[I hope none of you were tired of new faces yet, because here's another very new face for your enjoyment! This one, however, might not be what you're all used to.

The person holding the communicator at roughly arm's length is obviously a young man -- from the general build of his body, shoulders, and face, he can't be any older than 17 years. He certainly has a very... unique appearance to boot, though for some reason the jacket is tied around his waist instead of him actually wearing it. While the purpose behind this isn't clear, it does mean he's standing half-naked and apparently unbothered by that fact, meaning anyone watching the video can see he has far, far more scars snaking up and around his arms and shoulders than any teenager should have.]

This shit again? Who the hell is it this time? What the fuck did I do to upset your precious plans now?

[His tone is aggressive and angry; this is clearly not the first time he's been whisked off from his home, it seems, but he's not exactly the paragon of calm, rational thinking at the moment.]

Dammit, come out and fight!

[The silence is distressing. Wing realizes he may have come across a bit...harshly. He'd probably sounded like Dai Atlas.]

[It was a distressing thought.]

I am sorry for my tone. We are under a great deal of pressure here, from a variety of sources. But it does not excuse my actions.

[He tilts his head, feeling the other studying him. He gives a tentative smile.] I am Wing, and I wish I could welcome you to a better place.

[Akira seems surprised at the apology, blinking a little.]

It's fine, ain't no big deal.

[Wing didn't really sound all that harsh, anyway, at least not to Akira. He nods a bit at the introduction.]

Akira. Don't worry 'bout it, it ain't like I haven't done this before.

[Though a talking Buriki-Daioh-looking-robot is new, he'll admit.]

I just...I understand how distressing and disorienting this all must be.

It was very unsettling when we awoke ourselves.

[He tilts his head.] You have? Is that possibly why they took you?

[flowing_kinetics]

I'm fine. I got all the freaking out done the first time.

Dunno. Could be. I ain't 'xactly worth anything and I can't tell 'em how it worked, so hell if I know.

[knightoflight]

You have every reason to be upset. We were all taken against our will, and no one seems to have any answers, much less a way home.

[He tilts his head.]

Everyone is worth something, friend.

[flowing_kinetics]

Yeah. Like I said, ain't new for me.

[Huh. Kind of a weird thing to say, at least Akira thinks so.]

Dunno 'bout that.

[knightoflight]

[A hint of a smile.] So you are used to being taken, and yet think you have no value?

[It's not weird: he believes it. Entirely.]

Only reason I was taken the first time is 'cause I pissed someone off.

[Translation: Yes.]
