015 || video (backdated to a few days after the accident, but before the yami attack)

[At least this transmission is on more of a positive note, depending on how one would look at it.

Alister's seated at his dining room table with a fresh cup of tea, out of the clinic ~~whether it was of his own volition or not~~, and surprisingly looking a bit better than his last appearance. Sure, there's still a good deal of bandages adorning his face and he's still pretty haggard, but at least he's not dead.

And despite his adamance before, this was not intentional.

So the former-General takes a slow sip from his cup, clearing his throat politely when he finishes.]

I believe we're agreed to acknowledge that this week never happened.

[A little brash, considering its events. Though, is there a better 'i'm doing okay' than that, from someone like him?]

I've returned to the junkyard for now, and the security is disengaged.

[Wait Alister are you.

Inviting people in?

How hard were you hit, man?]

[There's a bit of stunned silence for awhile, after that. What could he even say?

There were so many people there that were so determined to get close to him, no matter how he snaps or what he does. Ratchet knew he condemned the rest of his family to death, as did Angela, but the two still chose to stick by him. And that... brings a small smile to the old Lombax's face, folding his good ear back and looking down, speaking quietly.]

I'd like to be your friend, then, Bianca.

[Bianca couldn't help but smile at that]

Then it's settled! From this day forth, Bianca will be Alister's friend no matter what!

Only because I can't convince you otherwise.

Haha, I'm sorry, I'm just that stubborn!

Anything I say to that would probably come back to bite me, wouldn't it?

Probably!

[She's friends with Cheren aka mister difficult]

Once I'm friends with someone, I'm going to stick with them!

Forgive me if I'm not accustomed to this; anyone I encountered in my home universe always just went for the price on my head.

Eh? R-Really? [That...was something she wasn't expecting]

...How come? You seem like a really nice person so I don't see why anyone would do something like that!

I wasn't always like this. Or, well, I was, until the destruction of my homeworld. Then it took a few decades before I was finally able to meet Ratchet and stabilize myself.

I'd inhabited another world and claimed some territory for myself, attempting to scare away the locals any way I could.

And then there was Nefarious' arrival...

Did they...destroy that world too?

No, no, I...

Well. I didn't help my image all that much.

But you did it so you could save all of them!

If they didn't treat you nicely after that, then they're just meanies!

At that time, I wasn't looking for praise.

...What happened after they arrived?

I played rebel for a couple years, disrupting whatever forces either Nefarious or Vorselon could throw out.

But you still saved the lives of so many people!

That's something!

They didn't seem to think so.

But...why?

It doesn't make sense at all! You save them so...they would have to treat you nicely...

Edited 2012-08-14 13:32 (UTC)

I'm also an exile, and should be treated as such.

But still...!

I don't believe it, no one deserves to be treated like that! You saw your planet destroyed, what you needed were people who should have helped you!

And why should they, if I had been the one to cause it?

But you're learning from it and you regretted what you have done...

Isn't that enough?

In some cases, yes. Here, you've no knowledge of what occurred on my world - no attachments to anything I have to say.

There is freedom here, but also pain.

[Ouch, how does Bianca try to help him? He is right, she doesn't know what happened back in his world. She really wants to help but how?]

You're right...I don't know what happened...

But that doesn't mean I can't try to help! If anyone else from your world or if anyone even tries to say otherwise, I'll be there to convince them somehow!

...I sincerely doubt they would try, Bianca. So you've nothing to worry about.

Besides, I think this is a learning experience for myself, strangely enough.
