[Console - Video]

[valevectorian]

[The feed opens up with a headshot of a guy at the console. Moppy white hair that barely touches his shoulders, red eyes, pale skin. An expression that seems to embody a mixture of boredom and annoyance. A black choker encircles his neck, with a black box connected to it and wires that go from the box to somewhere behind his ears. A person who doesn't know any better would likely mistake it for a fancy, if unusually designed MP3 player. He takes a moment to glare daggers at the screen before proceeding to speak.]

To start off, I'm only going to bother with three questions.

[The rest could always wait.

Accelerator holds up the pointer finger of one hand.]

One- I don't care whether you're someone I'd hate or tolerate; does the name 'Academy City' mean anything to anyone else here?

[He holds up the middle finger now.]

Two- I need to know if anyone's come across a girl named Misaka who speaks in the third person. She was with me right before I woke up in this weird-ass place.

[He holds up a third finger.]

And three...

[Deliberate pause. His eyes narrow, brow furrowing. He hates to bring this up in case it brings too much attention to the topic he plans to ask about, but it's too important to ignore for the time being.]

Three. What's the norm for supernatural abilities when you're not from here?

[He's felt drained since he woke up. No matter what the truth of the nature of this place was, his connection to the Misaka Network doesn't seem to be compromised. His power, on the other hand, seems to be barely functional, based on the few testing attempts he made when he first woke up. Something was up.]

I wouldn't have been able to use this fucking console in the first place, and I'd be covered in sunburn.

[Passive protective abilities. Also interesting.]

Unless this world's sun is different from yours. Would you mind letting me know if your powers do return in full? I'm trying to establish a pattern.

[True, Accelerator is assuming that the sun here emits UV rays that operate on a close enough set of laws to what he's used to that his automatic UV ray deflection - one of the only side effects of his ability that have any presence under Normal Mode - would work as expected. But even if it that isn't the case, he can at least confirm that somehow he can manage to get reception to the Misaka Network. The mechanics behind that... well, who the hell knew. But oh well. He can worry about that later.]

If I feel like it.

Thank you.
