[001 | Video]

[acemedium]

[Oh hello there, Exsilium, have the face of a bright-eyed girl that looks way too excited to be here. It seems after much technology abuse and generally failing at turning it on, she finally gets the video working! Success for a failure]

Don't worry, fellow kidnapped people of Exhelium! [That's 'Exsilium', Maya] You don't have to explain everything, I've got it aaaaaall figured out. In fact, I'm an Ace Explainer myself, so just sit back and let me break it down for you, Maya-style!

We're in future England! [This is probably the only fact she's gotten right, but-] Brought here by the United Earth people because they're being oppressed by the Initiative! [And then there's a pause for some very Deep and Philosophical Thoughts. ...Not.] ... I bet it's the tea. England's known for its tea, you know? Anyone would be jealous of that selection!

... But anyway, we've been brought here because we've got to go into the future to change the past! It's just like that movie with Mikey K. Box, except with tea on the line as well as time! [WHAT WAS IT CALLED AGAIN..... Oh, well]

But more importantly than all of that.... I have a question. [SUDDENLY SERIOUS? Look, she's even leaning into the camera all dramatically] A question that will change the fate of the entire world! [Whatever's left of it] Well, mostly me right now, but for everyone's sake, I need an answer!

[There's a long, long pause as she stares intently into the camera. And then:]

Where's the nearest burger joint? I'm starved! And if we're really in the future they must have invented a way for burgers to be even more delicious! Right?

[... And then there's a brief flash of embarrassment, and when she continues she's a little more low-key] ... Um, and how do I get to the housing place? Unit... 406, I think?

That was awesome!

.. Hey, why don't you try it too?

[whatsupcroc]

Wait!

[whatsupcroc]

You talk to dead people?

[whatsupcroc]

That's so cool!

[whatsupcroc]

And hang on, I've got this down.

[ She clears her throat! ]

Fey. Maya Fey.

[... Actually looks embarrassed for a second here] W-Well, I'm only in training....

[acemedium]

But yes! Um, well, actually, we spirit mediums channel the spirits into our bodies, so you can talk to them! [Or Maya could if she hadn't neglected her training. Oops]

[So yeah, let's quickly change the subject]

I KEEP LYING NOT /4

[acemedium]

[... But baww Collette thinks it's cool. BUT AHEM, MOVING ON]

[acemedium]

Not bad! Not bad at all. You got the cool part down.

done

[acemedium]

... But I meant doing your name! That way we can be secret agents together.

[whatsupcroc]

No way! You're aware of them the whole time? Is it like having two people together in the body all at once? There's nothing exorcist that happens, is there? That'd be dangerous, not to mention it'd totally suck. Possession is a terrible way to end a day, let alone a work day.

[whatsupcroc]

Right, I've got this covered too!

[ She clears her throat again. ]

[whatsupcroc]

Collette. Agent Collette.

[acemedium]

Well, actually....

[acemedium]

[... But no. More pressing matter here:]

Now that's what I'm talking about! Agent Collette.

[whatsupcroc]

Agent Maya Fey.

[ She mock salutes the camera. Maya had been about to say something else... she tucks that avenue of conversation away to pursue at a later point. Hopefully in person! It'd be too weird to only talk to people when training or at like a public meal or something. ]

Secret agents ready for action. Like Charlie's Angels, only down a member, and with no Charlie!

[acemedium]

[Maya gives Collette a secret agent nod of coolness. Except this is Maya, so she is not capable of being anything more than 'dorky', but details]

That's right! We should find a third, Agent Collette, and maaaaybe a Charlie. [Except everyone else is a jerk 8(]

[whatsupcroc]

Once we find a third, that's when we can consider an information agent. Until then? We're free operators!

[acemedium]

You got it! Begin scoping immediately, that's our new mission!

[whatsupcroc]

Keep me updated on likely prospects! I'll make sure to do the same.

[acemedium]

Will do! I'll be expecting your report, Agent Collette.
