[As the recording starts, there's the faint sound of movement in the background as Gundham is exploring a bit of forest.]

So, as it seems our 'hosts' - if we can truly call them that - are intent on keeping us here, it would behoove us to acquaint ourselves with the surroundings. I will say that as far as prisons go, this is not the worst. However, I do have a question. Are any that can access this familiar with the local wildlife? I've been attempting to observe but having just arrived, I'm sure my scent is unfamiliar enough to have them on edge.

However... there is wildlife here. That in itself is... unexpected.

[Wow, okay, apparently one of the people on here are crazy. Good to know. Jack is just gonna maybe not offer his own animal-talking services here.]

Yeah. Good luck with that.

[gundhamster]

[While Gundham would've appreciated the offer, he'd actually prefer not to talk directly with animals because of his own baggage.]

T'is not luck that the Tanaka Empire is built on, but a divine mandate!

[theonlyrealthing]

[He's just putting his head in his hands for a minute over here because yeah. He had to respond to the crazy one. Good job, Jack.]

Your divine mandate isn't here, man. I'm pretty sure you won't get very far with leaning on it here.

[gundhamster]

The mandate follows wherever I go, for it is one that I issued myself! The work I do is essential for the very fabric of reality! You should rejoice! For the Tanaka Empire is at hand!

[theonlyrealthing]

Uh-huh.

[He's not sure whether this is hilarious or alarming, to be honest. Maybe it's just exhausting.]

I'm pretty sure this particular reality can live without your empire. They've already got leaders here, and a plan, and all that.

[gundhamster]

[Gundham goes about his business with some rustling noises in the background before responding.]

Just as all leaders thought they too could stand without the aid of the Netherworld, so many have crumbled into the annals of history. So to will this place be if it does not realize the precarious nature upon which it is built.

[theonlyrealthing]

[He really should just turn off the phone and leave it. But he's invested now.]

You know, there are whole worlds out there that do just fine without you. I don't think your support is really as important as you think it is.

[gundhamster]

I do not expect a mere mortal to understand the workings of the cosmos, let alone their place within it.

[theonlyrealthing]

[Oh, he's a mere mortal now, is he.]

Whatever you were before, man, you're not that anymore. We're all on the same level here.

[gundhamster]

I am still me, and that is enough.

[theonlyrealthing]

Whatever, man. Just don't expect any of us to start taking orders from you.

[gundhamster]

As if I would waste my time on mere humans.

[theonlyrealthing]

[Yeah, now Jack's done. He just hangs up, shaking his head. He's dealt with god-appointed rulers. This idiot definitely isn't that.]
