First Cross [Video]

[The screen flickers to life to display the face of a man with unkept brown hair with a seemingly pleased smile on his face.]Well well. It looks like I've figured out how to make this thing work. Some kind of camera, apparently. I'm not too much for keeping journals, but I guess there's going to be plenty of time for me to do anything I want, so I

[Where to even start?]

...Ruler?

[video]

[notanexplorer]

Heh. That's right. Lord and master. But we'll hold off on that till I know what the hell is going on here.

[video]

[iceandivory]

Right. [Snort.]

You've been transported to another world, a failed experiment involving space and time. What you'll do here would hardly be considered ruling.

[notanexplorer]

[A brief pause. Taking it in...and...]

Damn. And I had such great plans for back home. And all the time in the world to complete them. So what is there to do in this dump, anyway?

[neverquitedies]

[Several emotions flash across Folk's face lightning fast.]

[Voice] But he'll still be adorable!

[notanexplorer]

Damn right. Dora Folk. And you are?

[cornered_circle]

What kind of ruler? Imperial? Metric?

[notanexplorer]

[So he laughs at the pun, halfheartedly, of course.]

Imperial--or I guess Empirical, to be more precise.

[cornered_circle]

Never 'eard of that kind of measurement. Is it new math?

[notanexplorer]

Something like that. It'll come to pass soon enough. Who're you?

[ff_red_turk]

... Subjects ?

[notanexplorer]

Yeah. You know. Like peasants or serfs?

[ff_red_turk]

[Blink. Blink.

No, he quite obviously does not know.]

[notanexplorer]

People to control.
