Intro Video; un: bat.enthusiast

[super_sane]

[The video opens to show the Capital World in the distance.]

It looks so much like my Earth, and yet..I know in my heart that it isn't.

[The device's camera is turned to show the serious expression of a new arrival. His blue eyes reflect a sort of sadness in them that he's certain plenty of people in Riverview have felt upon arrival.]

My apologies. I hope no one was brought down by my speaking aloud. A bad habit of mine, I'm afraid. My name is Ashley Flournette. My friends call me 'Ash'. [He gives his fancy pants brown hat a slight tip. A silent 'hello' to go with his introduction.]

It'll feel less like earth after awhile.

[super_sane]

I get the feeling this isn't a good thing.

[bringbackgold]

Why so?

[super_sane]

I rather like Earth. Although there may some interesting creatures here that aren't seen anywhere else...

[bringbackgold]

There certainly are things here that aren't on Earth.

The pastels are a good reminder it's not Earth. More Alfheim, yet I doubt it is as sugary.

Re: video » @LOKIOFASGARD

[super_sane]

[Too true stranger, too true. Flournette nods in agreement.]

That does help, but Alfheim?

[He looks as intrigued as he sounds.]

[ikols]

Realm of the Light Elves, very similar in hues by comparison.

[super_sane]

I see.

[He doesn't sound too surprised, at least.]

Back home they're more of a legend for us, though some of our metas resemble something akin to elves.

[ikols]

Metas. I've heard that term before, it's all a bit more messy where I'm from. [ His tone quirks with an innocent inquiry, ] Do you happen to know your universe designation, Mister Flournette?

It doesn't much remind me of Earth but I've become painfully aware here at how far behind I am from everyone else here.

[The teenager that replies has one eye, looks a little bored, and speaks with a distinctly British accent.]

Welcome to Riverview, Ash. I'm Ciel Phantomhive.

Re: video | @cphantom

[super_sane]

Oh? Ah, I believe the video I saw mentioned this. Different people pulled in from different times?

[British people, am I right? Ash offers a small smile.]

Sounds like a classic spy movie character's name. I like it.

video

[sweetlies]

Exactly so. Some are from good distance into the future.

[He likes being British.]

Spy movie? Jason's mentioned movies, like moving pictures but longer? I haven't seen one yet though.

video

[super_sane]

Hmm..very strange.

[Who doesn't?]

No, I suppose you haven't. Do they have movies here? Perhaps you can take this Jason to see them.

video

[sweetlies]

You're not the only person to say as much.

I believe they do but we haven't seen one yet. Neither of us have had the time, and this memory-dream nonsense lately has left many people exhausted. [Mentally, mostly.]

[deathkid]

It's anything but. For one thing, the colors don't really match. Your world must be weird if they do.

video; un: ghostking

[super_sane]

Maybe it is. A bit of the 'new arrival blues', perhaps.

[deathkid]

You wouldn't be the first to be unhappy about being here. But you should probably make the best of it while you're here.

[super_sane]

Any suggestions?

[deathkid]

Keep yourself busy. If you have any powers like some of us here do, or know how to fight, you could always leave the quarantine to fight monsters or something. There's jobs available. And since I guess you like bats, you could always get one for a pet. There are caves in the forest.

[ Jason had been stalking this once he finally checked his phone and saw the name. Replaying it multiple times looking for any tells in the voice. Any signs in the face. Video made it harder for him to do so.

That bowery accent comes through clear even if he sounds tired as all Bat's seem to off duty.]

Your not on earth, nothing like it. Everyone else probably answered your questions but, I'm curious Mr. Flournette, whatever will you do with yourself without any bat's to study.

[ He's hackles were raised even if he couldn't even try to ID the man on video something inside of him twisted and brought out the pure attitude he was known for back home.]

Re: @givesyouhell - Audio

[super_sane]

[Well aren't you just the rudest little boy?]

I was thinking about looking at the creatures this place holds. Especially now thanks to your bat revelation.

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Rude and proud, look at the monster you made, sir. ]

You might want to not do that without one of the Guards or a freelance fighter. Those monsters can be a bitch.

[ The sound of a chair creaking can be heard. But, it was still just audio on his side.]

[super_sane]

[Hey now, he was a twat before that. Joker just...gave him the right push. Iron is important in a young man's life.]

I've heard they can be dangerous. Would you happen to be one of those people?

[Ah, a creaking chair. If only he could strap you to one right now and beat you bloody.]

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ A little LESS of a twat. Thanks for that PTSD Mr. J, TOO MUCH IRON! ]

I would, but I am far to busy to offer my services.

[ Which was bullshit, but he was moody tonight from lack of sleep.

Watch it, or it might be you strapped to the chair.]
