Predictably, or maybe not so predictably for those who don't know him, when Sakuya wakes up and takes stock of his surroundings he panics, spits out the candy in his mouth(a stranger putting things in his mouth?!), and makes a squawking noise, tumbling off the bed that has been most generously provided. He'd gone to sleep in his lovely mansion, then woken up in a dingy apartment, a filthy bed, and an awful, foreign, unfamiliar simian body! When he stands, wobbling uncertainly, he notes that his pristine white suit(which he does have to admit is quite nice) has become dirty, either from the bed, falling onto the floor, or both. Muttering a few curses under his breath, he begins to dust himself off, though he quickly starts to realize that this won't be nearly enough.

Once he spots the computer, he makes a beeline for it.

[There is a very angry looking blue-haired teen in the video, looking as though he's about ready to break something.]

I demand to know what kind of foolishness this is! I slept in my own bed last night and I wake up to this filth?! This is unacceptable! I don't know who will see this, but for those who do, I expect a full explanation!

Why would I-- Founder of-- Your-- Rrgh, shut up you chattering monkey!

[He doesn't have his usual feathers but Sakuya does a pretty good job of flaring up anyway, which is impressive considering overall he's not very big.]

Whoa, watch out. You're puffing up like a pigeon. [He seems pretty easy going about being called a 'chattering monkey'. It's a relief to see a rather snobby young man rather than a hideous ghost, after all.]

Anyway, has anyone told you about this place yet? Tape, locations, etc?

Dove! And no, I just woke up here and then you barged in and waved an axe at me!

[Really it's only appropriate that the Once-ler be the one to explain all of this nonsense to him. Hmph.]

[He holds up his hands placatingly.] Ok, ok, dove then! Sheesh.

[He takes a seat on the sofa and pulls his red tape off of his wrist.] Okay, first of all, you got this? It's important, and you're gonna need it. Second, I'm sorry I scared you, but I thought you might have been something else. When you've been here a while, you'll get to that stage too.

[Sakuya looks around, then spots the roll of tape on the desk and picks it up, looking it over as though it might have some magical properties.]

What dies it do, exactly? And what in the world did you think I was?

I can answer your first by answering your second before it. [He tosses his roll up into the air. Sakuya might notice that it's considerably more slender than his is.] I thought you were one of the more violent ghosts here. They've broke in before - I sometimes miss cracks, or don't use enough tape...

[A sigh. He scruffs his hair and slips the roll back over his wrist.]

The tape keeps them out. You put it around the doors, the windows, the cracks on the walls... [He points to each in turn where, sure enough, they're all bound up.] It keeps the worst of them out.

The worst? And what, exactly, are the worst ghosts? And why does tape keep them out?

[His voice is growing more and more disbelieving by the second.]

I have no idea why tape keeps them out. It just does.

[He sounds a little irritated, but takes a breath and tries to calm himself again.]

The worst ones are some kind of cat monster. White robed figures with hair falling down over their faces... they're pretty bad too. And there's a thing on the stairwell.

What kind of thing on the stairwell?

[He is taking mental notes, toying with the roll of tape in his hands. It's odd to have hands, but thumbs are wonderful.]

Do I look like I've stopped to ask it what it was? [He runs his hands through his hair. It's big and it's nasty. Just run if you hear it coming.

[That gets a shudder out of Sakuya, granted.]

Like the Scarecrow... are all of the things here ghosts?

Well... no. I'm not a ghost. [He gives a scarred grin.] Most of the residents aren't ghosts either. Some of them are monsters though... well, two of them. Twins, I think, Vice and Visi. Stay away from them if you wanna keep all your limbs.
