1st Mistake; video
[Two lavender eyes stare deeply into the camera, leaning in too close.]
Testing, 1, 2, 3! Um, hi? Oh good, it's working...
[Mahdi slides backward. He's in the dining area of one of the assigned apartments. The guy looks about fifteen, and was clearly plucked right from his job: he's wearing a clean but old and stained black apron over khakis and a polo that have seen better days. There's a hairnet crumpled up on one side of the table, next to a glittery purple flashlight.]
Is there any way for me to contact my boss on this thing? You'd think a simple inter-realm transmission wouldn't be that hard considering how much other crazy stuff they have out here. [More to himself than to the netbook:] I really just want to tell her I won't be coming in. I'm supposed to be there for the breakfast crowd and she's gonna be up a creek without me. Probably can't get out of getting fired for not showing up... even if technically I was there. Early, even!
[He seems to remember himself, and addresses the camera once again.] Anyway, hi! I'm Mahdi. I'm new. They set me up with a place to stay, so I guess I'm gonna be a prisoner for awhile here, huh? [He doesn't exactly seem upset about it, though at least it's clear he's not enthusiastic.] I hope we can makes friends! That's what people do on the internet, right?

BUT IT'S RUDE TO ACCUSE PEOPLE OF LYING and this is obviously something he doesn't want to expand on, so... ]
Forgive me, I was mistaken. You seemed to speak with knowledge on the subject, is all.

I told you I'm not supposed to talk about my job. ♥ [Can you hear that? It's like there's a glittering little heart of happiness right next to his words.]
no subject
You did. [ Well, at least it's less patronizing this time, even if he lost a little of that warmth. ] Will you be doing any of the same work here?
no subject
I'm always doing whatever I can, however I can. I'm sure you're just the same, as a healer.

[ ...It's really hard to stay suspicious of a guy that sounds like that. ]
For your sake, I hope you find it possible to stay out of the Initiative's conflict.

Hey, do you like sweets?

I could really use a hug. Heh, I guess I'm being silly!
no subject
I... am sure you will be making friends in no time at all here. That doesn't seem so unlikely a wish.

My apologies— you haven't made me mad, I only think a hug would be difficult for a pair speaking over this network. Perhaps if we met face to face?
