Intro. You stand before them, a beacon of familiarity in this odd place full of unfamiliar people, sounds, scents. You're new here as well, just like them, and they're relieved to be able to interact with you rather than the other unfamiliar faces. They look at you hopefully, awaiting to see what you might do, as if you're their only hope in this bizarre situation.
