Intro Video; un: bat.enthusiast

[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.]

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.]

That does sound troublesome. Well I'm sure you'll be able to go soon enough. I wonder how similar your reaction would be to any of our first times watching.

Mm, it is. Hopefully you'll be lucky and arriving now will spare you the mischief.

[Color his curious.] If you don't mind my asking, what was that like?

That would be preferred.

It was almost strange, seeing something that looked like pictures moving and speaking. I recall being enthralled by the bright colors and outlandish characters.

[His good eye lights up a bit, like a normal childs should.]

The moving picture in Leeds, photographs, we don't have them in color. Like these devices.

Right. Well you aren't too far off, I don't guess.

[Kinda. Depends. Moving pictures started doing just that pretty far back...but Ciel is likely already aware of this.]

It's the closest comparison I have, I'm afraid.

[He really hates being so far behind.]

I understand.

Well, if your friend Jason doesn't end up coming through, let me know. It would be nice to have someone show me the different things to do, their interests, what have you.

[He manages a polite smile.]

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. [Whether Jason can manage or not, he'll probably keep in touch with Ash.]
