Raising up from his slumber was... a fish. A purple fish with black hair and a news anchor get-up as he yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. It takes him a minute for his sleepy daze prevented him from realizing that he is not in his comfy bed in his sleep abode.
Once it does, Perch Perkins leapt up off the floor and began clambering backwards. This wasn't his house. This isn't BBN's studio. This is... Some weird place that Perkins doesn't know. Is this another prank pulled on him by that piece of !@#$ Mack Mackrel?
Perch immediately begins dusting himself off, straightening out his look, and began patting himself furiously on his pockets and crevasses until he finally found it. His trusty microphone. Never leave home without it. Clearing his throat, mentally counting down in his mind, he began speaking...
"Good morning, to all those watching back home. This is Perch Perkins reporting in... WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!" ... He isn't even facing any of the fellow toons that woke up here or the hosts. He's just staring at a wall...
Oh good, someone from the news is here! You'll get to see how our studio operates front-and-center! And hey, don't be shy to take part of the action yourself, fish-fry!
Those headphones sitting on top of Perch's head momentarily popped up hearing another being suddenly address him. He flipped around to stare at... That thing. Surrounded by more odd things. Oh Neptune, there's been a nuclear war and he slept through it and now he's surrounded by weird fleshy monsters and... whatever that giant black-and-white thing with the eyepatch and cybernetic is supposed to be. That's clearly the answer here.
It's honestly impressive he hasn't curled up in a ball hyperventilating into a brown bag. Perhaps it's the mice's words that stop him from full on having a panic attack. "You'll get to see how our studio operates front-and-center!" That... Sounds like an open gate for an interview.
Perch's eyes lit up for a moment, before his shaky and antsy appearance became prim and proper again as he approached Mincer with his microphone held out to him. Would be better if they had some blasted lighting in this place, but hey, good enough.
"Of course, I'd be honored to interview the proud owner of..." ... Wherever this is. "Your studio lot. Do you believe you could share some words to me- I mean the viewers at home about what's going on here and what your studio is for and why I have been brought here. An impromptu interview?" He totally has a clue what's going on here. What kind of self-respecting news anchor would he be if he didn't. Totally.
You know what they say. All toasters toast toast.
