[The video feed is deliberate and the woman broadcast is someone obviously very serious about what she is about to say. While certainly beautiful the burn scars that spread across her face, half hidden behind a curtain of blond hair, only serve to intensify her severity. From here it doesn’t take a genius to see that behind her professionalism she is pissed. Hell hath no fury like a woman taken from her home world.

A cute little monkey sits on her shoulder within the feed frame.]

I will make this quick; I am General Klaud Nine of the Black Order. While this may not hold as much meaning here as it does where I hail from, let me assure you I do not intend to let my title go to waste during my stay here.

Any and all updated information concerning our situation with the United Earth that has not yet been documented - [as in she has yet to find out about through this weird-ass tablet thing] as well as an estimated number of reported transports currently here would be greatly appreciated.

Those that may hail from my world please report in.

Thank you.

I hate to say you're wasting your time, but I believe you may be wasting your time.

[Or maybe he's just lazy and that's why these things seem needlessly hard. Both may be true.]

Or energy, at least. You're hardly the only one here with a fancy title and a rank. It seems like they enjoy ignoring us.

It is less of a waste to do something than nothing at all, but you are entitled to your own opinion.

A 'fancy' title such as mine is not meant for decoration. It is an obligation to continue performing my duties even when the situation as changed. Which is what I intend to do to the best of my abilities.

[fintastic]

There's probably a few hundred of us here! I mean just looking at all the people in the contact lists. But what do you mean, concerning our situation? IS there something they did not explain very well?

[Slightly raised eyebrow at the strange, gray-skinned child talking to her. Well then.]

What is reported on the contact lists may be not be entirely accurate.

I'm not asking for further explanations given by the Initiative, but what the transports here may know from their own personal experiences.

[Ah! That's a voice and name she wasn't expecting to see. Somehow she thought Generals would be immune to this sort of thing. Still, it's a relief to be able to look to someone for guidance.]

General!

Miss Lotto. [One out of the four reported exorcists on the contacts list.] Are you well?

[General Klaud Nine you are dreamy.]

Hi. Sofiya Karimov. Does that mean you're intending to fight for the Initiative?

[video]

Miss Karimov.

I intend to help protect the innocent civilians here until it is possible for me to return to my own world. If that means I fight alongside this Initiative, then yes.

[ Here, have a Lavi. A miserable, sickly looking one. Who also happens to be tiny.

He musters something of a smile, giving the camera a lazy wave. ]

I see they're even bringing in Generals now, huh.

[... What.

There are a lot of things to take note here. Might as well start with the top of the list.]

Indeed they are. What happened to you that would cause you to regress like this again?

[ oh for the love of —

this damned place doesn't quit or stop, does it. kanda doesn't particularly want to answer this call, especially in light with what was happening before he was brought here. and she's general, and he hasn't a clue as what timeline she may have been dragged from. it may very well before he came back, or when he gained the order's scrutiny. it was hard to know how much the generals exchanged information, too.

so when he fumbles with the device, and finally turns it on, his reply is as dry and cool as always, with the habitual tinge of irritation. ] General.

[So he really is here. Just as she read on the contacts list.

There is a brief pause before she answers, a soft sigh.]

Yu Kanda. You look well.

Black Order? Isn't that a group of Exorcists or something?

[oh look he paid attention to Allen once during dinner]

It is, yes.

Are you familiar with someone who is apart of the Black Order?

[. . . What?

A General? No- no way. They were taking Generals now? He's not sure why it surprises him, it shouldn't, but—

It's an unwelcome revelation. And he switches the video on, right away.]

General Klaud Nine? [The name sounds... vaguely familiar?]

This is... Exorcist Allen Walker, [ah] reporting.

[Speak of the Devil and he shall come.

She stares at him - or rather, his projected image on the screen - like one would an insect for examination. Curiosity and concern flicker across her face very briefly before she exhales quietly.

He looks much younger than she remembers.]

You sound unsure, Mr. Walker. Have you forgotten me already?

[demonbloodblade]

[The face that responds looks tired and has a reddened nose, along with that 'I have a cold' voice.]

You should get a text message along with this response. It will give you directions to access the records. A number of people have left information about previous encounters and missions in the network the device accesses. Once you digest that, you should have a better idea about what questions to ask about, well, everything.

[Her eyes become more appraising, now.]

And as a general... did you come through the ranks or are you pure academy? You don't look to be one whose family bought them a rank. Have you actually seen field action, fought in battles? I've known generals whose loyalty from their troops was bought by common shedding of blood, and generals who only fit their uniforms by diligent tailoring and a squad of caretakers.

[video]

[Seems like a common problem going around, she notices.]

Thank you.

[A slight eyebrow raise.] Where I am from, the organization I work for, it is impossible to attain general rank without any sort of battlefield experience. Even if it were possible to buy rank I do not have any family who could do so for me.

[It takes Nill a long, long moment to actually start listening to what this woman on her tablet is saying, because for a few seconds Nill is almost certain that she knows her. She can almost feel it in the pit of her stomach, and the feeling is surreal - it's not often Nill sees faces she doesn't know, but it feels like she does.

It occurs to her, a moment before anything Klaud actually says registers, that this woman is very beautiful.

The thought is wiped away almost instantly when the words "General" and "Black Order" register. Then she reads the comments, and... wow. There were a lot of them.]

Hello, Cloud. My name is Nill.

If you want to hold your title as general here, you may need to speak to someone in the Initiative. As far as I know there are no official ranks among transports.

Miss Nill, it is a pleasure.

That certainly seems like it from what I have seen so far, although I have little interest in establishing a rank system here.

How long have you been here, Miss Nill?
