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?

.. yeah. [ There's that brief moment of consideration before the answer follows, but there's certainly no hesitation at all in the answer itself. ]

I can't imagine a teenager talking like you.

[ Not even in a bad way. It's just that Michael is so.. Michael. Trying to shove that into a teenage form would make it go in the direction of 'how do you do, fellow kids?' so quickly. ]

I mean, you said it was randomly generated, but somehow it really seems to suit you at the same time? It's weird. Maybe you just got lucky.

Maybe I grew into it.

[But he's grinning - it feels like a compliment.]

I wouldn't pick a new one, now. Probably could if I wanted - in my position, I could just commission something. But I don't even know what else I'd want in it.
