vial #1 [audio/video]

[poison_earl]

[The first thing you hear is a faint rustling sound, as if the person handling the SC wasn’t quite sure how to work with it. After a moment, the Video is turned on and you are faced with a pair of striking golden-green eyes.]

Ah, is it finally working…?

[The British accent is clear in his voice. Cain places the SC further away, and his face

It does take some getting used to. [Fellow Brit!]

A pleasure to meet you, Earl Hargreaves. I am John Watson, formerly of Her Majesty's Royal Army Medical Corps.

[Video foreverrr]

[poison_earl]

[He appears surprised at first, but his look of surprise turns into curiosity. John Watson, was it? Surely he couldn't be the same John Watson that Cain was thinking about...?]

I am guessing it will take me some time to adjust to it, as well.

Likewise, Mr. Watson. I must admit, I feel somewhat relieved to have found a fellow British man in this place.

(ooc: ...I have the feeling I asked you about this once, but I can't remember your answer. Cain is from the late part of the 19th century so he'd know Sherlock Holmes/Watson/etc, so can I go ahead and have him recognize Watson from there? If not, I'll delete this comment and pretend it never happened. XDD)

[stalwartcane]

Ah, the younger ones do pick it up quickly enough. I'm certain you will have no trouble at all.

[smile] There are a few more of us, if you are inclined to meet them. First and foremost is the personification of our country himself, England. My colleague and friend, Sherlock Holmes, is also here.

(ooc: No problem at all!)

[poison_earl]

[Is that a small pout? Nah, it's probably just a trick of the light.]

I'm not that young, Mr. Watson.

[Yep, he definitely blinks at the screen now. And just as quickly, a small frown appears on his features.]

A... personification of our country? [Was that what the other person had meant, when he'd said "one of England's"?] And surely you don't mean... the Sherlock Holmes? Or is it just a fantastic coincidence that someone by the name of John Watson is friends with a man called Sherlock Holmes?

(ooc: Okay! :D «333)

[justtubeit]

Salutations, sir. I am Raidou Kuzunoha, of the Kuzunoha Detective Agency... I must confess, I had some difficulty with the device myself.

all video, all the time ;D

[poison_earl]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kuzunoha. A detective, hmm? I participated in a few investigations myself, back in my world.

XD

[justtubeit]

Is that so? Might I ask about them, sir?

[poison_earl]

Of course; I have no problem speaking about my experiences. I aided Scotland Yard in a few of their investigations, and solved a few others myself.

[prydefulsoul]

Wow you're an Earl?

[Video foreverrr] --I'm assuming she's using at least voice? So Cain recognizes her as a girl >>;

[poison_earl]

[Hello, hello. Cain's lips curl into a smirk.]

Indeed, I am. Does it intrigue you, Miss...?

orz it was video

[prydefulsoul]

Oh! Like how rude of me, I'm Kitty Pryde. I've never met an Earl before.

Mkay then! XDD

[poison_earl]

[That may or may not be a seductive smirk on his lips.]

In that case, I am delighted to be the first Earl you meet, Miss Pryde.

[cursed_tattoo]

An Earl, hm? [Thiiis is going into her notebook] Pleased to meet you, Mr. Hargreaves. I'm Rei Kurosawa.

[There's a pause before the video comes on, and the young woman looks a little exasperated] I'm not as used to such technology either, [She's from the late 80s/early 90s] but you look like you're from a time much earlier than I am.

[Small pause as she writes something in her notebook] You're British?

Videoooo forever.

[poison_earl]

That is correct. [He looks curiously at the screen, trying to find an image for this girl's voice; it's terribly strange to be using this device.] I am pleased to meet you as well, Miss Kurosawa.

[Ah, there she is. His expression goes back to his usually charming smile.] I must say you look a bit modern for my time, considering I came from the late part of the nineteenth century.

[He notices her scribbling down something, and can't help but smirk playfully.] I am, yes. Do you usually take notes about everyone you meet, or should I consider myself special in that regard?

[cursed_tattoo]

[Wild CAIN used CHARM

.....

It doesn't seem to be very effective...] Ah... That long ago? I'm from 1988.

[She raises an eyebrow and puts her pencil down] I takes notes on everyone and everything. I hope you won't mind answering a few questions?

[poison_earl]

[Well damn. :( One day, Rei. ONE DAY.]

Ah, I see... And yet, from what I've gathered, we are still out of date for this place. It's 2009 in Death City, is it not?

[He shakes his head and looks faintly amused.]

That would depend entirely on what kind of questions you ask, my dear.

[permatext]

[leftoverangel]

an earl?? i don't think that would matter much anymore here but hello earl cain. i hope you are well

[permavideo!] sob nill why so cute.

[poison_earl]

[Cain doesn't know the adorable creature behind this text message, so he's left wondering why her answer lacks proper capitalization. Sob.]

Ah, perhaps it really doesn't matter, but a gentleman always introduces himself in the most proper way possible.

I am as well as I can be, given the situation. What about you?
