o1 ✍ sharpe's introduction ✍ voice + video

Money in cards and saying me rifle’s been changed.
[ Except that’s not actually how he says it, it’s more like: munneh in cards and sayin’ me rifle’s been changed. Sheffield, Yorkshire haunts the streets of Exsilium now, thanks to one Richard Sharpe. ]
The only cards I know of are those given by weasely merchants looking ta fleece more money out of you. But you ain’t asking for money, are you? Yer asking me to fight with me blood and sweat, and you ain’t even decent enough to give me a half-ration of rum, or even a proper King’s shilling.
[ Thud. The sound of rifle on stone ground. There’s a soft shuffling sound and tapping of fingers on the screen of the tablet. The video switches on. ]
video;
Me name’s Richard Sharpe. [ Blond hair, green eyes, a scar on his upper left cheek. His lips are twisted into a scowl, and at the edge of the screen, you can see the edge of his Rifleman’s jacket. Have a picture.
If you met him during the masquerade, he's a lot cleaner now. Face-wise anyway. You can actually see what he looks like underneath the layers of dirt, and his hair isn't just a layer of dust anymore. ]
If yer name's Patrick Harper, I suggest you get yer arse over here before I shoot it off you.

Aye? What do you know of them, 'sides from what they've already said?

Another world ruled by politicians. That ain't much different from what I'm used ta.

This a story you'd like ta tell?
[ Why not listen, if someone's willing to talk about their homes. Sharpe is in an alien place, full of people he does not know and - he's starting to suspect - he can't assume about. He is an officer, and though that might not mean much in this place, he's still mighty interested in soldiers. ]

The finer details, though, are what he'd spare from any story. Those are better kept to the whispers of world and off the pages of any book.]
I fear my stories are not of much interest to anyone. I find that what is common in my time is common among others.
[video]
I'd believe that, if you tell me the time yer from.

[video]
Those of this time call it the Renaissance.
[video]
Yer behind me in time, aye?

[video]
You from Spain?
[video]
No. [Said flatly.] Italia.

What fer?
[video]
[That and he's taken a bit of a dislike to Spain thanks to the Borgias.]
