{Video} ❇I

[Well this is... unusual. Using the camera's function, Lamont bows his head just slightly in greeting... though he cannot be positive who it is he is greeting.]

Hello. My name is Lamont Alexander, lately of Oxfordshire.

I... cannot say I know whom it is that I address, and as such, I apologize if I in any way if I overstep my bounds by posting here. I don't wish to break some rule by it, only perhaps find some answers.

I am wondering what this form of communication might be? And who might use it? I hope that, should anyone be able to receive this transmission, we can speak as friends, and reduce the strangeness of all this.

[Wisdom might come with time... better to know the people one was in a situation with than what the situation was, really.]

Odd as sending a message to no particular recipient may seem, I do look forward to making your acquaintance- whomever may reply. Thank you.

Hey, you don't need to speak so formally like that! We're just just regular people here who managed to get caught up in all of this! So you can just speak casually to us!

But anyway, it's nice to meet you! The name is Abby!

Oh-? Er-- I'm definitely just a regular person too, this is just how I talk. Sometimes, anyway. Well, when making introductions.

[The sort of introduction that was over the top seemed more polite than the one that was underwhelming.

Still, he's giving a little laugh at that, and nodding.]

Abby. That's a lovely-- a nice?-- name. Good to meet you, disembodied voice and all.

Really? That's your normal way of talking? Wow, I never heard of anyone using formal language as casual language before introductions or not! We definitely all are friends here so you don't need to worry about making a good first impression!

[WELL THEN!]

Really? Disembodied? I'll just have to fix that!

[And after messing around a bit, behold! Have a girl with strawberry blond hair coming through!] And there! Not so scary now huh?

Somewhat normal, yes. I admit, I did want to make that good impression you were talking about.

[And where he's from, anything less would look unpolished.

Still, this is just as comfortable, if not moreso.

When the screen does flick on, he gives a cheerful grin and a nod.]

Not so scary at all, I'd say.

And you did! So now you can just take a giant breather and relax! What's the worst that could happen if you didn't make a good impression anyway? There's worser things that could happen couldn't it?

[Meanwhile, Abby isn't quite use to this whole polished feel.

In fact, it makes her feel a bit awkward and that's saying something coming from her!]

Good! But anyway, now that we're finally getting to know one another, I can officially welcome you to the network! If you need links to the FAQ, any questions involved, I'll do my best to help you out!

[Willing to play along- because she seemed rather nervous enough for both of them, if terribly sweet!- he did take a deep breath, as suggested. Exaggerated, and even held it for a moment before releasing.]

You're right; I feel much better now. Thank you.

I can think of a few things worse than a bad first impression, yes. A bad last impression, a bad temper, and bad breath are probably all qualify.

Thank you for your official welcome. While your offer has been the kindest so far, I've had the FAQ presented to me, and it was of great help. Still in the process of trying to digest it all, I think.

[Hey, as long as he's trying to relax, that's more than enough for her! Although, she did giggle from the fact that he did what she told him to do!]

Good! I was worried that it wouldn't have worked! If if didn't, I wouldn't know what I would do!

I think a bad breath would be the worst out of all of them! It would feel really weird to just talk to someone like that! And you just don't want to be rude about it too.

[Pause]

I don't blame you. It's just...the idea that you lived a past life and aliens? It's really a lot to take in.

Keep Calm and... Panic?

[Suggested, with a cheekier smile.]

If deep breathing fail, you may as well get on with the freak-out. Lucky for us both, I'm British; we're infallible and unruffled.

Bad breath is unfortunate. Sympathy gum is always a useful solution?

[Kidded, before sobering up lightly with the topic.]

It seems like a fiction at first, truly. But I suppose you can't ignore the feelings it brings on.

Did you also experience something like that?

Oh c'mon! How would that even work if you're calm and then you're panicking? And besides, if you're panicking, then chances are? I'll panic right with you!

[And she's not lying about that!]

So you're saying if all else fails, we can depend on your British...ness? Unlucky for you, I'm American so I have no idea what that says about how you'll be able handle that freak-out!

Or an orbit gum. That always helps. It's a good way to get rid of that dirty mouth!

[But anyway! He gets a sad smile out of her.]

Sort of? I mean, there's still a lot of things I don't know about my other life but I know there's ice magic involved.

Beneath the surface panic. Or maybe that's simply called adrenaline? I'm not sure. Maybe in the same way that surgeons or fire fighters keep calm in situations that would alarm anybody.

But! If it will spare you panic, then I will remain very serene. You have my promise.

[A smile, and then an outright laugh at her retort.]

I could tell by the accent! My cousin is practically American he's been here so long now. I'll have to practice my Dealing-With-American skills on him. Bare with me please, in the meantime! Especially since I don't believe I've ever tried Orbit gum.

[A curious raise of brows.]

Ice magic? Well that's something very neat to recall.

Hm...I would say it's both that and training? Those people would need to get a lot of training to make sure that they don't panic or else!

Then I'll be sure that you keep your promise! I'm keeping my eye out on that!

[She couldn't help but give a smile back at him]

Oh, I wouldn't worry! It's actually very easy to deal with all of us and especially us Locke City folks! I don't know how long you've been here in this city but we're a friendly bunch! ...Giant snake monsters withstanding and all.

Yeah, I think so too! But that's really all I know about whatever my past life did. [There was a lot more to it than that but!]

What about you? What you remember from your other life so far?

I suppose that's true. Maybe we ought to have a training montage at some point? I'll bring the eights rock music, you find the stairs for us to climb.

I'll pinky swear if I have to; that's powerful stuff.

[Laughing a little. Well this was definitely his most cheerful reception so far!]

Everyone seems nice enough so far. I won't press my luck by testing the theory on snakes, giant or not.

I'm afraid I know even less than you do. All I'm aware of is that there was... possibly a fire? I'm not sure. It was a sad sort of feeling... though I can't imagine a fire ever being cause for celebration.

If we do that, we better find out a way on how to train as epically as they do! That's always the first rule of a training montage, we need to do it as cooly as possible!

The pinky promise? Are you sure you're up for it? That is some heavy duty stuff there!

[Okay, now she has to giggle too!]

That's good! The last thing we would want is to scare anyone off from the network! Glad to see that the snakes didn't stop you from trying this out.

Fire huh? Well, if there's a sad feeling with it then I'm sorry about that. I doubt it's something to be happy about but I hope that there will be some more happier echoes later on.

We can wear sweat bands, climb stairs, and look serious but still very likable? Is that how we look cool? Or do we need to wear skinny trousers and look bored? I'm never exactly sure if that's 'cool' or 'hipster'...

[Important Distinctions.]

If I must, then I will. It's no less than any real man would do.

And no, still here, snakes and all. But so are you, and everyone else. We must be a brave lot. --Which is how I know that regardless if the fire I remembered was sad, or what sort of ice powers you may have had-- it's all going to be all right.

It can be both! We can try all of the above and see how it works out! What's the worst that could happen? Get caught by the fashion police?

[Then she raised an eyebrow. Huh, she wasn't expecting an answer like that. Did he realize that she was joking around?]

What? Hey, I didn't say that you have to! I don't want to feel like I'm forcing you to do anything!

...Yeah, I really hope so. I heard there were a lot people who were killed and I do wonder if we are going to get through this. [Then there was a chuckle] But you are quite optimistic about this aren't you?

...Wait, are the fashion police a real thing in America?

[Blinking a bit, before smiling again at her reply-]

Sorry! British humor. Did I seem too serious? Bullocks, I'll get the hang of this yet...

People die every day. It's terrible, and heartbreaking, but... we can't use that as an excuse to give up, can we? Especially not on ourselves. There's no reason to be pessimistic- I feel like that's the quickest way to making the worst outcome a reality.

Yup but they're just not around the streets! More that they're usually on television and making comments about what you're wearing. Then again, I think that's more of a universal thing.

[Here's Abby. Here's Abby just blinking right back at him.]

What? You could have warned me that you were just kidding! Now I'm starting to wonder how much you said is for humor!

[The quickest way to make the worst outcome possible huh?] Yeah, you're right. We should keep on holding on! There really is no reason to think like that! If we keep thinking positively, I'm sure everything will be okay!

I definitely know that!

Ahh, the tabloids. Truly a universal plague, yes- or... er. I mean. 'Yup.'

[Another small laugh though, and he held up his hands in surrender.]

I promise, I'm not much of a liar! But maybe our sense of humor sounds too serious sometimes. I'll work on it.

I think positivity is a great route! We'll both have to keep our chins up, won't we?

Oh c'mon, there's nothing to be nervous about that! It's all the same thing so there's no need to change it, Lamont! Yes siree!

[Yup, she's giggling right back!]

Either way, just warn me next time! Or else I will have to take everything you say with a serious manner! I'll have to be serious about being seriously serious! Seriously.

...Y-Yea, I guess so! [That and she doesn't really think she has much of a choice but...there was hint of a pause before she said that.]

'Yes siree.'

[Repeated, trying to keep his smile at bay, and covering it up by coughing into his hand.]

So I have to say 'this is a joke' before every joke I make? Are you- ...seriously serious about that?

[And though they were joking now, he still paused as tit-for-tat at her hesitation.]

Abby...? Is everything all right?

See? Was that so hard? Just keep saying yes yes yes and you'll be good!

[With that, she gave a nod!]

Of course, I'm serious! I'm totally serious about being serious! When am I ever not serious?

[Like now? Either way, she gave a small pause. It looked like she wanted to say something but she opted on giving him a small smile]

Yea, everything's okay!

Haha... that's fair advice on women, I think.

[He chuckled softly, looking down.]

Always very serious. 'Yes.' [Was her advice working?

But, more actually seriously...]

Are you certain?

Well, if there's anything that a girl would like though? My advice to you? I think you'll have no problem with any woman in the future!

I can tell you that much.

[She gave another giggle.]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm really serious about that. Or at least just serious enough where I'm just wondering about Locke City right now.

Well, thank you, that's very kind. I've never had a girlfriend, but- something to look forward to not messing up in the future?

[With an embarrassed smile.]

But of course. I'd forgotten. You're always serious.

Oh trust me, I think you'll have no problem with that! You're a gentlemen right? So girls will definitely come to you with no trouble at all!

[Then there was another nervous chuckle]

Do you judge about how serious I can be? There's a lot to me than just that you know!
