into the woods without any red hoods

[Jack Darby]

At that moment, Rafael was not sure what to make of Doctor Shantotto. The robes were clothes that he had never seen before. The staff looked like a sort of weapon, a weapon from a video game. While he couldn't put his finger on the particular game, or what occupation in said game would possess a staff like that, he knew it was familiar. "For starters, what is your opinion on the individual known as Omni? Unicron, the 'parasite' as you call him, wishes to disembowel Omni for kidnapping him, and ripping the bulk of his power from him. Where do you stand? Are you for sparing Omni for what he has done, or for dealing with him somehow?" asked Rafael, to her.  "Secondly, why can I not remember how to program, or even operate a smart phone or tablet all that well in this place? What prevents me from being good with machinery? Fourth, what is the area we are in called? Fifth, is there anywhere you have that you call home here in this particular place?" 

Rafael was beginning a barrage of questions. Rafael was of course very curious.  "#6. What are your robes for? Why do you wear them? What's the staff for, Doctor Shantotto? #7. Do you mind helping me get stronger so the parasite Unicron will stop complaining about me being too weak?"
