Video Post

[solo_patria]

[The video opens with Enjolras, who looks a bit worse for wear, considering his arrival here was right after he'd been gunned down with eight shots, knowing that all of his friends had died before him, save for Grantaire. But he IS here, and obviously startled, and in pain though he is, there is a bemused expression on his face as he peers out skeptically at the new technology, not entirely sure he understands the explanation he was given, but willing to make the attempt at mastering it, if this is how communication on this strange new island works.]

Greetings, those of you who are seeing this. I am...not quite sure of how I might address people I have not seen when I attempt to speak to them. The progress of the keedans seems to be above that of man where I am from to have wrought such an invention as THIS and the things it allows us now.

I am Enjolras and I have come from Paris, at the hour of what I thought to be my death in 1832, and instead have been installed here by some means I cannot fully comprehend. In that life, I wrote, and read the law in hope of practicing one day. [Best not to mention what else he did in a place the mysterious Emperor might see it. He mistrusts this figure already for being what he is.]

In this new one, I am not fully certain of what I shall do, but I have seen the other on this island making postings of all sorts and thought that I should speak as well. I am told that seeking a job here is quite important, but tell me what there is most need of, and I shall gladly apply there if they will have me do so, and if there are others I might speak to who know more of the world whence I came?

[And he is frowning, deeply, troubled by some stray thought perhaps, as the video feed shuts off, leaving him remaining there in his suite, pensive.]

i'm sorry he is so abrupt ;_;

Good, you're back.

[Please excuse the admiral paying you... basically no attention as he turns away from the console.]

Find your friend and dry him out. It's no longer amusing.

Hehehe have a confused Enj

[An unfamiliar Englishman making demands? Oh Enjolras LOVES this.]

Back? Then you knew me before the accident that they insist I had. Yes, I do intend to check on Grantaire. I am told that another of our number is doing that as we speak, however.

If your compatriots claim you had an accident, then certainly they know better than I. Perhaps you have simply lost your memory. It can take one that way, if they hit their head.

That IS the claim that they are making yes. That I must be injured or ill in some way. Perhaps they are right if so many recall my presence here. But as to Grantaire. I am told Jehan is with him now as he is attempting to ...dry out and intend to see him myself later. I shall try my best to reason with him regarding future drinking, even should the rationing let up.

Grantaire is a good man, but even so, a drunk Grantaire IS quite the trial, I know that well, monsieur.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Yes, well. Good luck with him.

[solo_patria]

Thank you for that. I do hope that he can be made well.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Time, I'm sure, will see to that.

[solo_patria]

Indeed. It would seem that he is past the stage of being in immediate danger if Combeferre is not watching him constantly.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Indeed. Then there's hardly anything left for you to do, is there?

[solo_patria]

In Grantaire's case? Nearly nothing, that is true. In other cases, I would not say such. There are still things which must be done here, I imagine.

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Not touching that with a ten foot stick, Enjolras. He has a project; if you want to go start reorganizing the entire damn turtle, that's on you.]

Good day to you, sir.

[solo_patria]

[Either way it's good to know that he won't be stopped from doing so?]

And to you, Monsieur
