[The feed kicks on to show a very close image of a handsome, sunglasses-clad face. Whoever this man is, he's got a merry grin for someone who basically got kidnapped from his Earth.]

Ah! Perfect, perfect! Finally got the nature of this little device downpat. What marvelous technology this place has. I've never seen its like, before. Not even in Blacktech records...

[He refocuses, sweeping his broad hat across his bare chest and giving a slight bow.]

Ciao~! On behalf of the chivalrous Jellyfish Air Pirates, Johnny greets you all with an open heart. It seems we're all in quite an interesting predicament, hm? Rest assured, I intend to pull my weight and help get us all home as soon as possible. Hopefully before Christmas, as I have very important business to attend to. If the women of Earth noticed me missing for too long a time, there might be panic in the very streets!

Well, let's see what kind of crew I'll be working with. Any other Thor patrons on this message system? Come, come, step forward. House-mates should help each other, no? Even if you're not in that house, introduce yourself anyway.

[While he's on a roll, might as well keep talking.]

Personally, I'm an Earth-native, from the year 2182...give or take. We're not entirely certain, due to unfortunate circumstances.

video. OMG JOHNNY♥

[Oh, that year totally pings Saber. She rubs her chin thoughtfully.]

Fumu! Almost exactly a hundred years into my future, though such hardly matters when I exist in a computerized world.

You may call me Saber, and I currently reside in the Freyr house! It is a pleasure, Johnny.

I think the women will be fine.

:3

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Saber, eh?

[He memorizes it and her face, immediately.]

A fierce, strong name. I'll bet you're quite a sharp girl, then. The pleasure is returned, dearest Saber. I don't know what "computerized" means, though.

I suppose that one can only hope for the best. I can at least be secure in the knowledge that my crew is in capable hands.

[minifridge]

Your crew of your jellyfish air pirate ship, right?

Re: video;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Indeed! The Jellyfish Pirates are the most wanted crew in the skies, my lady. We crush the unjust, and help those who need it.

[minifridge]

You mean.. you're basically the Merry Men in space?

Re: video;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

...The who? Well, we are a pretty happy group. No other men on the ship, though.

[raises eyebrows]

Why, I would have thought this level of technology would be old hat by the late twenty-second century. What a shame!

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Well, humanity had a bit of a...set-back, I suppose you could say. A lot of things changed, or were lost. Magic has largely replaced the space filled by technology, in my time.

[undevil]

My, that sounds like the premise of a fantasy novel! Should I be going into emergency preparation mode upon my return, then? Battening down the hatches?

Re: video btw;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

I'd suppose it depends on if it will even happen. I have a friend who switches through time against his will, and he's said there's no guarantee of how things will work out.

Though if you ever hear about something called the "Gear Project", you might want to be wary.

[undevil]

I shall keep it in mind!

Re: video;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

So who are you, then?

[video]

[charming_jerk]

I'm from Thor house. And shit, you really come 2182? I'm from 2011.

Re: [video]

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

A very interesting time, I'm sure. Most of your Earth is still relatively livable.

[charming_jerk]

I guess? I mean, ain't like I got much else to compare it to. Are you seriously an air pirate?

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Why would I lie about that?

video;

[undevil]

Mephisto Pheles, president of True Cross Academy! (Though I suppose that's a little less exciting than piracy.)

Re: video;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

Does everyone in your academy dress like this?

video;

[undevil]

It would be rather odd for the president to wear the same uniform as his students.

Re: video;

[a_most_debonair_corsair]

It would also be rather off for the one person to dress so flamboyantly, when everyone else has to be drab.

[charming_jerk]

I dunno, cuz anyone could roll into this place claimin' they're an air pirate, and we got practically no way of tellin' whether they're lying or not. For all you know I'm a rock star or a prince.

[minifridge]

None? Who crews it- all women?

[undevil]

Oh, I think they're quite charming.
