[Video...on purpose this time]

[chuanifrinn]

Unlike last time, this time I have control over this thing. Wild, isn't it?

So you get a video on purpose...isn't that the most fortuitous thing?

Actually I'm a little reluctant to show you this because it's embarrassing and I don't embarrass easy...but it's also been a long time since I've laughed so hard. Being able to laugh is important, I think it outweighs embarrassment so I'll go ahead and show you...

...Just remember I'm much better looking than the kid in this video. Don't forget that. It's very, very important that you remember that. I was so damn good looking in my day they wanted me to get married out of fear for their own wives and daughters. So devastatingly handsome...

If we understand that then here:

Wow. The animation from hundreds of years ago really wasn't all its cracked up to be. [ Disney aside. even in the 2300s they still love Disney. ]

... so, uh... you're Cu Chulainn, huh?

[ one thing to be told the Hound of Ulster is hanging out on the community, quite another to finally start a conversation with him. over a pretty ridiculous video. what do. ]

[chuanifrinn]

It's actually pretty novel to me, ironic huh? I'm still way behind the times...but I agree, they could have done a better job on me at least. [He's a hero, he deserves their best efforts, but a laugh is still a laugh.]

Oh? You've heard of me...well outside of this video I'm going to assume? I don't know if I should be surprised...I think I am just a little. [It's normal for a hero to be known in their own world, but on the community it's still a shock sometimes.] D'ya have a name?

[not_that_lockon]

If it's any consolation, most people here are behind the times from my point of view. But yeah, that animation job they did on you was... well, it was something.

Lyle Dylandy. I'm from Belfast, so uh... that might explain how I've heard of you.

[chuanifrinn]

Give me a couple thousand years and I'm sure I'll be all caught up.

Lyle Dylandy...an unusual name...[for an Irishman, though Lyall and Lyell are Scottish surnames...so maybe there's a connection. He's pretty used to the old Celtic names that don't look a thing like they're pronounced.]...but Belfast is in the Ulster region, so you come from my neck of the woods, brother.

[not_that_lockon]

Well, you'd better hurry it up, the future's waiting and it has giant robots.

Yeah, I guess I do. Huh. Gotta say, I never would have thought even in my wildest dreams that I'd get to talk to you. [ beat. ] Is my name really that unusual?

[regalbearing]

... I suddenly find myself fearing what may have been done with my own legend.

[chuanifrinn]

I think it gets the message across, but they leave out the good stuff.

You should check and see, it's kind of funny if you can get past how horrible they make you look.

[regalbearing]

I suppose conveying the message is the important part... what in your opinion is the "good stuff"?

It is not just myself I am worried about, in all honesty.

[chuanifrinn]

Well, you know, when they showed my death in one of the videos it was totally anticlimactic! I had an amazing death! It was so brilliant that I was still kicking ass after death.

[regalbearing]

Is that so? That would be rather worthy of note, I would have thought. But I suppose the videos themselves do seem to have been aimed at children.

[croibhristeoir]

What did I just watch.

[chuanifrinn]

Just tell me you chuckled a little.

[croibhristeoir]

Only due to being at a complete loss for what else to do.

Please tell me no one's done this for me.

[chuanifrinn]

Oh...the grandpa man did say your name...I have a mini series of five videos and you get an honorable mention after my dramatic death scene...

...I'm gonna go look. Right. Now!

[croibhristeoir]

Nowaitdon't--

[selfished]

Man, that kid isn't just bad looking, he's sorta fat too! [ YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT THAT, KYOUKO..

But she's amused either way. In fact, she's laughing her ass off at the video. ]

[chuanifrinn]

Just keep in mind how good looking I really am and it's actually very funny. [He can laugh at himself, seriously.]

[selfished]

.. Nah, I guess you're just okay. But I'll give ya that compared to that kid, you seem a lot better.

[chuanifrinn]

Hey, hey, hey! I'm 1001% better.

[selfished]

That much? Man, I dunno if I'm ready to say that, that means you'd have to be an actually cool guy, y'know?

[tunics]

....You must be pretty popular to get that made after you.

[chuanifrinn]

I guess so...it's a little campy, but if you're telling my story to kids I guess the best thing to do is water it down.

[tunics]

There's more to your story?

video;

[chuanifrinn]

Tons more. That was just the sugar coated tip of the iceberg, but it gives the general idea.

[tunics]

But this means you're really popular if you have this dedicated to you!
