Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face.  Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's

*He's not even going to question Gaignun being alive at this point.*

You're in Prospero, and it's not emulating Lost Jerusalem. You might have a hard time believing it, but we're actually there, in the 21st Century AD, no less.

*He nods with a worried look, then shakes his head.*

But I guess there's no sense worrying about it while we're here. We have enough on our plates already, if what happened this month is any indication.

[namedforcat]

No I suppose not. We should concentrate on what is ahead of us here. One more question though...Mary and Shelly, how are they holding up?

[want_a_vacation]

They're fine. Mary recovered fully from what Yuriev did to her and they're both keeping an eye on Jr. like normal. I think they still miss you, but they're not letting it upset them.

[namedforcat]

Thank goodness.

[He had known they were alive since he was able to say a quick goodbye, but Mary had still been hurt then. He knew that if it had been permanent Shelly would not have been ok. He also could not forgive himself for the fact he hadn't been able to prevent Yuriev from doing that.]

I'm glad they've been able to keep going. They should be fine as long as they have each other.

[want_a_vacation]

*He nods.*

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about them too much.

[namedforcat]

They're very strong girls, I shouldn't forget about that.

[want_a_vacation]

And I'm sure Jr.'s doing his part to help them out, too. In between making them chide him for being impulsive.

[namedforcat]

Of course. Between the two of them they have him surrounded. [He has to chuckle a little bit at the mental image.]

[want_a_vacation]

I'm not expecting the trip to be boring, that's for sure.

[namedforcat]

No, you'll have good company on it. Just don't let them boss you around too much. [See? Gaignun can be observant too.]

[want_a_vacation]

Hey, I'm not that easy to push around all the time!

[namedforcat]

Of course not. I apologize.

[want_a_vacation]

*Blink. Blink. Wait. Did someone just apologize for something they said to him?*

Ah, don't worry about it. To be honest, I'm used to everyone underestimating me. I'm not exactly an impressive kinda guy.

[namedforcat]

[Well, he was teasing you Allen, and was just concerned that he'd gone too far.]

You shouldn't sell yourself so short. After all, you've managed to keep up with your friends admirably.

[want_a_vacation]

*People never apologize for teasing him, he's just not used to it.*

I mostly supported them, though. Did stuff from the background, you know.
