[It’s a few moments after the text is received that a video entry pops up instead. Naugus’ scowling face takes up most of the screen, as he appears to be leaning close and examining it. He seems to not be aware the video feed is already live and functional. A fingertip taps at the glass before he finally sits back to a more reasonable distance. He's an odd-looking figure, with his bat ears, plentiful sharp teeth, horned forehead and long beard. The wizard clears his throat, still scowling.]
I suppose this will have to suffice for now. But really, whoever is behind these planks with lettered buttons on them CLEARLY did not account for something like this.
[Naugus lifts his left hand to reveal that it's instead a crab-like claw. He snaps it twice for illustrative emphasis before lowering it again.]
Ehhn. That aside, I am quite interested in learning what other, aheh, 'heroes' have been summoned to this realm. Feel free to make yourself known and I will deign to do the same.

How can this notion not distress you, boy!?
video; *drives maaaadly!!!*
Distress is a weakness. I am angered, but there are far more important things to do than maintain anger against a situation that can not be changed.
[ He's been here for a year and a half, and more. And he's decided helping is more important than having things his way, even if it's not necessarily helping the authority that brought them. So... yeah. He's learned to just man up and accept his circumstances. ]
[ ... besides, he liked Asti, in his dream. ]
video; and they were never seen again.
Hhhhhhhhh...
[He hisses to himself in frustration, rubbing his eyes and forehead with his good hand. Once he lowers it again, Naugus at least looks a little bit less frustrated.]
But you're right. It is what it is. There is little that could be done about this, I'd imagine. At least nothing with dire consequences that do not outweigh the desired outcome. I will dwell on it and see how my feelings do or don't change over time.
I'd imagine Asti is a 'you don't call him, he calls you' type, isn't he?
video; ... his dad is Batman, you know.
[ No, seriously. Distress isn't Damian's usual thing at all. ]
And, of course you could try. But going back over the messages on the network can show you what three people who tried to contact him telepathically reported on the subject. He needs to narrow down his awareness to become comprehensible to our minds, is the best theory I have.
You can ignore that and make the attempt, anyway.
video; Into the sunset! Not into the ditch!
video; oh, right, THAT one. SOMEHOW.
No. That is the way that people have tried and not succeeded in talking with him. The only means is in dreams, and then, he comes. I have asked the kedan - they said, in the older legends, the turtle only spoke to very few people, and very rarely. It is considered a great blessing.
Asti visited more than a few people, however. He might do so again.
His presence in the dreams... [ The boy's face softens, just a little. It was a memory of feeling better than he possibly expected to. ]
It does not feel like an intrusion, even when he changes things. You can tell he is trying to help, rather than exert his will.

Re: Video;
That would depend on whether you take into account that you are an unsolicited arrival into his very thoughts, in the first place.
Re: Video;
Re: Video;
[ Damian shakes his head. ]
Whether you are a telepath or not, Asti is aware of your existence and your state of... happiness, since the moment you were brought here. Our well-being affect him, though slightly less-directly than his affect us. But he does know of each of us independently. We are his responsibility, even if it was the late Emperor who chose that for us, and for him.
But you have been brought to him. You become a part of his thoughts. This is how this world operates.
Re: Video;
...I see.
[That's all he says for a long moment, still seeming to roll over these words. Eventually, his claw lowers and he straightens up.]
A daunting thing to take in, surely. But I will keep it in mind. You have been a remarkable source of insight, child. For that, I thank you.
Video; Wrap?
The name is Damian.
[ And you're welcome,, but why would he actually say that? ]
Video; Wrap!
Until next time.
[It takes a bit of doing, trying to remember which series of buttons or which command does it, but after a bit of fumbling with the keys, the video feed comes to an end. Blip.]
