[The camera is being shuffled around in someone's hand, its focus panning back and forth along the pavement on the City square]
-here, and... did that do it?
[The frame pans up, pointing out into the square at large rather shakily.]
Recording! We are on.
[And, swiftly and for the first time with purpose, the frame shifts again, focusing on the face of a young man who is clearly pointing it at himself from a not-fully-extended arm's length.]
Alright, you with me here? So... interesting new choice of scenery here, don't you think?
[More slowly and steadily, the camera pans around the square, before returning to the young man's face, who greets its return with a smile and a raise of his eyebrows.]
Now, really, a radical move like this one? Well, I almost wish I could take the credit for the executive creative decision, but I'm afraid this one's not on me. Besides, bizarre carousels and creepy ticking? I'd hardly call this befitting my sophisticated sensibilities.
So where is it I've wound up? If I knew, I'd tell you, believe me, but as it is... I have no idea. It's a city-- definitely not Chicago, though; trust me. I know my city. And the odd thing about this-- I mean, aside from the obvious odd choices about wherever I am-- is that I have no idea how I got here. Not a clue.
It's not as if this isn't the kind of thing you'd hear about in movies, or books, right? A man goes to sleep at night, he wakes up, he finds himself in another world, with adventures and opportunities beyond his wildest imaginings? Really, it sounds like the beginning of what could be a pretty impressive adventure, a classic blockbuster that could rivet audiences... or a cliched box office bomb that aimed way too high.
Which means it's up to me to make sure it goes the first way. Well, tell the casting director they've made the right call. Ferris Bueller reporting, and I'm up to the task.

[A young man is focusing intently as he hits a few buttons on the device and confirming that it's now broadcasting. He smiles when he sees that it is.]
Hey... hello out there?
[He pull his hand back from the device, lifting it into the frame as a wave.]
Looks like I'm the new guy in town, so I guess I should say hello. I'm... well, not really sure how I got here, but from poking around I see that's pretty much part of the deal, right? Some pretty advanced stuff you've got going on here, too. I'm impressed.
So anyway, I don't really know what the standard procedure is when you land in an alternate reality, but I'm going exploring. Anyone care to show me the place?
