First shot

[standtallbroken]

[Suddenly, a pair of bright blue eyes that look really tired.]

...How's this thing work? Does that light mean it's working?

[The eyes pull back a bit to show a rather youthful face, slightly lean from malnutrition and maybe a bit dead around the eyes.]Y'know, I'd thought I finally had some good news, seein' the battle at Gettysburg over and all.

Re: [Video]

[Alfred is startled to hear his normal name coming out of the guide. He peers at the screen at the stranger on the other side, not quite trusting the moving pictures themselves.]

Yeah, that's me. Who're you?

Oh... sorry. Uhm, my name is Amaterasu. Someone spoke about you before.

I can't believe you actually showed up.

Re: video

[standtallbroken]

...Yeah, course I did!

...Wait, you got any idea what's goin' on?

Re: video

[volcanisms]

The world is gone, apparently. Just like they said.

Re: video

[standtallbroken]

Aw, man... Just when things were lookin' up.

But wait, how come we're still around, if it's gone? [That might've been half of why he wouldn't believe it at first.]

[onewithwild]

America?

[standtallbroken]

Damn, lotta people seem to know who I am.

[onewithwild]

Ah, sorry.

You used to be here, but I guess you don't remember.

[standtallbroken]

I...used to be here? Huh?

[bullysandwicher]

It's true, either you want to believe it or not.

[standtallbroken]

But...Then how'm I still here?

[bullysandwicher]

Wormholes.

[standtallbroken]

Wormholes? [Yeah, he's trying to figure out how those little crawly things are to blame for all of this.]
