version of the House that Does Not Exist?
I’ve also discovered this very interesting fauna which seems to have taken a liking to me! [He pans the camera over to show an image of a Mareep who has lain down quite contentedly next to Carlos’ feet.] Oh, if only I had my instruments, but it seems he’s some sort of natural conductor of electricity! It’s extremely scientifically fascinating! I’m calling him Tesla. [Tesla bleats happily from Carlos' feet.] He is so cool!
[Carlos moves the screen to face him again.] Oh geez, I was rambling again, wasn't it? There’s just so much to see and I’d really like to explore! But there’s something important I have to say first.
I’m trying to get back to a place called Night Vale. There’s someone really important there and I promised I’d get back to him. …And now I seem to have lost my only means of contacting him, that is, my cell phone. [At least, he hadn’t found his cell phone when he turned out his lab coat.] On the off chance that anyone knows how to get back to Night Vale or has even heard of it, please, let me know. In the meantime, if anyone has need of a scientist, or has some interesting scientific phenomena to report, I’m your scientist!

It's in your best interests to follow me. You can't hide forever.

9/3/15 23:02 (UTC)[Yeah, he knows that, but that's not going to stop him from trying.] I really don't think it is. Besides, you're probably very far away from me, if you've traveled for a month already.

I am only about ten days away from you. My associate Lauren is in New Bark right now, I'm certain she will find you and then once we all meet up, we can begin.
Re: video
9/3/15 23:23 (UTC)Yeah, I had the....experience [certainly not pleasure] of speaking with Lauren earlier. She's having some trouble locating me thus far, though. It might be a while!

10/3/15 03:06 (UTC)[Come on Carlos. Snacks.]
We will find you. Don't worry!
Re: video
10/3/15 03:57 (UTC)[He is absolutely going to worry.]

10/3/15 04:42 (UTC)I. Didn't, Mess. With. Cecil. [Not directly of course. Yes those incidents you might be recalling were only mishaps, miscommunications or factors in the grans scheme of things. ]
Nightvale is adorable, especially now since The Great Desert Bluffs Metropolitan Area, but I understand rising up against something you are forced into. Like a young radio host in a Desert town, who stood up against all odds when his town was threatened by a bright smiling threat. Until he was the only one remaining and in time he too found a permanent smile come to his face.

10/3/15 05:23 (UTC)Or is it possible that this is a farce, that Kevin is only saying this to fool Carlos into having pity for him? It's impossible to tell and he has no idea how to respond.]
I'm. Really sorry we can't see eye to eye on this.

10/3/15 06:33 (UTC)[He's delusional, with every passing second he grows further and further into denial.]
But, you wouldn't know that. You could not see what glory and sanctuary our Smiling God provided us. I was a fool to resist and I can see that now.
[No he can't, he only thinks he can.]

12/3/15 05:56 (UTC)[If you want to break him Carlos and turn that smile upside down, then you have a long road ahead of you. Every journey no matter how tedious begins with the first step.]

12/3/15 06:26 (UTC)Carlos, you need to understand. Don't you see that Strex will never go away, that the smiling god bright in the sky is here to stay and will only continue to pursue.
