Um. Hi. I'm Henry.
[ He knows full well how to use a smartphone so there's no awkwardness there, it's more the fact that he's addressing people he can't see and hasn't even met in person yet. They all do it so it's nothing new, it's just figuring out how to start this that has him fumbling for words for a moment. Some people might not even really care who he is and what his name is, but he likes to be friendly. Might as well be authentic, even in a place like this. ]
I've been here for a few weeks now, I...haven't met a lot of people yet. And I was thinking about where we all come from.
[ There's a lot to fear or at least be worried about when it comes to this place, so idle chitchat like what he's initiating might not be super welcomed by everyone, but messages like these are easy to ignore, he figures. He's curious and he wants to know people better; the ones who are willing to listen and respond, anyway. ]
I know of a lot of places, some of them...kind of bad. But I didn't know a place like this could exist. So. I was thinking maybe there are places even worse than this out there. Or maybe more places like where I come from, where things are more...normal. Ish. [ The 'ish' is because, well, his hometown doesn't even technically exist. But that's a story for another time. ] What's your home like? Is this place better than what you left behind?
[ And, because he is a teenage boy: ] What do you miss most? I miss really good New York pizza. And my family. I really miss my family, but at least my mom's here. Well, one of them, at least. [ Oh. Right. That's another story. That'll have to wait. ]

A bow would be cool. I think my mom would freak out if she saw me with a gun, but...it's really not much more dangerous than a sword. And I kind of know how to use one - my dad was teaching me, and my gramps. They were from a place that was kind of...medieval. [ That's the easiest way he can think to describe it. ]
I was thinking about that - we could all be here for a while, and it's hard not to get close to people. I want to. But then we leave and that's it. Maybe...maybe it doesn't have to be. [ He knows that's really just wishful thinking and not reality in any way. ]

[The lack of ammo is a serious problem, especially when the only way he knows of to get more is offer a dead monster to Rage. Which involves killing a monster, which is definitely not something Chris is super interested in doing unless he absolutely has to.]
Medieval?
[If he doesn't want to explain further he doesn't have to, but Chris is curious and has to ask.
At the last part he's quiet a few seconds, nodding.]
Maybe. I mean, this whole situation is really weird, so like... Ruling things out seems kind of ridiculous here. But unless we figure out exactly how people come and go it'd be kind of hard to try and change it or make something specific happen.
