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.

Countries?

[standtallbroken]

Uh huh.

[duelkeys]

You're another one of those?

[standtallbroken]

Uh huh. There're more of us on board?

[duelkeys]

I know of three. But I don't think they want people to know that they are.

[standtallbroken]

Oh, yeah... maybe that wasn't such a great thing ter say, huh.

[Awkward laugh]

Oh well! Least I'm not alone!

[duelkeys]

I don't think it matters. If you look around there lots of people that aren't human.

[standtallbroken]

Yeah? Huh. That's true. There were all those lumpy things with the paperwork.

[duelkeys]

Do you have a name or do you have to make one up?

[standtallbroken]

Nope. I have a name. Alfred Jones!

[duelkeys]

That one's a lot easier to say.

[standtallbroken]

That so? You can call me that. [Thumbs up.]

[duelkeys]

My name's Roxas.

[standtallbroken]

That's a strange name! I like it!

[duelkeys]

I get that a lot.
