[A few days after everyone's settled in, this pops up:]
—working now? Oh, good, that took so much longer than I thought it would.
[To those well-versed in such things, they might quickly identify the androgynous figure onscreen right now, dressed in an eyesore of a coat, as a tiefling: there are the horns, the tail, the lavender skin, the red and pupil-less eyes. To those who aren't? Jesus, it's another fuckin' weirdo, and he's giving the camera a bow.]
Mollymauk Tealeaf, formerly of Exandria and the Mighty Nein and now of Trench, at your service! I'm a bit lacking in funds at the moment, so if you have some coin to spare, come to Cellar Door. I've set up near one of the statues. [And he pans the camera up to show an artistic, distinctive statue of a woman dancing, with cloth draped over her arms. Then down to a little portable table with a set of tarot cards laid out.]
For just two coppers, or whatever the equivalent is here, I'll tell you what the future has in store for you. Doesn't that sound like a steal to you?
[Advertisement over, he gets serious, and adds:]
Oh, and—if anyone from the Mighty Nein is here? Let me know you're safe. [Please.]

[He is actually enjoying the part where he gets to live with a bunch of other kids unsupervised, even if Varian has been bouncing off the walls all month. At the same time, even though he was going somewhere where he wouldn't be around any other sea monsters back in his own world, he misses knowing that he could go back any time he wanted. Not to mention some of the comments on the network make Luca think this place might be more dangerous than it initially appears.
He looks at the next card. That one also makes sense. The last thing he remembers of his world was riding on the train to go to school, and now...now he's in a whole new world. Molly's right, though, about moving forward.]
You're right. I mean, I won't get to go to the human school back home, but the Gaze is here, and I looked around there and they have so many books. I can still learn a bunch of stuff even if I'm here.
[He nods at the next question.]
Yeah, I'm ready.
