Hello, Trench! Boy, that's a fun name for a city, isn't it? Trrrrrrench. Sounds...about like what it is, I guess.

So! [He claps his hands together.] Who's here from Deerington? Man, it must've been at least a century since I saw you guys! How's it been? Oh - oh, and look! Eleanor made it too!

[He reaches off-screen to fling his arm around the neck of what, when he pulls it over in front of the camera, proves to be an enormous dappled grey Warg. Her teeth are huge. She's still wearing her enchanted leather war-armor, which really just makes the optics here worse.]

This is my dog, Eleanor! Also, I'm Michael, for all the new folks. I was in the nightmare city before this one, and then I went home for a little bit.

So - what's everyone up to? And what's with the new phones? Are we all using weird, smoky first-generation birds as phones now?

You're mad peppy, bro. Something got you in a good mood or are you always all sunshine.

Does Eleanor bite?

( He realizes after he hits send that he's coming off a lot meaner than he intends. )

[eudaimonikos]

Might as well start off on a high note! I'm sure we'll have plenty of time for horror later on.

[Like, just judging by how Deerington was...]

Not if you don't mess with her!

dog what the heck's a first-generation bird?
mine's a bug
a pink one
she looks like a flower, i guess? she says she's a mantis but i'm pretty sure those things are green

[eudaimonikos]

You know, the early ones. Can you...can you take a video of yourself, or...?

[This is probably directed at the Omen, though given how this works he is still just talking directly to the "camera".]

Oh, well...here. [Snap! He's looking right at it, so he ought to be able to make a picture of it, right...? He shows it to Fern - it's literally just a small feathered dinosaur.] They just don't make birds like that these days...

[prescind]

I remember you. You made it, huh?

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah! Just had a quick stop home - but this place was leaking into my afterlife there, and I really couldn't have that.

Voice; un: ...

[opress]

I remember you. You're terrible at hide and seek. [Says the alien who happened to be a six-year-old at the time. Never mind that.]

I like your dog. She looks vicious.

[eudaimonikos]

Hide and seek? [Just give him a second...] Oh! That! I was cheating, I didn't want you to not find me and just leave me there!

[is this seriously an argument he's gonna have]

Thanks! I guess she's technically some kind of direwolf thing. Pretty much a dog, though, right?

[ .. by god, if this isn't ever a Michael video. It's the most Michael-y video ever. ]

It's not really been a century for all of us.

[ She says it pretty easy, in her usual deadpan tone, but then suddenly seems to look a bit more thoughtful as she adds: ]

.. I think. [ Gosh, she actually doesn't have a clue how long they were in a kind of haze before ending up here, huh. ]

[eudaimonikos]

I figured! You'd all be dead!

[That comes out inappropriately cheery, but he's just happy to see Ange again!]

'Course, there could be some weird timeline stuff. There usually is, traveling between them is weird. [He ponders that for a second before dismissing it.] It's good to see you again, Ange.

[demonicbeauty]

[Have your favorite confused demon friend, Michael. She ripples her fingers in a small wave.]

It's nice to see you again, Michael.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, hey, you too! How's it been?

[It probably hasn't been all that long, but Michael really has no idea how much time might've passed, beyond "not all THAT much".]

[delilahs_death]

Ah, you've joined us on the other side. Hello, Michael.

What a lovely dog you have!

[eudaimonikos]

Hi! She is, isn't she? I had no idea if she'd still be around when I got back! [sigh] I would've taken her with me, but you know. The afterlife.

[He isn't even sure how or if that would work?]

They're taking a little bit of getting used to, but the phones aren't too terribly bad. It's a bit more like a scrying device than the ones before were.

You seem to be settling in almost cheerfully, Michael.

[eudaimonikos]

Well - I mean, it's good to see everyone again. Not too bad to take a trip either...I'm sure I'll feel differently in a few months, of course, but I didn't have much of a choice anyway.

[Might as well...try to appreciate the change in scenery while things aren't actively awful???]

Do they do non-phone stuff, too?

[findingtruth]

Um. [She trails off, seemingly uncertain. After all, she isn't entirely sure she wants to know the answer, but...] What... kind of dog is she?

[eudaimonikos]

She's a Warg! Some kind of human or orc name for a direwolf, or something like that? People said they were from a movie.

[blackmothwings]

Michael! How good it is to see you and Eleanor both. Are you well?

[eudaimonikos]

Lucille! Good to see you too! I'm doing pretty good - and Eleanor seems fine. Not too sure how she got here, but she wasn't even wet when I found her.

[Like, did she swim through the ocean too? Who knows?]

Hello, Michael!

I cannot tell if you mean it when you say it's been a century!

[He holds up a hand and waves it eagerly, his robe's sleeve flapping about.

... Yes, that's a perfect reunion with friends! Nobody can say otherwise!]

[eudaimonikos]

I do! Probably - time's different in the afterlife, but it comes out to about that much. How've you been, Diarmuid?

Gordy! [Wait.] —errr, Michael!

Oh man, oh man. Am I glad to see you!

[eudaimonikos]

[FOR ONCE, it's been long enough that Michael actually doesn't freak out over his secret identity as Gordon Indigo the Squid potentially being compromised! No way everybody else remembers that, right? Anyway - it's Vyng! Vyng's still here!]

Oh, wow, Vyng! It's great to see you, too! It's been a while, how have you been?

[morningstud]

It is quite the interesting object, isn't it? I've never seen anything like it before!

[eudaimonikos]

What's yours look like?

[survivalthroughhate]

So nice to know you haven't changed a bit.

[He truly does mean that sincerely. Maul is very fond of Michael in his own way.]

[eudaimonikos]

It's only been a hundred-odd years.

[But then, he changed rather drastically in much less time recently, so.]
