[The device flicks on. Static.

And off. Three seconds, then on again.]

What-

[Then off.

Then to video- there's a shot of someone's elbow, and it's off again.

On. Rap rap rap. Someone's knocking it against a table to see if it can be broken open.]

-most troublesome.

How very, very unusual. What can you do?

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Pray to go home.

[He laughs.]

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is it that bad here?

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Not really. There's a few people to avoid, of course, and the monsters aren't nice- but there's good people here.

It's just overwhelming.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not a nice spot for a vacation, then.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

If you're the right type of person for it, I think.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And what type of person is that?

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

The type that enjoys the thrill of the unexpected.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

A fool, then, you mean.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Some people really seem to enjoy themselves.

I just try to stay out of their way.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Well, you were the first to greet me, so I suppose I owe you my thanks.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

It's alright. Everyone needs a bit of an explanation when they first arrive, or else it's hardly fair to them.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

'Fair?' You make it sound like we're in some sort of competition.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Do I? I'm sorry- I just meant that if people start off with a disadvantage, they'll probably wind up dying.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Not that it matters. Much.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

It's still a rather traumatic event.

[Not really.]

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Ah, I hadn't thought of that.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Yes, well- luckily, it doesn't happen too often around here, anyway.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

What does happen, then?

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

The Animus wreak their havoc. People socialize and, of course, develop feelings for one another- be it romantic or murderous. It's either a very interesting place, or a very uninteresting place, depending on the time and who you ask.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I suppose most places are. I might follow your example, and try to stay out of the thick of things.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Considering the circumstances, I think that decision is very wise. At least until you get a better grasp of the true magnitude of the other's abilities here.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'd hate to be dragged here and not get to see magnitude, at the very least.

[Video]

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

[A charming smile.]

Then I certainly hope you do, mister Break.

[Video]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'll let you go. There's a great deal to explore, after all.
