Inhabitants.

The boy snaps his fingers and the two of you are transported to a cyan room.

???: Hey, hot-shot, you see something you like?

you don't reply.

???: Cold shoulder, it's cool, it's cool. So anyway, you're probably wonderin' how I could see ya right?

...

???: Aren't you talkative. Anyway, I'm your co-player! Your number 2! (I'm number one though really, let's face it.) Our Inhabi's can't really see us so It's a dead giveaway if you see someone floating and looking right at'chu.
???: Name's Ray, my true name might hurt your ears and I don't wanna hurt that pretty lil' face of yours. It'd be such a shame really. Who's the little blue guy?

...

Ray: Are you like, mute or somethin'? I mean, It's fine if you are but this convocation's going nowhere if you ain't got a way of talkin'.

He shakes his head before creating two tablets and passing one over to you. The screen lights up and you see your Inhabitants again.

Ray: Those little lizards look funky, It's like a mini colony... Anyway, don't worry, you can still interact with everythin' down there in here. It's just that if you float around like that you'd be an easy target for any hostile players; And me, being the so kind person I am, don't want anything happening to ya... Inhabi's can't see this building but other players can so I'll deck it out with some sick protection later...The lil' dude with me was Wocc. It's a cooking-type frying pan. Wocc gains all sorts of cool perks from being that.

...

Ray: Man you're not one for convocation, huh? Well, I'll be here if you wanna chat or somethin' hun.

You can now talk to Ray by starting a sentence with "Ray:"
