[The feed is an EXTREME CLOSE-UP on Renji's eye as he peers into the lens, then pulls the device back and tilts it on its side. It's pretty obvious he doesn't really know what he's doing with this technology nonsense. He definitely looks a bit worse for wear--he's bleeding visibly and appears to have scorch marks all over his face and upper torso

I think you might need a band-aid.

[video forever]

[i_love_taiyaki]

For this? Nah, s'just a flesh wound. I've definitely had worse.

[headscratch] Who's this? I don't think I recognize your voice. D'you know where we are?

[video]

[wellsuited]

Really? What gave that to you?

[Color her interested.]

I'm Elena. And you're in Anatole now. I'm not sure if that's good or bad but...things seem to be working for most of us.

[i_love_taiyaki]

Jackass by the name of Szayel Aporro-Grantz. [He'll leave out the part where the burn marks are his own damn fault. He regards Elena for a moment, then scratches his head.]

Anatole? Where's that?

[wellsuited]

Well, the good news is that I haven't heard of anyone here by that name.

But...the bad news is, he's probably where you want to be.

At least until you've been here for awhile. It's really not so bad once you get used to it. Just don't wander too far into the Mist.

[i_love_taiyaki]

Mist?

[wellsuited]

Yeah. You think you're bleeding now? Wonder out too far into that stuff.

[...]

Actually...don't.

[i_love_taiyaki]

Yeah, I get that now... Someone sent me some info about it. Sounds like some scary shit. It's gonna take a little while to get used to all this new stuff...

--Oh, I'm Renji, by the way. Damn, that was rude of me. Thanks for the heads-up, Elena.
