[The video being transmitted is dark. The flare of a tiny fire followed by the somewhat steady glow of a lit cigarette are the only things that show there is something living on the other end of that screen.]

S'kinda difficult to see what you're doin' when it's dark as the belly of Verloren hisself.

[The steady thump, thump, thump of footsteps is heard before the view is set awash in moonlight. The light reveals a somewhat skewed video of a tall man dressed in a dark jacket with a shock of blond hair.]

There we go. [A smirk] Tha's what I'm talkin 'bout. [He drops something that looked to be vaguely like a small animal to the ground with a lifeless thud and wiped the corner of his mouth.]

[He looks around.] This place looks like crap. Gone from one hell to another huh? [A grin slowly pulls around the cigarette butt in his mouth.] Bring it on.

As with any other place of residence, it is what one makes of it.

[First person he talks to in this place is a pretty woman? Maybe this place wasn't so bad after all.]
Truer words were never spoken. My name's Frau. What's yours?

You are being very direct, aren't you?

Direct is what I am. It gets things done. Do I get the pleasure of learning your name?

And as such... I'm Mireille Duroc, Monsieur Frau.
From: [identity profile] verlorenscasket.livejournal.com
Pretty name for a pretty lady. It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Mireille Duroc. Would a fine woman such as yourself do me the honor of telling me where I am?

It is known as Adstringéndum. Upon my own arrival, I was informed that it is a city which summons people from other worlds.

[He lets out a low whistle.] That is definitely new. Do you know if anyone knows how that happens? How it all works?

Although I have had a few of the mechanics explained, it makes little sense and doesn't change how the push and pull of individuals appear altogether random to me.
From: [identity profile] verlorenscasket.livejournal.com
So basically we all gotta hold our breath and hope for the best? Well isn't this all kinds of exciting. Do you know how many people are here on any given day? Or anything about the terrain? If I'm askin too many questions just tell me to shut up.

To my knowledge, the inhabited parts of the city are divided into four. In the middle, one finds the city centre and on the outskirts, the wastelands; both of which are inadvisable to venture into.

Any particular reason why one shouldn't venture out into these areas?

The inner city...

[She hesitates. When it comes to the Animus, she is still uncertain what exactly to believe herself.]

Whereas the inner city is said to be guarded by ill-meaning spirits, the wastelands are home to many dangerous creatures. Different evils, but neither very welcoming.

[Frau takes a moment to think, rubbing his face with his hand. This place sounded like a death trap waiting to happen. He was sure the creatures in the Wastelands could wait until later, but these Animus...]

I've heard that name dropped a lot. The Animus one. Do you know what those things are? What they want from us?

[video] couldn't agree more

I haven't had direct, personal contact with the Animus, but the people here believe them to have powers akin to any given, imaginable deity.

I get the feeling direct contact with those things isn't something many people would want to do. [He sighs and rubs the back of his head. Just what he needed. More godly like figures. He would just keep his mouth shut on that one.] Awfully sadistic for deities. [Not that deities couldn't be sadistic. As a matter of fact, he could think of one off the top of his head.]

They cannot be blamed for the questionable actions we choose for ourselves, of course, but they are all too talented at calling forth the worst aspects of human nature. If nothing else.

To err is to be human. Or however it goes. I'll definitely keep that in mind about these Animus things. I don't trust anything I can't or haven't seen. And from what I've experienced so far, these things have a taste of mayhem. You stay safe alright? And if you need anything, let me know. [And honestly, that wasn't him hitting on her. It was genuine concern.]
