Alright, so that seems like it’s working well.
This is a test recording.
My name is Grian Evos, and due to a recent promotion by Xisuma—and since my predecessor seemingly vanished off the face of the Earth—I am beginning my first day as the new Head Archivist of the Void Institute. It’s…nice. Here in this office, I mean. Even though I’ve only been in here a few times before, and Etho left quite the mess, it feels…cozy—lived in, I suppose.
But I’m not joking when I said he did leave quite the mess. That man’s organization methods are even more mysterious than where he went. That’s why, in light of this new position, I have been provided with several new assistants, including Mumbo, Pearl, Impulse, and—Scar! What’re you—
[Scar]
Why hello there, tiny box! I am one of those assistants in question! Scar Goodtimes, at your service!
[Grian]
(Sighs)
It’s called a tape recorder, Scar.
[Scar]
Oh! I do apologize, Mr. Tape Recorder! Please excuse my rude assumption!
(Laughs)
[Grian]
(Sighs)
Anyway, I have to say that I’m quite excited for this position…regardless of the fact that I have to use this old tape recorder instead of this nice, new microphone sitting right here in front of me…
And even though I have questionable help.
[Scar]
Hey! I’m plenty helpful! I helped Mumbo set up that microphone!
[Grian]
You mean when you set the box on his desk?
[Scar]
I spared him the trouble of walking over and getting it. Plus, he could’ve tripped, so if you think about it, I saved his life.
[Grian]
Alright then. Then I assume you can help Mumbo figure out how to fix the recording software?
[Scar]
Well, you see I’m really quite busy today, and—
[Grian]
That’s what I thought.
(Pauses)
I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed, though…that headset I bought was going to be so comfortable.
(Scar laughs)
