video; un: reiner

[ The video opens on a young man in his late teens. Tall, blond hair, gold eyes, solid build—good looking, carrying himself with an air of confidence. ]

Wow, this technology is something else. Weird to think that I don't have to write a bunch of letters.

[ He smiles, easy and genuine, matching his voice. ]

I'm Reiner Braun. I'm looking for a few friends of mine, and it seems like this is the easiest way to get the word out.

One of them is a tall guy—taller than me—with dark hair and green eyes. He probably looks nervous, like he wants to be anywhere but here. The other is a shorter girl, blond hair and blue eyes, who looks like she could kick your ass. She can, too, so maybe don't test her patience.

[ He pauses for a second. ]

I guess I'm also looking for anyone else who recognizes me. Better to get any reunions out of the way now, right?

Anyway, if you see anyone matching those descriptions, I'd appreciate it if you let me know. Or if you just wanna chat. I'm pretty new here, and it'd be nice to meet some friendly faces.

Hello Mr. Braun! I haven't been here too long myself, but welcome.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone that fits your description yet, though there are a lot of people I haven't run into either, but if you are looking for a friendly word, I'm definitely here.

I'm still learning the technology, but I can try and help.

[ It takes Reiner entirely too long to type a response. (Texting is weird!) He'll get the hang of it eventually. And besides, the only way to improve is through practice. ]

Hey, friendly words are always welcome. As is the welcome itself. Have you been here long, [ a pause to stare at the username, then: ] is it Flynnscifo?

[bravestknight]

Oh. You must mean my username, I think?

That's my name, I haven't figured out what to change it to. You can just call me Flynn.

I've been here for a couple weeks now.

[Texting is so weird, but Flynn is getting better at it too.]

[hometown]

Flynn, right. Nice to meet you.

[ So much easier to type than flynnscifo! He approves. ]

A little longer than me, then. What do you think of it so far?

[bravestknight]

I don't know if we can trust the reasons we were brought here, but I think it's good to cooperate until we are given a reason to stop.

[He is on the fence with how he feels about this place.]

[hometown]

Really? What makes you doubt their reasons?

[bravestknight]

I can't explain it. It's just a feeling I have I guess.

[hometown]

I see. Sometimes you have to trust your gut.

[bravestknight]

Yeah, I'm sure it's not as bad as I am probably feeling it is anyway. I just want to be careful since this situation is not normal.

[hometown]

Yeah, tell me about it. Getting transported to a different world was definitely not something I expected. Not to mention all the rest of it.

[bravestknight]

Right? Anyway if I hear anything I'll update you.

[hometown]

Thanks, I appreciate it.
