[VIDEO:] [A face comes across the screen that is startlingly white, with large blue eyes that lack pupils. He looks over the device, scowling slightly, before looking into the camera and speaking.]

So, what am I supposed to say here? This whole damn situation is unreal. I can barely fuckin' believe it. "Transport"? More like "canon fodder" I'm sure. This is like some bad dream. Like I fell asleep while watching a bad action movie or somethin'.

I don't got time for this shit. I bet most of you don't, either. I got somewhere to be and someone to find.

...

Is there a red-headed guy with horns here? Big scar on his mouth? Tell him Johnny's lookin' for him.

[ACTION for roomies:] [A tall young man enters the apartment, looking angry and a little overwhelmed. He's wearing an old hoodie and jeans that have seen better days, and there's a guitar case strapped around his back. After a few awkward moments of silence, he'll speak up.]

I'm the new guy. Which room's mine?

[Nope, it's just a fashion statement.]

We can't be positive, not without actually going back home, but there's enough reason to believe it for now. [She laughs.] And don't worry, you're far from the only one. I don't know anyone here that trusts the Initiative.

Yeah, he sounds like he'd be easy to find. Friend of yours?

[charming_jerk]

Anyone who would trust 'em is an idiot.

Yeah, been lookin' for him for two years now back home. Figure the chances he's here are slim, but I gotta ask.

[tequilaselai]

No kidding. I've been here... [She pauses to count the time in her head] ...about four months, and I still haven't found any reason to to trust them. They're all pretty incompetent, to be honest.

Well, you never know. I came here with a friend from home, and others have been coming in every now and then since then. You might run into him yet.

[charming_jerk]

I don't even know if he's still alive, so if he shows up here, I'd be a miracle.

Four months? Damn. Have they made ya go off into any battles 'r whatever yet?
