[The habit of staying in hiding runs deep, and Richie is uncomfortable with broadcasting his face or voice over the network. In general he doesn't like the idea of the network but now he's getting desperate. It's been nearly a month that he's been here and still no sign of his brother. He had been standing right next to Seth before this. It didn't make sense.]

Right before you came here, were you with anyone? Did any of them come with you?

Has anyone been here a while before someone you knew turned up? How long did that take?

It does.

Friends of yours?

[While the response answers his question, he's trying to compile as much information as he can. What was the correlation between people who arrived and those who came later with some kind of connection to them?]

[somuchlove]

One was a very close friend, yes. The other was the brother of the person who was here before I was.

[Technically Papyrus was a "friend" but not on this run. Never again, probably.]

[hornrims]

Was? Did you piss them off or what?

[Yeah he's ...not good at social skills or boundaries]

[somuchlove]

No. My friend is still with me. Perhaps that was a poor word choice.

[Just don't dive too deep into it.]

[hornrims]

Does your friend remember everything you remember from before here?
