[When the video comes on, it's dark for a split second before immediately pulling back on what appears to be a table in one of the rooms. The picture starts moving around quickly, and anyone watching may catch quick glances of a very happy small boy who seems to be the one holding it. The only certain sounds are that he's laughing and the constant loud banging sound implies that the tablet is being struck against something a lot.]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~
[It's a few seconds later that the sounds seems to have drawn the attention of another person, as indicated by footsteps suddenly approaching.]
No, Lloyd, that's not a toy. Give it to me, please. [The order is said kindly, but none the less, is an order.]
[After one more slap, the image finally slows down. It finally turns to get a good look at the ceiling, which immediately rushes backwards a bit.]
So what is it, Daddy?
[The picture them seems to be moving, getting a quick shot of Kratos' face before it comes to a rest against his thigh. All that can be seen is the darkness of his black pants, with some background scenery visible around the edges.]
Something used for talking with other people.
Ohhh? HIIIIIIIIII! [It sounds a lot like Lloyd has just walked up behind it and started shouting.]
It isn't turned on right now. You can't talk with anyone unless it's on.
Then turn it on! [Suddenly small fingers appear on the edge of the screen, starting to pull the picture back from its focus on Kratos' pants.] I wanna talk to Mommy!
...You won't be able to talk with mommy using this. [His voice sounds the slightest bit shaky. Kratos doesn't loosen his grip on the device.]
[The fingers don't move from their spots on the screen.] Why not? You said we can talk to people!
[The tablet doesn't budge.] Not everyone, mommy included.
[And fingers still won't budge.] But I wanna talk to her! Where is she?
[There's a long silence on Kratos' part.] Somewhere far away.
Then let's go find her! [Lloyd sounds very cheerful and totally up for this.]
[After a heavy silence, he pulls the device from Lloyd's fingers and sets it down on a table and giving everyone a lovely view of the ceiling again.] No. Right now, daddy has to go take a bath. [Short pause] Do you want to come with?
[There's a quiet thump, almost as though Lloyd jumped.] Yeeeahhh! Let's have a splash fight again!
[A small chuckle can be heard.] If you'd like.
[He says nothing else, the sound of small feet running away from the direction of the tablet being evident. A second pair of footsteps can be heard also walking away. Silence fills the air for a few minutes, being then broken by the sounds of splashing and Lloyd's happy laughter. These noises continue for a few minutes, then they stop and footsteps can be heard approaching. The upper half of Kratos comes into view, shirtless and drying off his hair with a towel.]
Lloyd, put on your clothes. [He glances in the direction of the tablet and pauses. Oh. It's on. Had that been on the whole time? Whatever the case, Kratos picks it up.]
This city is one which exists in another world, isn't it? I... have been here before, correct? Or rather, I am presently here but something out of the ordinary is altering time, going off others' posts on this network.
[As Kratos speaks, a very naked behind of a little boy can be seen behind him and walking out the door.]
Unless a city, if memory serves, in the midst of war is intent on using infants and teenagers to secure a victory. I would appreciate it if someone could explain the situation in full to me. Should anyone know details pertaining to my own time here, those would be appreciated, as well. Finally, is there some place I might purchase children's toys or coloring supplies?
[And that should be it. He reaches to turn off the device.]
Lloyd, are you dr--
[He stops. Surprise instantly flashes across his face, followed by worry. The communicator gets dropped on the table, face down and the sound of Kratos running around can be heard.]
Lloyd?! [More running.] Lloyd!
[The footsteps get softer again before growing louder. Lots of rummaging and noises follow, one loud thump being Kratos tripping over something while haphazardly putting on some pants cause getting arrested for indecent exposure would only make finding Lloyd take longer. The tablet suddenly gets picked up, its owner looking frantic and a mess.]
If anyone sees a three year old boy running around without any clothes on, contact me immediately. [The device powers off... and powers on again.] Put some clothes on him if you are able. [And off permanently.]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha~

Additionally, seeing Mithos as something other than the twisted megalomaniac angel is impossible. Looking at the face of this boy fills him with hatred at the same time as it does pain. Hatred towards the man he'll become and hatred towards himself for ever allowing it to happen. It's the hatred, rather than the pain, which shows as he speaks.]
Do not contact me until whatever is going on has come to an end, understood?
[ Video ]
There was silence as Mithos shield his face from sight trying to hold back any questions that were forming in his head. When he does speak he's trying to stay as steady as possible. ]
Understood...
[ Video ]
Good.
[Nothing else gets said as the tablet gets turned off.]
