[A splinter and a crack, a bit of a splash. Yes, this particular feed isn't the cleanest to come about, and the recipient that appears none too long after doesn't look as hot, either. He's definately just woken up from... something, that's for sure, and isn't the slighest bit pleased about it.]

Ahh... where...?

[Another rustling noise, and the General realizes what he's holding... or he would have, under normal circumstances. Whatever it was, it was the most ridiculous-looking device he'd ever see--

It was on.

A moment of confusion, then his brow comes down. With no knowledge as to where he was, or how he'd gotten here, for it to be broadcast to an unknown public was simply, downright demeaning. Whatever was in charge, he would be sure to have a few choice words with them.]

Von all den elenden--!

...

[The Lombax sighs, pinching the brim of his nose. An interesting situation, indeed.]

If there is any sentient life out there, speak now. I'm not in the mood for games.

I'm going to sound like a shattered Infobot at this point, aren't I? No. I don't.

Though you're, perhaps, the most familiar species by far. Markazian?

Human. ... half-humnan, half-demon actually.

[Might as well put it out there now.]

Sorry, I just figured it was worth askin'... I'll leave you alone if it's botherin' you that much.

[double_edged]

...I'm just sorry to disappoint. Whatever happened between my departure, my home realm, here and... however this timeline is wrapping around, I have no knowledge of this city, or its inhabitants.

I don't know you, nor anyone else.

video;

[keepsthefire]

... it's fine. Probably... probably better that way...

video;

[double_edged]

You're about the first to say that, thus far.

[keepsthefire]

We... weren't exactly bein' nice to each other, before you left.

video;

[double_edged]

Not trusting a foreign face is not something to be taken personally. It would make no difference, nonetheless.

video;

[keepsthefire]

No, I mean... we were friends.

video;

[double_edged]

...again, not a unusual concept. I don't... keep 'friends' long.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Eh... it was a stupid argument over stupid things and I was too busy bein' pissed to talk to you about it.

Can't say I'm very good at the friends thing either.

[Even though really he is, he's just selling himself short for the sake of feeling guilty over what happened.]

[double_edged]

...hrn.

I'm afraid I don't have a vast enough knowledge of the situation to give a valid view on things yet. But then again, it seems pointless to grudge one you don't even know.

video;

[keepsthefire]

... yeah, can't really argue with that. You're probably right.

video;

[double_edged]

We're not friends. Not yet.

Allies, perhaps.

video;

[keepsthefire]

I'm fine with that.

video;

[double_edged]

Good. We have that established, at least.

Now then, any ally of mine requires a name to go by. Since you seemingly know my own, why don't we reacquaint ourselves?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Oh uhm. Rin Okumura.

video;

[double_edged]

...hmm. No, still doesn't ring a bell.

Well. Anyway. The past stays where it is, and all that. I trust you'll keep in touch?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Didn't think it would. The whole... forgettin' you were here before is pretty thorough.

But yeah, I will.
