[ The video begins with a man dressed in a fancy black and gold trimmed tunic, a mockingbird pin adorning his collar and a Narnia hunting pin in bird form adorning his sleeve. ]

Greetings to my fellow imPorts.

[ Petyr Baelish inclines his head in a completely formally informal greeting. It's strange to him, after all, to address people at large through something as tiny as this communicator. And he does seem a bit awkward using the device. ]

My name is Petyr Baelish -- once Lord now turned imPort. As you can probably tell, I am not from a world that is anything like the one we currently reside within. I have been here for approximately two months by your calendar, and have used that time to learn the land, its systems, the customs, the technology -- all the things that may have made for irritating or repetitive questions had I chosen to address the network immediately.

So given this passage of time, I feel I can come to you with better questions. Or rather, I am curious about your opinions on matters I do not see so often discussed. People often ask for the factual information, but rarely the opinions of others. So allow me this moment to pick your minds in what I hope will be a fine discussion. What are your thoughts on this war we have found ourselves in? Do you think it pointless? Do you wish it were over? How would you end it, if you could?

[ A beat. ]

I also find myself curious about how you perceive our ambassadors? This is the only position offered to imPorts currently that puts them in close contact with this country's government. Do you feel as though they are doing all they can to make a difference? What positive things can you attribute to them? And subsequently, are there things you believe they can improve? Perhaps most importantly of all, do you believe we have the right men for the task at hand?

I believe all of these topics are fair to discuss, given the nature of this world's democracy. We would not run the risk of any unwarranted beheadings for saying something someone dislikes. [ He flashes the briefest of smiles. He's joking. Totally. Such things are so archaic and can totally be laughed about, right? ] But I also believe discussion to be the key toward improvement, toward seeing change. Something as simple as one single thought or idea can be planted and grow exponentially. Like seed to a field of crops or perhaps ash to a wildfire.

Should there be any questions you wish to ask of me as well, please by all means, I am open to discussion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.

[ Sitting, answering Petyr's question with a practical, firm tone, is a cat. ]

It's bloody idiotic, is what it is. The war. It's not even about anything of any consequence. Just a bunch of prideful idiots proving they can be more prideful than all the other idiots. I'd like to bloody slap each and every one of them.

[ And the cat shakes her head. A really weirdly humanlike gesture. ]

I don't. No. Both sides are made up of people. And there are some who might not recognize our humanity, to be sure, but there's got to be others that do. Who see us as we really are.

[ Here's a rather funny-looking man with a faint pink scar bisecting his face. ]

... Ah, another Lord? May I ask what - or where - you were the Lord of, then?

Well, I don't feel like a superhero. Do you?

Take what the cat says with a grain of salt, by the way. She's simply a girl who stubbornly refuses to be a girl.

[ Hey bro. Dorian idly gives the camera a small, lazy wave. ] You know how I feel about one ambassador, shall I inform you about the others?

I'm surprised someone like you'd even know what democracy is, if what you're more used to is like, clubbing people t'death with sticks. [ That deadpan means he's joking, maybe? Maybe. ] Everyone's gotta come here and get all political, huh. What good do those questions do you, anyway? Gonna draft up a list of demands or something?
brushoff: (well yeah if you THINK that)

I think so. [ He's still not 100% sure what Kitty's current state IS, just that she got pretty defensive when he called her old and ugly that one time (despite the fact that she was, in fact, old and ugly). One thing he's certain of, she's still definitely human, no matter how much she tries to pretend otherwise. ]

So, who first? Hundred or Urquhart?

Well, skeptical don't mean stupid -- this just kinda sounds like one of those assessment exams where they ask you how they can make your experience better in the future, y'know?

Anyway, where I come from ain't too different than this, so don't go preachin' to me like you understand things any better. [ Like Reggie's really one to talk, but-- ] It don't really make a guy eager to help out with your questions.

People fight for many different reasons - nations fight for many different reasons too. I can't offer a way of ending it, but I don't think anyone actually wants to fight, they just think it's necessary for their reasons. [ pride may be one, Sasaki isn't going to discard that ] It's a bit arrogant of me to think their reasons are smaller than mine when I'm not even from this world, or forced to join the war. [ yet. ]

But the American side says it's exactly for democracy they are fighting, so we won't be beheaded when we give our opinion. Or brainwashed.

[ Francis has his eyebrows raised. ] Suggesting a critique of me, without a formal introduction? Is that how they do things where you come from?

Not to be a Debbie Downer*, but on our end of things, this is all pointless.

Hate to spoil the discovery, but when the Powers That Be decide it's time for you to go home? You won't remember a thing about your time here.
