Verse 01 - Video
[The feed opens up on a...pretty beat up redhead. Dried blood, bruises starting to form, cuts and scrapes, everything short of bullet wounds, really.
Those were healed before he woke up.
It takes a second for him to realize that he got it to start recording and he blushes a bit. Not that you can tell with all the bruising and whatnot, but. He looks like any beat-up 19th century Frenchman: dirty, bloody shirt, bloody blue waistcoat...basically, he didn't bother to clean up before figuring out this console.
When he speaks, his voice is fairly soft and he's terribly awkward, and not just because he's talking into a box]
The gentleman who brought me here said I could use this...device to contact others in the city. Does...is anyone else here from Paris? If so, are you familiar with Les Amis de l'ABC? My name is Jehan--Jean, but I prefer Jehan--Prouvaire, and I need to know if I'm the only one of us here. If I am not, could you please direct me to my friends?
[Don't ask if he wants to be alone here or not. He couldn't tell you]
I also need a doctor, please. I don't think I am in any danger of dying now, but I would rather not risk it.
Ah...thank you.
[[ooc: for those of you not familiar with French, "Jehan" does has a different sound than "Jean"]]

Okay. Then don't look.
[Shrug, totally genuine smile. Problem solved.
Nita has a fundamental cultural disconnect that she doesn't notice and Jehan's probably too flustered to pick up on: she's not ashamed and doesn't realize anyone would expect her to be.]

[A pause as he realizes something]
And, ha, I would prefer to be called by my last name, at least for now.

Right. Mister Prouvaire.
[She's not using the honorific sarcastically; she's just generally polite, albeit casual. If she's coming off as a little more distant than before, it's because, as far as she's concerned, he's being a jerk about something that doesn't affect him.]
