[Today's feed is greeted not with an image of a person, but instead, of a video game with rather cheerful commentary.]

[And man, look at those graphics! They're really top of the line for... the early 90's. But Rider is perfectly happy despite that, since he was very surprised to come across the video game for his beloved war franchise and has decided to share his virtual conquering.]

[The video is showing the screen as he plays, but it's clearly Rider talking. Who else is this happy and boisterous?]

Haha! That's one more territory to add to my great empire! Why, at this rate, I'll have the whole world in a few more turns! To think that there is a game that is so well suited to my tastes... Admirable War Tactics never disappoints!

Hou, but the third time around, this game is too simple! There is strategy, but the enemies lack in intelligence. Hey, those of you listening! I challenge you to a match! This thing has the ability for two to compete, so it should not be hard, eh? Let's see who can conquer the world first!

[[ooc; feel free to respond to Rider's shenanigans (critique him, cheer him on, etc.) or take up his offer! Despite my photoshopping, it's Risk, haha.]]

'96? No wonder. Geez, I was three years old then.

[Johnny watches Rider play for a moment, though. Well, he loves video games, and this is better than nothing.]

Awright, count me in. Uh, I'm Johnny, by the way. Figure I may as well let ya know who I am since I'll be sharin' a bathroom with ya 'n' all.

Ah, yes!

[He pauses the game and rises to properly greet him. Hospitality is important, after all! So he offers his hand for a very cheerful handshake] I am glad to have met you, Johnny! I believe we have missed each other since each others' arrival, though I suppose that is not surprising! I spend more time out of here than not. I am Alexander III of Macedon—But call me Rider. It is the name I go by these days!

[Rider, why you so big. Johnny's over six feet tall, but he's thin as a rake. Rider's hand swallows his in the shake.]

Johnny D'Amico. Uh, of Manhattan. Yeah, guess I've been away from my room a lot. Been checking this place out.

[And it's a firm handshake, but with that done, he sits right back in front of the TV with a rather loud thunk]

Good, good! Exploring a new place, that's crucial to getting a complete understanding. Ah, at least for a first step. Did you find anything of interest?

I learned that I can't get out of here, which pisses me off. gotta find another way to get around the walls. And other than everything being grey 'n' us bein' heroes of the gods or whatever, it's kinda of a normal town.

Ha! Well, odd as it is to say, these things are not so strange where I come from. In fact, this is a welcome and peaceful reprieve. I have quite enjoyed it so far!

Ya know, you're the second guy to tell me that. Where the hell do you people live where this is a normal thing?

Ah, well... I cannot explain much, but from where I came from, I was in a tournament of heroes! Fighting to the death for a chance for a great prize! It was fantastic in its own right, do not misunderstand, but I appreciate peace with war.

Geez. Sounds like shit from a movie, too. Am I the only guy here who ain't, like, some kinda big shot weirdo? [So says the guy who looks like this.]

Wait, did you say "fight to the death"?

Well, yes! What else would a tournament constitute? [He nods with a smile] It's more complex than that, but that's the way that I can explain it without getting in trouble! It's a rather private affair, you see.

Oh, I dunno, like... trophies. Or cash. Not bein' the only guy left alive.

Yeah, I'd imagine. I don't wanna, like, find out information and get roped into duels to the death.
