[The first thing Claire did once he found the network was read just about everything he could find. By the time he finally decides to post something, he's looking rather excited about the whole thing.]

This is... fate, right? Me becoming a part of this network, that is. It has to be fate.

I mean, I was about to curse my luck a little while ago, with all these amazing stories I've been hearing about Locke City while I'm stuck over here in Vegas. It's not like I can just pack my bags and move. But now, I think I get it. All along, me living here, working here, maybe even being born here, was meant to be! Like it was written in the stars.

[He pauses dramatically for a moment... then laughs a little awkwardly.]

...Or something like that, anyway! Ha, what am I doing, giving such an outlandish first impression when all I wanted was to introduce myself? But then I am sort of an outlandish person, so maybe it's just me being honest? Heh, I guess that works.

Oh, right, about the whole other self thing... I think this other me may have been a conductor, so if anyone's got lots of memories of being on a train, I'd like to hear about it.

Is it like that for a lot of people?

I think I can handle keeping it separate, though. I'm pretty good at separating stuff in my life anyway, so what's a few more things, right?

[She frowns.] Sometimes.

[And quickly moves past it, and the frown turns up a little.] That's a good skill to have then, with all of this.

For you too, huh?

[What is tact? Is it something you eat?]

Seems like it, yes! It's a little early to say, of course, but I think I'll be able to handle all of this!

[Her eyes narrow, briefly. Mostly out of the fact that - wow, did she really make herself that obvious.] Not really something that bears talking about. [At least, not to strangers. Sorry, guy.

She smiles all the same, a tad.] I'm glad to hear that, then. I wish you good luck, and remember if you need any advice, we're around.

Oh, right, right. Sorry, didn't mean to pry or anything.

Thanks! It's good to know there's so many people around I can contact if I need to.

It's... okay. Really.

And we're probably not going anywhere for a little while, unless all leads dry up. Which... hopefully they won't, until we can get to the bottom of things.

Well, good luck with that. If I see anything out of the ordinary, relatively speaking that is, I'll be sure to let you know. With so many people looking around, someone is sure to spot something.

[She nods.] That's the idea, anyhow.

Thank you sir, and be careful.
