[hawkwardness]

Hey. I'm new here. My name's Tobias. I figured I'd introduce myself before I'm in the classroom, so that no one thinks they're going crazy. See, I'm a red-tailed hawk, not a human. So if you see a big bird with a pretty red tail indoors or flying around, keep in mind it might not be a normal animal.

That's all. Thanks.

The Outlands?

I though this place was part of it before everyone kept saying it wasn't. The 'Outlands' didn't mean any sort of big spot, until everyone said it was.

There was just all the different places I saw, like places with big mushrooms you could bounce on, or places where everything was upside-down and also left and another direction, or the ones where you could see different colours.

(I still can't find words for the colours and directions though)

They were all just other places, like this one.

I don't know what makes this one so 'special' other than being...'monotonous'.

Have you only seen the school? There's a whole lot more to the world than this one place. Maybe you could travel, someday.

I saw a place called 'Marsielles' and 'Oxford', but they still seem pretty much the same as this one.

I haven't been anywhere either. You might like the beach? I always see kids playing on the beach. Well, saw, past tense. I lived close to the ocean.

I think there was a beach at the Marsielles place.

It's not that I don't like any of the places I guess.

They're just very simple places.

[hawkwardness]

Safer, though. I'd rather have a simple safe place.

Safe is a good thing, that's true.
