[There's two voices already arguing as they turn on the transmitter, although their voices are quieter.]

South, I don't know if immediately broadcasting our location is the best ide-

We can either try it, North, or sit here with our thumbs up our asses until someone-

I'm just saying, we don't have to go around telling everybody where we are or even who we are. Our priority needs to be establishing contact with familiar faces and-

...It's on, isn't it.

...Smooth, North. HEY! This is Agents North and South Dak-fuck!

[The microphone sounds like it's being slapped around in the struggle between the two agents, coupled with the CLACK of armor.]

--OW! Don't bite, what is wrong with you!

You started it! Get off me-!

Stop acting like a child and GIVE ME THE-

FUCK YOU- OW!

Hah! [There's a final rustle of the microphone.] Hello, this is Agents North and South Dakota. We would appreciate the help of anyone who has information on other Imports with an Agent-plus-State Name designation.

[Muffled in the background.] I’m going to punch you in the ass!

You can try, kiddo. [Back toward the microphone:] We're grateful for any information you may have. North, over and out.

[OOC: If you want just one or the other of the twins, specify in your comment header which one you want. otherwise we'll either set up an order or both North (here) and South (missinferiority) will tag separately.]

Are you guys also space marines in super cool armor?

[misterintegrity]

[...well for a child it's a completely different story, North turns the video feed on, which shows...

him sitting on his sister, who's lying facedown on the ground.]

Like this super cool armor?

[glitterateur]

[This feels so familiar. Like she's watching one of her arguments with Dipper from the outside.]

Did you guys need any help?

[TINY CHILDREN EVERYWHERE North feels a buzz of excitement in the back of his mind.
Just a minute, Theta.]

I think we're doing alright. What's your name?

[bestsword]

Agen--

Oh fuck no, not more of you! How many of you dicks are there?!

perma audio

[misterintegrity]

[u ok]

Well, there was about 50 at one point.

[Apparently we're going to be snarky alright then]

[missinferiority]

For fuck's sake- hey! What's your name?

[okay Miss Sulking Loser is done with her sulking now, this should go swimmingly]

[bestever]

Oh, fucking-- Great! Fantastic. Just what I needed. The ridiculous rave twins and their drama thrown into the mix. Sure, why not! Sit down, make yourselves comfortable! Are there any other ways you'd like to ruin my life this week? [yeah okay church let's be as DRAMATIC AS POSSIBLE instead of trying to make the introduction smooth.]

[bestsword]

Shit, you know them?

What even happened after you got transferred?

[Guess who still doesn't know about multiple Churches.]

[misterintegrity]

[Ridiculous rave twi-]

Do I know you?

[worstever]

You've got to be joking me.

[He wants to feel good about seeing them again, but after how they ended -- how Wash ended South, more notably -- it's hard to feel anything but a queasy guilt in the pit of his stomach. Hell, with the way the Porter works, this could be South from the moment he shoots her (and it's the first thing he thought of, seeing this), although as unsurprised as she seems by her brother there, he's not banking on it.

Still. He doesn't want to assume. That's bitten him in the ass enough already. No room for stupid mistakes here -- too many extenuating circumstances.

He settles for a fairly neutral greeting.]

I can think of one.

[misterintegrity]

[Despite the lack of a face and the fact that it sounds...older. More tired, somehow, North immediately knows who's speaking.

And Wash can probably hear the grin in his voice when he replies.]

If it isn't a sound for sore ears.

How are you feeling, Wash?

[Because last he saw you you were...in the infirmary... u ok buddy?]

[purepazaak]

What just happened here?

[misterintegrity]

[A deep chuckle.]

I take it you don't have siblings.

permatext; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[tadeadshi]

Wow. First time I've seen the porter bring in siblings together like this.

[He knows a brother and sister when he hears it.]

[misterintegrity]

Twins. Can't live with them, can't live without them.

And you are?

permavoice;

[fuckai]

Oh fuck this. [Hi, welcome, good to see you] What's with all the goddamn Freelancers?!

[Not to mention, he knows one of these Freelancers. Kind of.

...Does it still count if they only knew each other while South was dying?]

permavoice;

[misterintegrity]

[...Okay wait.

Wasn't he just talking to you-

North sucks in a quiet breath. He's not stupid. Somebody's fibbing here. Or they're both AIs, but no two of the fragments he's seen have the same voice.]

Excuse me?

Audio

[megabytes]

[...well then. He feels like he just got a slightly genderbent look into his future, here.]

I'm afraid I don't know anyone with an alias like that, but if I meet one, I'll let you know.

...siblings, right?

[misterintegrity]

[Alright, why are there so many children being Imported.]

Twins, actually.

[The smile is obvious in his tone.]

Are we that obvious?

[logicunlocked]

Mm...I might know of somebody.

[ Yes, that's a massive smirk you hear in his tone. ]

[misterintegrity]

[York you beautiful disaster he could kiss you right now.]

Well well well, look what the cat dragged in.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Are you space man twins?

video

[misterintegrity]

Well, we're twins, but we're still technically from Earth.

Do you have any brothers or sisters?

[where are all these children coming from where are your parents]

[moneylogues]

[Oh, look. More Freelancers.

He'd be more excited, but Locus is the one with the Freelancer boner, not him. All he knows is that most of them are supposed to be dead now and he's pretty sure these two are on that list, but there's a lot of weird shit going on.]

Well. That's one way to make an introduction. It's definitely memorable, I'll give you two that.

[misterintegrity]

[That's some fancy armor you've got there, Mr. Nipple Flashlights.]

Yeah, well, it's all about the first impressions.

And you are?
