001 [video]

[The video feed flickers on as what seems to be a cover of some sort is lifted off the camera. The NV appears to be lying flat, looking directly up at a blank ceiling. There's a shadow moving just nearby, though apparently not paying the device much attention, and a voice, masculine, calm but laced with good humour, which seems to be talking to... ( Read more... )

... How long have you been here?

Video. deathlessness August 20 2010, 23:25:12 UTC

[That gives him pause, and he leans in to peer at the NV a little closer.]

Not too long, I'd hope, else I was lying in that field far longer than I realised.

Arriving unconscious? That's unlucky. [-- ah. flipping to video.] Are you feeling alright, sir?

Video. deathlessness August 21 2010, 00:01:48 UTC

Yes, unconscious. [Or rather, dead.] Terribly fortunate.

[A pause as an image appeared on his NV. Even more surprising...]

I've been better, I'm sure. But then, haven't we all?

Ah--

[wow, that mask. that kind of brings back some memories. not happy ones. not at all. no. hm.]

[longish pause.]

It's... Not hell. Really. Everyone's generally perfectly alive. You... know Mr. Yaha?

Video. deathlessness August 20 2010, 23:42:22 UTC

[Perfectly alive, eh? That was a pity. The video is shaky as he examines his NV again.]

Ah, of course, but the man I spoke to did say it may as well be, and in some ways I'm inclined to agree with him.

[There's a brief pause, that might have been thoughtful.]

I used to know him. [The faintest emphasis on "used to".]

Voice. payingthepiper August 21 2010, 00:10:14 UTC

It's not that bad- er, aside from... Well. Some ways. Right. [small pause.] The weather's a temporary thing, really-- or... hopefully. 'Air conditioning' is extensive here, at least.

Ah. [and another small pause. going to respect that emphasis. as he rambles slightly.] My name's Allen Walker. It's nice to meet you, Mister...?

But Urick ... I had to make sure that it was you and not some fevered wish of mine. To be able to hear your voice at all...

[video a.k.a. totally not realising other people can see him talking to "himself"] deathlessness August 20 2010, 23:20:25 UTC

If I told you it was a fevered wish, would you pipe down? Between you and the heat, my head won't last long.

[pact partner communication] barebacking August 20 2010, 23:22:49 UTC

I doubt that very much, Urick. Ah, I did not think that I would be able to say your name and actually be answered. I know that you are so much stronger than that ... you were able to see through my illusions, you were able to defeat my pact partner. Heat like this would not defeat you, because you are loved by death itself that it would never let you fall.

[video] deathlessness August 20 2010, 23:28:10 UTC

[A note of sardonic humour in his tone.] Yes, well unfortunately being spared from death doesn't spare you from headaches. Evidently.

[Rubbing at a temple again.]

Are you all right? [A pause. Did he say...Yaha?]

video; deathlessness August 21 2010, 08:53:29 UTC

Ah, well, that really depends on your definition of "all right". I'm in one piece, if that's what you mean.

video; ofthearcana August 21 2010, 16:54:10 UTC

And otherwise?
