[video] The one with awkward not-intros

[lar]

[ Look who managed to figure her tablet. The setting is just outside the city. ]

Okay then, let me see if I got it right.

[ The camera focuses on the girl with the long, wavy dark hair and the calm expression. A little too calm for a newcomer, maybe, but Ella has seen some shit, really. ]

Different world, the future. We’re on a mission to save something or other from someone or others, right? And we travel through time? Am I tripping? I’ve never done drugs, so I can’t really tell if I’m stoned. Seriously, I just saw a guy twice my size with a sword as big as myself.

[ Better play it cool, better not say out right she has seen far weirder. You can never be too sure.

Ella looks back, as if she could still see the guy she was talking about, and keeps talking. ] So, they let me walk out of that building with a bag of marbles and I just walked myself into the city…town. Slums? This place looks like crap, no offense. Are we going now? I could really use a distraction.

[ A beat. ]

Can I go to the bathroom first? My bowels aren’t all that interested on time travel just yet.

[ Don't forget to check her permissions post! ]

Don't sweat it, I just remembered myself.

Nice to meet you too. Adapting well, then, I hope? It can be weird but cool, right?

[He wishes he could agree, but he can't quite bring himself to openly disagree, either.]

Can't help but miss home.

[ But she likes to debate! ]

Then I gotta envy you. Was it nice over there?

[perdre]

It - [he thought so. Then he came here and found out the best part about it is supposedly a lie.] It was.

[... Was.]

[lar]

Oh.

Did I just ask too much? Sorry about that.

[perdre]

No, no - I was just - I remembered something. It's okay.
