[The camera picks up a deep red couch and stone for a moment. The couch is empty. For the moment. Someone walks in. Heavy footsteps. Sits down in front of the laptop. Dull eyed and empty. Wearing a priest's outfit. He peers into the laptop for a few moments. Not particularly long, but not a quick glance. He seems to be clicking something, or else checking it.

Ah. He's got it now. He shifts his gaze from the keyboard up to the red blinking camera light.]

I'll be right back.

[Voomp. The video closes. Not suspiciously quickly. Don't get any ideas. Just a hanging moment, as he finds the right key, and x's it out.

A few moments later, this text appears.]

Now then. What can you tell me?

(OOC: Two things!
1. if you haven't hit up Kirei's permission post, you might wanna do that!
2. This is a double intro! R's Gilgamesh (effulge) will be hopping around at will! You should fill out his permissions, too!)

I can tell you I think you seem somewhat familiar.

[He'd only seen the fifth Lancer's Master in quick flashes over the community, but there were a few parallels his sharp-eyed predecessor drew quickly. Similar clothes, the same blank and dull eyes...was it really possible?]

[Of course it was possible. Was it likely the person Lancer had been asked to kill would show himself in another fashion...from another time, possibly?]

[structuraldefect]

Do I?

[Odd. He's never been here before. That he's aware of.]

[yumadbro]

Welcome to the community, I guess.

It's a way for different worlds/universes/timelines to contact each other. People on it can travel between them, too.

[structuraldefect]

That must be difficult.

[No need to deny or believe just yet.]

[stillneedawish]

About the community, you mean?

[structuraldefect]

If you like.

[cravats]

A great many things. What would you like to know?

[A vague question deserves an equally vague answer.]

text

[structuraldefect]

Whatever you'd like.

[makewayforroze]

Has anyone explained the community to you, yet?

[structuraldefect]

You're welcome to chime in.

[chuanifrinn]

I was wondering when we'd be expecting to see that muted mug of yours...

...but you're not exactly you, are you...

[He'd know you anywhere.]

[structuraldefect]

[He'll have to be more careful about those videos. They seem so bothersome.]

It can't be helped, can it?

[anothersoul]

Different timelines, different universes... They seem to have been explained already. It's also possible, if I remember correctly, for certain people to be stuck at the same point in time indefinitely.

[structuraldefect]

Is that so?

[eternallybored]

say please.

[structuraldefect]

No, thank you.

[text]

[enshrined]

About what?

[text]

[structuraldefect]

At this point? Whatever you like.

[originaldragoon]

What is it that you want to know?

[structuraldefect]

It seems I've heard most of it by now.

[Video]

[material_guy]

I can tell you you should've stuck to video, it's quicker and easier.

[text]

[structuraldefect]

I'm not changing it back now.

[second_star]

Depends on the question, really. You're gonna have to be more specific, you know.

permatext

[structuraldefect]

A bit late for that.

[regalbearing]

[ oh. having read the other threads to check her suspicions, this could be problematic. ]

Kotomine Kirei, is it not?

[structuraldefect]

You're rather late, if you're attempting to warn me.

[shadow_spread]

[Well, that's a smarter first reaction than most people here have.]

I take it you've gotten the basics already?

[structuraldefect]

So far as I'm aware, yes.

[Orlando looks to be on a couch in a living room, but everything is a bit too flat, a bit too sharply defined, and lagging a bit too much to be reality.]

Polyps are cylindrical biological structures with an aboral end that attaches to things and an oral end with a mouth and tentacles around it.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

Or did you want to know about the community?

[structuraldefect]

Biology?
