001 [Video]

[shorttempered]

[A young man in a bright yellow and blue costume turns on his webcam and stares blankly at the screen for a moment before beginning to speak.]

So uh, I figured I should meet the new neighbors since I'm stuck here and I've been told this is the best way to do it. Hi, my name's... [He reaches up to touch the fabric around is ear.] Invincible. Jeez I really have to stop getting so used to wearing the costume, forgot if it was on or not.

...

Does anyone happen to know if this In-Between place is like a multiverse thing or something, if you know what that is? I'm trying to get a sense of my bearings and the Kedan weren't exactly very helpful.

Uh... Not that they aren't already being ridiculously helpful right now what with giving me a room and some money and all that...

[He tugs at the back of his hair and sighs.]

Can someone do me a favor and tell me again that I can't just wake up or fly out of here? The Kedan must have told me about 20 times but I figure I need to hear it at least 20 more before I start to believe it.

Thanks... and sorry this got depressing fast.

[And with that he quickly turns the camera off before he can further make a fool out of himself.]

[That is a ridiculous name.]

We are on the back of a turtle, monsieur. If you wish to simply fly out of here and into the void of space, you will doubtless be welcome to.

[Yeah yeah, take a number.]

Trust me, if that was an option I wouldn't be here talking to you... no offense. Nothing against you and all, but I really have to be somewhere else.

We all have elsewhere to be, monsieur. But the Emperor neither listens nor cares that she subjugates our wills to her own. [He shakes his head.] She is a tyrant indeed.

I... uh... yeah, of course you all do. God I need to stop sounding like a huge jackass, sorry about that.

Haven't been hearing too many glowing reviews about this lady. I take it you're not a fan either?

[Enjolras makes no effort to hide his disdain for the ruler of the turtle, his expression is wholly unimpressed.]

She is arrogant and conceited, not caring at all about the equality and freedom which all men deserve. The people are not educated, and so they have no opportunity to better their minds or take charge of their own lives, as is their right.

So they don't have schools or anything like that here? [That almost sounds appealing. Except not really, just in the joking sense.]
