exsilium | video

[The video feed is deliberate and the woman broadcast is someone obviously very serious about what she is about to say. While certainly beautiful the burn scars that spread across her face, half hidden behind a curtain of blond hair, only serve to intensify her severity. From here it doesn’t take a genius to see that behind her professionalism she is pissed. Hell hath no fury like a woman taken from her home world.

A cute little monkey sits on her shoulder within the feed frame.]

I will make this quick; I am General Klaud Nine of the Black Order. While this may not hold as much meaning here as it does where I hail from, let me assure you I do not intend to let my title go to waste during my stay here.

Any and all updated information concerning our situation with the United Earth that has not yet been documented - [as in she has yet to find out about through this weird-ass tablet thing] as well as an estimated number of reported transports currently here would be greatly appreciated.

Those that may hail from my world please report in.

Thank you.

[. . . What?

A General? No- no way. They were taking Generals now? He's not sure why it surprises him, it shouldn't, but—

It's an unwelcome revelation. And he switches the video on, right away.]

General Klaud Nine? [The name sounds... vaguely familiar?]

This is... Exorcist Allen Walker, [ah] reporting.

[Speak of the Devil and he shall come.

She stares at him - or rather, his projected image on the screen - like one would an insect for examination. Curiosity and concern flicker across her face very briefly before she exhales quietly.

He looks much younger than she remembers.]

You sound unsure, Mr. Walker. Have you forgotten me already?

I... [He's not sure he likes the way she's looking at him.

But he can guess immediately that she, too, must be from the... future. Just like Miranda, just like Kanda, and Lavi and Lenalee.

He's behind all of them. Why?]

I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met yet. [He runs a hand through his hair, glancing away briefly.]

The Initiative, it can take people from different- points in time.

So I've heard. [And now proven. At least she hopes is proven. Allen Walker never seemed like a deceitful boy- man, to her, but she couldn't be sure.]

How long have you been here? [Never mind she already asked Zelos that question.]

[This is surreal.]

Six months, General Nine. Since December.

And what do you remember happening before arriving here?

It was December at home, as well. I was going to join my comrades in Edo.

[A visible inhale and for a moment she says nothing.

Edo.]

I see. That is quite... an interesting point in time. I am sorry you were pulled away before you could join the others. [What can she even say.]

Are you well here?

['Interesting'. He's not sure if that's good or bad.

SOMEDAY... someday he will join them. He can't stop believing that.

With a brief smile:] Mm, I'm doing well.

I'm sorry, that you were also pulled away, as well. [a pause,] And that I've... forgotten you.

[Or, never knew her. Same deal.]

[A nod. Good.]

It can't be helped. Certainly no fault of yours, now is it, Mr. Walker?

Well-

no, but ... [what can he even say??]

[A breath;]

I know we can't help it.

I've been here a while, though, and I've learnt a lot about this place... So, if there's anything you still need answered, please let me know.
