You're talking to a random person. Say hi!
You: Before the internet became the regulated surveillance trap that it is today, we had horrible places like AIM Chatrooms, Chatroulette, and Omegle.
You: Well, it's 2012 again*, and your bored blorbo is logging on!
You: *Time travel optional.
Stranger: To play on this meme, just top-level with your character.
Stranger: Add some preferences if you'd like.
Stranger: Veterans of these websites know that both text-based and video-based chats are an option. Maybe say which one your character has found themselves in?
Stranger: Later iterations introduced hashtags to allow you be matched with a stranger with a common interest, if you want to start there?
You: Congrats! Those who've tagged in are now anonymous strangers joining your character in a one-on-one chat.
You: Though Omegle is notorious for its sexual acts and debauchery, it's not all bad!
You: Some people have even turned their random internet encounters into life-long friendships!
Stranger: But if you're here to whip it out, there's plenty of that going on too.
