[This text post comes after a few hours of radio silence following Dirk's first messages.]
Surprise, I survived.
"I told you so" etc etc.
Turns out the locals are pretty chill, all things considered.
I've learned their language and they have accepted me as one of their own.
By which I mean I'm cooling my heels in one of their longhouses for the rest of the night after they explained their whole Lost-adjacent dogma to me.
And I learned some shit you folks will probably be interested to hear about, judging by the fat wad of nothing y'all were able to tell me.
Key takeaways:
One, this particular group of natives speaks Morse code.
Tongue clicks for dots and hums for dashes.
Might wanna brush up on it if you don't feel like getting speared should you have a run-in with them.
And two, the people responsible for whatever this is are somewhere to the southeast, presumably on another island.

How are they with each other? Noisy, obedient, aggressive? Any disagreements?

But I've been here for a few fucking hours and it sounds like this is more than y'all have figured out in god knows how long you've been here, so maybe a little appreciation is in order.
You can be the one deciphering a foreign language on the fly next time if you're dissatisfied.
[Forgive him if he's snappish, he's still kinda on edge after the whole "waking up in the wrong new universe sans all his friends and having to deal with strangers after sixteen years of isolation and also he kind of died like a couple of hours ago??"]
They've got a whole proper society out here, council of leaders and all that.
Some minor annoyance and disagreements with each other over what to do with an interdimensional interloper, but no significant conflict.
Everyone's been pretty chill considering the circumstances.

How big's this council? How old?

Three people, middle aged.
