[ For the first few seconds of the feed, a middle-aged guy is staring hard into the camera, looking perplexed. Probably a common sight on the network whenever a newcomer appears, but this guy is wearing a green-and-white eyemask along with a smart-casual shirt and tie, like he started to dress up as a comic book hero but got lazy after that. He can ( Read more... )

Why do you sound more like you're job hunting and less like an actual hero?

... never mind, don't answer that right now. Are you okay? Sounded like somethin' spooked ya there.

[ Sounding much more affronted than shocked, a real mood whiplash-- ]

Huhhh? I'll have you know I'm the real-- oh, oh. Yeah! Uh. [ Backing off, mussing his hair. It already looks mussed like he did that to calm himself down and failed. ]

Some hell of a bug just appeared out there, at least I think it was a bug... Gave me a fright like nothin' else. [ Cautious glance out the window. ] ... Those aren't normal around here, right?

forever and ever? batmanmecha September 11 2011, 02:06:03 UTC

Oh, that thing? Yeah, they're normal. Only after dark, though. Uhhh... try not to get stung, man. They have a nasty bite. And you might want to get inside. Like. Soon.

to infinity and beyond! beardedveteran September 11 2011, 10:06:43 UTC

I guess that'd be part of the 'Darkness' that guy was talkin' about. Damn. [ A sigh ] I'm inside, I'm inside! This apartment is... well, not too bad considering it's free rent.

zoom zoom zoom! batmanmecha September 11 2011, 10:11:45 UTC

Yup, that'd be it.

Good. No one should have to deal with that crap for to long on their first night. And yeah, Tower Apartments ain't too bad. I haven't been there in months, but it was a nice place for a first apartment in a whole new world.

beardedveteran September 11 2011, 11:19:42 UTC

Tell me about it, there's a shower and everything! Could have better phone reception, [ Lifts his iPhone to thumb at the screen, and sets it aside, shrugging ] but ah well. New world, huh... That's kinda extreme just for Canada, isn't it?

batmanmecha September 11 2011, 15:06:16 UTC

Well... it's either new world entirely, or just a different time from where I came from. I still haven't figured that out. I mean, we got Canada where I'm from, but when no one's even heard of a Gundam or been on a space colony before... kinda makes me wonder, yehknow?

[shrugs]

Anyway, you're right, it could totally be worse. But uh, you're probably not gonna get any reception on your phone. At least not right now. I've heard some people have been takin' their electronics to some place in the Underground Mall and getting them fitted with things to make 'em usable here.

beardedveteran September 11 2011, 16:45:12 UTC

Space colony...! [ He raises an eyebrow at that, but does little else other than sit back some, looking thoughtful. Sure are a lot of different people here. ]

--Really? That sounds like something I oughtta check out. But my PDA, this thing I'm using to make calls right now-- I can't call anybody other than whoever's on the network, and my phone's the same. What d'you think's up with that? [ And now you've proved to be a better technician than he is, he fully intends to press you for answers ]

batmanmecha September 11 2011, 17:13:28 UTC

Yup. Space colony. [Duo is completely used to that reaction by now.]

Oh, yeah, that. This place did the same to me. See? [he vanishes from sight long enough for him to move to a room that's got a mirror, holding his own PDA-NV up so it can be seen.]

Everyone's got something like that here. Not sure how it's done or how some one can just... give you something without your knowledge, but once you arrive here, you get an NV. Might look like something you owned before, might not.

beardedveteran September 12 2011, 22:26:01 UTC

[ Leans forward once more to see the other guy's PDA, nodding vaguely in understanding. He tugs at the band of his own PDA on his wrist, although it's not visible from the video feed. ]

So this isn't the same thing I had in Sternbild... Crazy how they got the functions exactly the same, though. [ Glances back up ] You're pretty clued up, ah... Have you stayed here long?

batmanmecha September 12 2011, 22:37:05 UTC

Iiii've been here since...

[pauses, turning the NV back while counting off on his fingers]

Since February. So, like, eight months.
