[Video goes on to reveal a dark haired, nervously smiling teenager.] So… uhm… this kinda like the internet? Like facebook with vid-option

Oh great.

[He smiles back weakly.] Ah, hello Mr.von Bock. Uhm, 'Republic of Estonia'... I hope you don't mind me asking but how exactly does that work out. I mean not that I want to accuse you of megalomania or anything, but yeah... ehe

[He hesitates on the next bit.] 'Fixing our...' ... I didn't realize you could actually break time. And uh... does that serve any purpose? Being turned into kids, I mean.

[He looks rather skeptical. And it's good that Eduard doesn't mention that, he's paranoid enough as it is. Also, if you were to ask certain former classmates of his, 'Mr. Drake' lives to be an enigma.]

[thirdsquire]

Ah... okay... that's reassuring. I guess.

There are more people like you?

[He laughs and shakes his head.] It sounds more like they are trying to redefine 'downsizing' population.

Who are the 'Fates' you are speaking of anyway?

[Text | Same encryption... well sort of...]

You're too cute you know that? All this paranoia of yours is just adorable.

[thirdsquire]

[Sigh.] I hope you do realize that this is not me being paranoid, but merely protecting our interests? I can move more freely if people think of me as nothing but some teenager. And I really don't want to find out that one of our enemies has been hiding out on the island by finding him in my room, ready to strangle me in my sleep.

You really think there are people here who want to hurt you? I mean we're all kinda in the same boat, aren't we?

And as if you couldn't defend yourself, even in your sleep.

Cissie, being able to expect the best of all people is a great attribute. But it's highly unrealistic. There is always someone, who is just waiting to exploit the troubles of others.

Never mind that apparently the Red Hood is here and I wouldn't put it beneath him to attack me. And regardless of who is already here, who knows who else is going to arrive in the future?

Whether I can or cannot defend myself is not the point. I prefer not to get into the situation in first place.

[You'll need to encrypt for him since Kon fails at technology

[canttouchmyttk]

Sorry about that Alvin, I keep forgetting how protective you Bats are of your identity.

[Text | Encrypted and totally encrypting for you]

[thirdsquire]

[Though he'll come up to Kon's room and teach him once they are finished here, because seriously... this just won't do.]

Oh I know, Conner. That's why I'm reminding you.

[To Kon's credit, he's never really had to learn with Tim doing all the technological aspects of missions.]

Just to point out, my fake name is a lot better than Alvin. Or do you prefer Mr. Draper?

[Text | Encrypted forever]

[thirdsquire]

[So it's Tim's oversight not to have taught him sooner. Well, here's the chance to correct that mistake.]

Tim should be more than enough.

[He is not going to mention that back home he can't really use the Al Draper ID anymore, not after what happened in Germany.]

...Zombie invasions?
I neva' really considered government experimenting. I don' think so, since nobody seems ta be goin' around stabbin' people wid needles an' all. Dey said we're just tryin' ta find out what's wrong wid our worlds.

Nicetameet'cha, Tim. I'm Firo Prochainezo.

[thirdsquire]

Yeah, we had that some months ago. People coming back straight from their grave, flying through the sky and attacking pretty much anything that moved- it was like right out of movie. Just way more scary. Called themselves Black Laterns. I think there might be a connection to the Green Latern, but seriously who knows with those hero types.

I didn't quite think it would be that either, but it seemed smart to cover all the cliches first.

Nice to meet you too, Firo.

[hat_and_dagger]

Flyin'... What's da Green Lantern? Please tell me it ain' a god or somethin'.

So dat stuff really does happen? I know most a' dose government stiffs are jerks an' all but I didn' dey'd be dat low.

[thirdsquire]

Ah no… the Green Lanterns are the intergalactical police… or something like that at least. There's at least one of them with the Justice League, so they are definitely part of the good guys.

Well, not that I know of, but considering all the other stuff that happens back home it's very much within the realm of possible.
