[Logan taps his fingers agitatedly as the feed begins, but that's the only part of him that's anything but stoic. Even with his hair lank and greasy from the sea, his clothes stained and damp and that breastplate surely irritating him, he projects as much kingly composure and calm as he can muster.]

I suppose the first order of business would be to introduce myself. [His voice is deep and rich, a bit of a contrast with his thin, angular features.] My name is Logan. I am the king of a place called Albion, but unless any of my citizens have found their way here, I'm aware I have no authority and will not make any attempts to command.

[His left hand clenches into a fist, hard enough for his knuckles to go white, then relaxes. The movement is repeated rhythmically as he finishes.] The person who brought me here from the Shell's Edge seemed to believe he had told me everything of import, but is there any other knowledge I'm likely to be missing? The natives of a place often take for granted something a foreigner would like to know.

[Reminded strongly of his little sister, Logan barely resists the urge to roll his eyes. He doesn't know what a douchebag is, but he gets the jist.]

Are you trying to be a bleating child, or is it a natural state of being for you?

Did you seriously just 'I know you are but what am I' me?

Dude.

Seriously?

Is this 'douchebag' comparable to a squalling infant? If so, then yes, because it was accurate. [Problem?]

Actually, a douchebag happens to be-- [and this is Brandon launching into a shameless description of, you know, the medical function of the aforementioned items--] but is usually applied to jerks who have their own head stuffed so far up their ass they could audition for The Human Centipede or something.

So no. Not really anything alike.

[classy :| Logan is more than mildly disgusted because what the hell why but he doesn't show any of it, and mostly is glad that apparently Reaver hasn't come up with this idea yet.]

Then no, I did not.

Could've fooled me, man.

So. 'King Logan'. Welcome to the turtle, watch out, the Emperor's a cannibal. I hear she likes her foreigners medium rare.

You cannot shock me, child. Save your breath.

Oh, I probably could if I really wanted to, but I get it. You want to stay all Imperius Rex so you look cool in front of the unwashed masses. It's cool.

Feel free to try, though remember that disgust is not the same as shock. No doubt the latter would come easily enough. [Because you're gross. That's what he's saying.]

Victorian England would probably beg to differ.

[he likes attention and doesn't care if it's positive or negative. that+his natural trolling tendencies, well...]

[why is he bothering with you rn] I don't know what that is.

It's okay. I'm sure you can still be a good king without knowing anything important. I mean, that goatee. That right there's gotta be like, ten monarch points.

[because he's gorgeous? no, don't answer that.]

[You're not horrible enough to be his type. I wish that were a joke.] My people are fickle and greatly concerned with appearances.

[So basically: yes, yes it is. At least.]

[ooh la logan!]

And public opinion thinks looking like Tony Stark's evil twin is a good thing?

[Be much older, a lot slimier, and extremely amoral and then you might be his type. Healthiest standards.]

I don't know who Tony Stark is, either.

[Well there is time travel in his canon to that effect...]

I'm pretty sure you'd know him if you saw him. Like, seriously. You two are freakishly alike.

Except he doesn't sound like he escaped from the Tower of London. More like the Playboy Mansion.

[You are not even trying to let him keep up, are you?] I see. [Except how he doesn't, even a little.]

Don't you worry your pretty little head about it. It'll all make sense eventually.

[... a beat.]

I'm Brandon. Striker. If you're into codenames.

Which do you prefer to be called?

... What, you actually care?

Not that I anticipate having much cause to address you, but if I do, it's useful to know what name you prefer. [Of course, he'll call you the opposite if you're being a shit. Carrot, stick.]

... Brandon. Brandon works.

[But he sounds a little cowed.]

[Damn straight.]

Brandon.

What?

[WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW HE TOLD YOU HIS NAME GOSH.]

[wow not what he meant moronsayswhat]

Nothing.
