Jon had absolutely no intention of being helpful. And then the robots grabbed him.
Several useless arguments later, he finds himself foisted onto a newcomer while wearing something ridiculous. The shorts are far too short. Maybe it's a small blessing that Jon isn't actually aware of the fact that they say Ceaseless Watcher's Special Boy across the back. The t-shirt, emblazoned with Guide-Mentor, feels two sizes too small. It, too, has a message on the back: Ask me anything!
The only thing that makes any of this even remotely bearable is the fact that he's going to get credits for doing this. He just has to try not to die of embarrassment before that happens.
Some poor soul will find themselves approached by a surly-looking man with odd scars along one arm and the side of his face. There are more on his legs, though fewer. He's clutching the map he's been given and advised to use. Jon adjusts his glasses and takes a deep breath.

"I'm Jon. I'm--supposed to guide you around."
His voice is possibly naturally condescending.
