Subjects involved: Prof. Radiant (Interviewer) and #0008 (Interviewee) (Note: Prof. Radiant's stutter has been written out of this transcription for ease of accessibility for readers)

[Begin log]

R: "Good morning Mr. CoLatta! How are you doing today?"

#0008: "Ehh I'm doin' fine, same old same old. How about you?"

R: "Oh!" [chuckles] "Yes, yes I'm doing quite alright as well."

R: "I'm sure you already understand the gist of this by now, I'm just going to ask you some simple questions and document your responses, these all should be very easy and you are free to respond in any way you wish so long as it is on topic, okay?"

[#0008 Nods in response]

R: "Alright! So, first question. Can you list off for me the five basics about yourself?"

(Authors Note: "the five basics" are name, age, birthday, gender, and origin, we ask this at the beginning of every interview as a safety precaution.)

#0008: "Yeah sure, my name is Tropicarl Coco-CoLatta, I was 18 years old when I lost track, my birthday is- was August 22nd, I was born a woman but no longer identify as one, and I was a Phonian citizen for my whole life."

R: "Mm yes, and what year were you born?"

#0008: "2006."

[Prof. Radiant pauses and looks at #0008 confused for a moment, before writing down its response]

R: "...Okay, and roughly when do you recall entering the Outer Bounds?"

#0008: "Ahh jeez... I wanna say it was around 20██? I'd been stuck at home for a long time by then so my memory is a bit fuzzy."

R: "Stuck at home? Did something happen, or was this by choice?"

#0008: "Eugh yeah no not my choice, there was some sorta huge virus outbreak so I got stuck all by myself at home with my roommate, I think it was called ██████████? And I mean I still went outside in my yard every now and then to get some sun but that was kinda it. One day I got ready to go do that but when I opened my door it just... wasn't my yard anymore, and that's how I'd ended up here."

R: "...Ah, I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Did- Did your entire house really slip through?"

#0008: "Yeah my house is still exactly the same as it was the day I got here, well, I mean ya'know what I mean. It's the same house, not a copy. Hell, Juggs didn't even know it'd happened since honk was dead asleep on the lazy boy through the whole thing."

R: "Wow, that's probably the smoothest transition we've heard about so far." [Chuckles]

R: "Since you just mentioned Juggalogo though... would you mind if I ask a few questions about honk as well?"

#0008: "Not at all Rads, hit me with it."

R: "Good, good. Now, did you ever happen to notice any strange metaphysical behaviors from honk during your time in reality? Like, had honk ever seemed particularly detached from the world in strange ways, or vanishing for long periods of time through impossible exits, things of that nature?"

#0008: "Hmm... Well, now that you mention it, honk did sometimes do stuff sorta like that? Like, honk would tell me that honk was headed out and then would just turn the corner and POOF! Not a trace, like honk was never there at all. Then a few hours or days later honk would just be there on the couch again, it was weird but I never asked about it."

[Prof. Radiant pauses for a moment failing to hide his disbelief, before clearing his throat and continuing]

R: "I... uhm, okay- do you... even know where Juggalogo came from? At all?"

#0008: "Nope, not at all, I met honk in a Taco Ball parking lot, got honk and I each one'a those beefy 5-layer burritos to be nice and we split an edible and we've been friends ever since."

R: "Do you know... what Juggalogo is?"

#0008: "Isn't honk just another monster? I dunno I've only read a few of those denizen files Eskobar wrote up"

R: "Okay... backtracking now. Are you aware of the planet J-Sibler?"

#0008: "Yeah, that little tennis ball looking one just past the suns right?"

R: "Yes correct, and good to hear there were two suns for you as well. Were you aware of any alien life present on that planet?"

#0008: "Well I mean I was always one of those people who had their theories, but nothing was 'scientifically' confirmed or whatever."

R: "...Ah. Have you... ever met any aliens- hey, don't smirk at me like that, you know Ick doesn't count."

#0008: "Eheh, yeah no never had until I got here, to my knowledge anyway."

R: "Seriously??- I- sorry, okay. Backtracking further, how many continents were there?"

#0008: "Six."

R: "What color was the atmosphere?"

#0008: "It was... blue?"

R: "Do you recognize what this is?"

[Radiant, getting increasingly stressed, proceeds to hold up a photograph of himself next to a typical Phonian cargo ship, something every citizen on the surface has seen at least once]

#0008: "Is that you next to some huge spaceship?? Where the hell did that come from, were you in a movie or something? I would've thought you were way too dorky for tha-"

[Radiant ditches the photo and grabs #0008 by the shoulders]

R: "WHAT HAPPENED IN PHONIAN HISTORY ON DECEMBER 31ST 1999 THROUGH TO JANUARY 1ST??"

#0008: "I DONT KNOW DUDE- A BOMB ASS NEW YEARS PARTY??"

[Radiant lets go and pauses to breathe for a minute and lets off some visible electricity into the air around him to calm down, causing a slight audio distortion for a few seconds]

R: "I- sorry- I apologize for yelling, I need to... go call Dr. Kusatta, you are free to go Tropicarl."

[#0008, visibly shaken from the outburst, silently nods and leaves the room. Followed soon after by Prof. Radiant.]
