Um, hello, everyone.

[He sounds a bit uncertain. Possibly because he’s never talked into a magical piece of paper that will supposedly connect him to dozens of others who’ve been brought here to save a world they’ve never heard of before.]

I, um – I was told that this is the way to contact everyone brought here by the Initiative, like me. My name is Med’an, and…I’m one of the new guys here, I guess.

[This is awkward. What do you say to strangers you’ll be fighting alongside? Wait, he’s done this before…sort of. He marshals his inner hero.]

I – I may not be very experienced in war, but I will help. It’s my duty, back home, and…now it is here too. So – I look forward to working with everyone. Good day.

[That sounded good! Very heroic and professional. And then there’s a few moments of fumbling around trying to turn the magical paper off.]

Hello to you. You are going to help? How interesting. Most people are yelling for their captors' blood.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[YOUR FACE IS ON THE MAGIC PAPER ok anyway.]

"Captors' blood"? But....they're not our captors - I mean, they sort of are, I guess...but they're doing this to help their world. They need our help.

[Guess who is kind of gullible and believes whatever is told to him?]

[ It's called a camera. ]

That they do, but most tend to see it as not their fight.

[Business as usual. Thrall's just barely paying attention, but something in the boy's voice gets him-- and then there's the name. He clicks on the video feed, though with a trace of caution. There are always those about who might resort to trickery to gain his attention or trust, and they seem to turn up every week.

It's been a while. A long while, since their brief meeting.

Thrall tugs his hood back, displaying his wrinkled face and prominent tusks. Looks like Thrall isn't the only green one here anymore.]

Med'an?

[He might just be a kid, but their chances just got a whole lot better.]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[HOLY SHIT. thralls balls THATS THE WARCHIEF ON HIS MAGIC PAPER. Although they've never really been introduced, Med'an can recognize him. Who can't? Man, this day is exciting. ]

Warchief Thrall! It's - an honor to speak to you! [He feels like he should bow, but without knowing how to use video it won't really do much...]

You've been brought here to help, too?

[shamanism]

[Thrall isn't sure how he feels about the sudden fanboying. Embarrassed, maybe.] The honor is mine, young Guardian, though I am not Warchief any longer.

This world is in dire need of help. I have my doubts about their methods even so. Not only have they taken us against our will, but they are using time as their weapon. There have been... side-effects. [He's surprised Nozdormu himself hasn't come out to yell at them.]

[ It shouldn't surprise her that the Initiative chose a child to fight for their cause, but it does. The death knight will sigh quietly and try to think of what to do, what to say... ]

Well met, Med'an. If I may ask, what do you know of war?

[ It's best to gauge it now and work on his skills than wait until another disaster strikes, she supposed. ]

[audio]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[congratulations, you're the first DK Med'an has met :D He's a little confused by the funny voice, but maybe it's just cause she's a Forsaken.]

Well met, my lady. I...I've fought to protect the world. Although you probably haven't... I mean, you probably haven't heard about it, or anything. It was - sort of secret.

[...that probably doesn't sound very impressive. IT WAS, OK. HE FOUGHT A GINORMOUS OGRE. Oh wait, maybe he should namedrop the ogre, that will help.]

Have you heard of the ogre Cho'gall? Of the Twilight's Hammer?

[ video ]

[formerglory]

[ A Forsaken and a death knight. But, don't worry, she's a good one. ]

Oh, please call me Cairistiona or Knight Vyeth, if you must. I'm flattered that you would refer to me as a lady. [ She likes kids and is touched that he called her a lady. ]

[...] Is that right? Why would your deeds be covered up? They should be honored.

[ The name is familiar to her, even if it's just a memory at this point. ]

Yes, I have. A group of heroes went in and killed him in the Bastion of the Twilight, correct?

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Just remember that nobody is gonna force you to fight, kid.

[audio]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[BUT HES AN HERO, EDDIE!]

But I want to fight. I mean, I want to help.

[audio]

[asskickersunite]

You gotta be careful about that. Folks can spin a pretty tale without actually telling you the whole thing.

Me? I'm not fighting for these Initiative guys. I'm fighting to keep the Transports safe.

Med'an! [ Forget audio, guess who recognizes that name? The voice not so much, but technology has a strange way of easily disguising it. ] You have been brought here as well? By the Light, the more allies that come here, the more at ease my heart feels.

[ Although it is leaving Azeroth in poor shape. ]

The discussion of war can wait for another time. Tell me of your studies. I am the most eager to hear of them.

audio

[breakin_ur_lore]

[OMG ITS JAINA. Jaina is nice. :D This is cool, there are a bunch of cool people here! And no bad guys like Deathwing or Arthas right]

Jaina! It's good to see you again! [Wags tail.] My studies have been wonderful. I love working as a paladin.

[He pauses. Speaking of paladins, and since he's already met Thrall, Jaina and a death knight...] Is uncle here?

forever video on her end, audio on his end until state otherwise because SUBJECT LINES

[crymoore]

No, I am afraid I have not seen him since my arrival. It was fortunate that the Skybreaker was able to provide aid to the champions I traveled with and myself.

[ At least she speaks fondly of him. ] The battle in Icecrown has hit a pressing point, but ah... That sort of thing is 'history' in this land. Have you not heard of the latest news of Azeroth?

[life_binder]

[ Oh. This is just breaking her heart, it is. ]

My dear, it need not be your duty if you do not wish it.

[Woah, that....is a really beautiful and really otherworldly woman. Even through the communicator he can tell there's something special about her. Like maybe she's a demigod or something]

audio

[breakin_ur_lore]

M-my lady, I want to help these people.

[Because he's a big strong hero. Right?]

[life_binder]

And how do you intend to do that?

[slingshots]

how is it your duty back home? sounds like they handed you a bum job, spud

[breakin_ur_lore]

[Did he just get called a spud.]

It's my job to protect people. Don't you have people like that on your world?

[fe_male]

Indeed the way to contact people. Most messages, call for help, spread something you find funny, speak what's on your mind - it's like the facebook wall from hell, basically. Doesn't really get any better.

[breakin_ur_lore]

[It takes him a second to sort all that out.]

It does sound sort of convenient. I mean, being able to just open up a scroll and talk to someone.

[ninthserenade]

...You mean you're actually gonna fight?

[breakin_ur_lore]

Isn't that why we're here? [SOUNDING A LITTLE UNCERTAIN OF HIMSELF...]
