[lasersounds]

[There's a pause, the video starts up with an almost disturbing close up of an eye before it's pulled back. It's a face some of you might call familiar, currently twisted in confusion.] Is this thing even on? [He pokes the camera, frowning now, before he shrugs.] Just one way to be sure...

Hello~! [Note the use of the “finger guns”, ladies and gentlemen.He shifts so the camera focuses on a very much mechanical, blue lion behind him.] This is Blue, she’s here with me. Not sure if any of you know about Voltron here but...yeah, I’m one of the Paladins. Not sure how that’s going to work without the rest of us...Or with Blue being that small...[He shrugs.]

Anything I should know? People...places...things to avoid? I mean I got the basics...But I think I'll trust the opinion of locals more than the "government" that dragged me here in the first place.

The government didn't drag you here. [ it's written on the pamphlet. He knows the government wrote it, but it's true nonetheless. ]

And it's hard to say which places should be avoided, it really depends on your personal taste, in the end. There are no places that should be avoided at all costs.

[ THE BIGGEST GRIN and probably grease on his face but HI BUDDY HELLO FRIEND! ]

Lance! You're back!

Video; 2/2

[hunksmash]

... Where'd you go?

Not, like, the whole thing with getting 'ported back out. I'm talking, y'know... Now. Where are you now? Because you're not here, right? I think I would've heard you come in. Or at least heard Archie hearing you come in. That dude's loud.

[lasersounds]

But they wrote the pamphlet, right? So how do we know that's true?

Seems kind of funny that there's nowhere to really avoid. Most cities I know have bad parts of town.

[lasersounds]

Hunk! Buddy!

Man, it's good to see a friendly face I actually know. Anyone else make it here?

[2/2]

[lasersounds]

Uh...dude? Never been here before in my life.

For what it's worth though...I'm over in this place called De Chima. 001, I guess? Not a bad place. Where the heck are you?

[hunksmash]

Heropa. Also #001, which is... I guess it's a story. Pretty info dump-y.

Anyway, it's also in Florida, by the beach, so it's probably better than Virginia.

[Voice]

[tacticianing]

[There's a voice that's deceptively deep for the small person behind it; he might sound a lot older than he actually is.]

Don't trust what they've told you. Not much of that is true.

[Hi, welcome to hell. America. He means America.]

[ghoulking]

imPorts have been showing up in this world for a while now, and we do like to investigate since a lot of us don't trust the government. [ they have investigated this, too.

But Kaneki will send a handy FAQ that explains it all much better than he could. ]

You have a robot lion with you. I don't think you need to avoid anyone.

VIDEO.

[mantlepieces]

What?

[ As in "what is any of that nonsense supposed to mean?", of course, but when Reggie says it he also manages to somehow sound more like what he really means is, "what, you idiot?"

A rude tone, in other words. ]

Anything you should know? Yeah, like I dunno-- everything, apparently? How's anyone supposed to actually answer that kind of question?

[lastnerv]

[There's a teenage boy leaning into the camera.]

Well, as someone who has at this point lived in all three imPort cities, you're better off not going to Maurtia Falls if you don't need t-

[And he stops, leaning in closer.]

Is that...is that a robot lion?

( video )

[thirdprogenitor]

What exactly do you do with that?

[ Clearly referring to the mechanical lion. ]

[lasersounds]

I guess I can rest a little easier knowing there're outside investigations...But just a little. [Seriously, being pulled into space by a magical space lion was one thing, being ported back to Earth? His life is a little on the weird side right now. He's suspicious of everything.]

...Oh, Blue? Yeah...I mean I have her to watch my back. Still--better to avoid trouble when you're one of the new guys in town.

[lasersounds]

Wait. Wait. You're in Florida?! How in the world did you luck out with that? Because you're right, that is better than Virginia.

Dude, I am so jealous...And I am so visiting so I can get this info dump in person.

[lasersounds]

[Woooah. Okay, doubts of the Government has gone into full blown like...conspiracy territory.]

Way to be ominous, dude.

[lasersounds]

What, what?

[Was he not perfectly clear? Because, dude. Dude, he could so break it down for you if you need to.]

Never been part of a welcoming party have you? It's more a call for friendly advice--tips you know? From the locals...or well imPorts like me really, I guess.

[lasersounds]

...Maurtia Falls. Gotcha. Why am I better off not going?

[Oh. Right. Lion. That earns a grin.]

Oh this? Yeah, her name's Blue. Pretty sweet huh? To be honest, she's a lot smaller than usual. Normally I can hop in the cockpit, but at this point...the best we'll be able to do is have her carry me on her back I guess.

[lasersounds]

Do with what? Blue?

[He pats said lion affectionately. He's very fond of him mechanical friend.]

Normally she's like a battle-class fighter. Full cockpit, weapons arsenal. Pretty sweet actually. [Impressed yet? His grin should tell you that you should be impressed.]

She's a lot smaller now, so I guess we'll be working side by side rather than having me as her pilot. At least for now.

[mantlepieces]

What the hell is a Paladin? Is that some kind of D&D thing?

[ Why anyone would ever announce that in public like this, though... Reggie raises his eyebrow slightly, but then shrugs one shoulder. ]

Yeah, but what kind of tips are you looking for? We don't all avoid the same places. Or people.

[ For instance, there are some who might offer the advice that Reggie should be avoided, whereas he would never even think to suggest such a horrible thing. ]

( video )

[thirdprogenitor]

[ She's a difficult one to impress, so she's just going to keep staring at the mechanical lion despite her having never seen one before. ]

Did you create her?

[lasersounds]

D&D? No, dude. It's like...a knight? It's a title--I was kind of given it.

[The face he pulls speaks volumes though--he was probably so one of those closet nerds. At least enough of one, anyway.]

Okay, okay. I get what you're saying. I don't exactly want to get mixed up in a bad crowd for one. Wouldn't look too good, and it's not my scene anyway. Are there like...groups or specific people I should be aware of?

[Video]

[lasersounds]

Create--[He breaks into a laugh, almost doubling over.]

Quiznak, no. This beauty was made by a race of scientifically advanced aliens. Like...waaaaay above my paygrade, skill level, whatever.

[Video]

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Well. That was. A thing... ]

...you know, finger guns went out twenty-something years ago.

[ Because that is clearly the most important thing to comment on here. ]

[mantlepieces]

Given it... on the internet?

[ Oh. My. God. Reggie's whole face just lights up at that for a moment, but then he decides, okay, he'll stay on topic this time. Ish. Or he'll at least resist the urge to call Lance a nerd, anyway. Maybe later, but...

It's really, really hard to resist, though.

Okay, no, he can't. But let it be known that he tried. ]

You know, I bet there is a nice church group somewhere that would love to have you. How do you feel about bingo?

( video )

[thirdprogenitor]

[ She doesn't know what a quiznak is and isn't going to ask. ]

So it's not made by humans then?

[ Isn't that interesting. ]
