[Roland can’t help but feel a little offended for being compared to a psychopath, but one probably doesn’t want to burn bridges with people they’ve just met.]

...No, I haven’t heard of him. The Crane family- that is, my own- runs with a much different crowd than that.

[Is that really the sort of image his last name inspires, here? Disheartening. Thanks for trying, though?]

[clowngirl]

Yeah, I kinda figured. So who're you s'posedta be?

[revenantking]

[He’s not exactly shy about his status - what would it matter, now, anyway, if he no longer had claim to it? What he’s more concerned about is being thought of as a madman to these people, and he hesitates before answering. No man as young as he is could be telling the truth.]

...I was the president of my country; not that it seems relevant, now.

I thought I’d found my way home, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

[There’s absolutely no way history could forget him after what happened.]

[clowngirl]

President, huh? I shoulda came up with that one when I first got here. Too bad it's too late now. [Wait, is it? ...Yes, yes it is.]

I'm Harley. I hope your home doesn't look nothin' like this lousy snow-trap.

[revenantking]

[Roland chuckles in spite of himself. To be honest, he’d have been suspicious if everyone were willing to believe him so easily.]

Well met, Harley.

It might. It’s been a long time since I’ve been home, which is why I had to be sure.

[He shrugs.]

But it seems I’m not the only one capable of travelling to other worlds. Guess I wasn’t as special as I thought.

[He’s willing to make a joke or two at his own expense in moderation.]

[clowngirl]

[Getting a laugh always brings Harley a bit of cheer.]

If it makes ya feel any better, I think most of us don't have much of a say in the matter. And no one wants to be here. You try usin' your capability to get back home from here yet?

[revenantking]

[Hmm, interesting...]

I can't control it either, unfortunately. Most times, I have to wait until I've achieved what it was I was sent to do - not that I have any idea what that could be, here.

Until I figure that out, might as well do whatever I can.

[But he still does assume that he- along with everyone else- has been brought here for some special purpose, and once they discover what that is, they'll be free. So, perhaps he isn't as worried as he should be.]
