[It's clear Asato hasn't mean to put the communicator on video. He stares at the device and visibly flinches when the baron begins to talk about the supernatural. Even when not applied to himself, the ribika have a lot to fear in the realm of the supernatural, from demons to soul-consuming devils. To think that someone would want to learn more about these things is almost unthinkable when the first instinct should be to flee.
He bites his lip for a moment, glances around, and pushes a button on the device, trying to cut off the video feed. Wrong button; he's still visible and he can still see the baron.]
[Meanwhile, Alexander is watching very expectantly. He has dealt with awkward, bumbling sort of people before, but obviously never over... whatever distance is closed only by these little screens. Also, what are those ears?]
[He jumps, startled, and barely keeps from hissing at the screen. Instead he takes a second to settle down, then leans in, squinting against the light of the screen and trying to carefully observe the elderly baron.]
You said you want to learn about traveling between worlds...can you help me get back home?
Mm... I could certainly try, given the right materials. It all depends on just what powers and artifacts are available on this ship.
[Really, he only cares if it's enough to get himself home. But if he can find some way that fixes everyone else's problem too, sure, why not. Maybe it'll absolve him of all the other shit he's done (and is likely yet to do).]
[Heatwave laughs easily] Sorry. There are theories around here that it was a glitch with the FTL systems that brought us here. That fits with the environment of my world, at least.
[Man, paranoid people are just the WORST. Although if they prove to make baseless accusations about everyone and everything, on the off chance they do find out something true about him nobody will believe them.]
Don't be absurd. [He's got a collection already going at Brennenburg anyway.] I only want to get home, the same as everybody else stuck here.

[Cool your wrinkles you sly dog you. Bel is the best paranoid person ever. Pretty smile you see... if by pretty you mean kills children's dreams COLD.]
I am never absurd! [Only mentally unstable...] I doubt that anyone here could single-handedly handle this behemoth, human or no, da? I do not blame you as it is necessary for me to be home as soon as possible but---
[the most noncommittal shrug ever baby] Do tell if your search is being successful.
[A behemoth, huh? Someone sure thinks highly of herself.] As of yet I haven't found anything useful. Should that change, I'll be sure to let you know.
[BUT NOT REALLY, he does not like this lady's attitude and is less inclined to help her than other people. Who are already much lower in priority than himself anyway.]
Ah, yes... I'm curious - does the changing political landscape affect your perhaps in personality or other such things, or does what happens to you affect the nation?
[It's not going to help, but whatever, HE'S FASCINATED.]
It depends on how radical it changes, to be perfectly honest with you. In my own case, it changed the way I could do things and what I could and couldn't say, but my base personality didn't really change. Same with the opposite, I heal faster than most would, but it only shows up to the nation proper if it's inflicted for that sort of reason.
[Soft bit of a cough, lowering her voice a little, ahem.] Like, say, if I was doing something with someone and I was cut or bruised, it wouldn't affect anything but my physical self. But if I was revolting and am harmed in a fight about that, then it would show.

I've traveled through time and space but not between worlds. Such a feat would not be improbable though.

Starting up a collection, are you?

I wouldn't say supernatural but standard technically immortal unless we're dissolved and strength surpassing humans sort of bit.

I see. With other nations on board, I assume you must be careful with your interactions in them lest something happen back on Earth...?
