[it's automatic now; to make a call out that's meant only for a certain telepaths mind. a yell of tell me you're back. tell me you can hear me. please, before it's gone completely. his mind wiping blank in a way that only a person who spent half their lives around telepaths would know how to do

now, he turns his attention to his network device. it's different to his last one, but similar enough that he has no trouble navigating his way through it. the draw of the ship is too strong for him to leave the area yet. so when the video cuts in, the metal hull, gleaming in the sun, is all too clear]

Glory. If this is your doing, congratulations. You got me.

[his face may look familiar, but there are differences there. his hair is slightly longer, styled differently. he seems more relaxed than his other self. even his voice differs slightly. the undercurrents of german are less pronounced. but it's still clear that he's spent a lot of time speaking another language entirely. (hebrew, to those who can tell).]

We've already discussed this, so if you wouldn't mind, I have work to do.

[he adds a ping here to the few people he cares about; to hope summers, snape, caffrey. even givens gets a message sent through. but they're all bouncing back, and that leaves him...confused. annoyed. angry]

Will someone tell me what's going on here? Is this the city playing tricks again, or...

[there's some muttering under his breath then; hebrew now. if anyone listens closely enough, they may register the word ha-satan amongst it all. yes, he's talking about that satan]

I want answers. Now.

ooc; to you pesky telepaths: you're welcome to pick up on that first message. he knows how to project his thoughts well enough to make it rise above the usual surface thoughts people have. he just can't direct it to one person :|b

A what?

An alternate version. I'm not the man who was here previously.

Riiight. You claimin' he's your twin or somethin'?

Not quite. Places such as this seem capable of gathering together different versions of the same person. The version of me that was here previously has experienced a vastly different life to my own.

Wait, what? [ That was full blown skepticism in his voice. ] Run that by me again?

[there's a momentary pause as he tries to decide whether to even bother explaining himself. people seem to have already jumped to conclusions about him afterall.

but eventually, and somewhat resigned to it-]

I was previously in a city similar to this that was capable of drawing together people from different worlds and realities. This included duplicates of those there, including one of myself and one of a...close friend of mine.

Here, there are currently three versions of the same person present, so it can be safely assumed that the same stands true here.

[ Over the last two weeks, Eliot had seen a lot of things that were impossible, even by his standards. This though, this was talking about alternate realities and out of this world experiences. ]

You're kiddin', right?

[ He heard the seriousness in the tone though and knew that Lehnsherr was not. At least, he talked to the other and he didn't seem to sound like the other guy. ]

The hell? So how's anyone supposed to tell you guys apart?

[ And he may just be giving the man some benefit of doubt. ]

Given that the other version of myself is no longer present, there's no need to.

[the xaviers, on the other hand...]

There are always ways to tell individuals apart, no matter how alike they look.

Yeah, I know that.

But you're makin' this whole alternate realities thing hard to believe, man.

Are you expecting me to prove myself to you?

[that amusement is back again. briefly.]

How well did you know my alternate self?

[ There was a snort back on his end. ]

No.

I didn't know him enough to know what you could prove anyway. We had a very brief chat.

You sound different, I'll give you that. Who knows, you could be tellin' the truth.

Name's Eliot.

There are others here who knew him better than I do. If you're really that concerned, perhaps you should seek them out.

[though until he's gotten the hang of this network, he isn't about to offer up names.]

I'd offer a name in return, but it seems a moot point.

[ A strong sounding chuckle answered Erik. ] You won't be claimin' to be an alternate version if you don't have the same name.

Yeah, I got it.

Gotta say, I don't know anyone who'd say much good things about you right now, so best if I don't ask them.

A sentiment I'm all too familiar with.

[you can't lead a nation without having a few bad things said about you. and you can't kill others without being hated. who knew?]

[ Eliot chuckled, a lot more willing to forgive because he didn't know the guy yet. He was wary, but until proven otherwise, he will go with the belief that this guy wasn't going to actively destroy everything again. ]

Guess you're well aware what you did, huh.

I've been told what my alternate self had done, prior to his disappearance.

Right. That didn't go over too well, I bet.

Well, keep a heads up. I'm still makin' my way around, so I can't tell you much 'bout this place 'sides we're dropped in the middle of a war zone where we're seriously outgunned.

Unsurprisingly. [and hey, he actually sounds a little amused.]

No matter. There are some here who have the information I need.

Sounds like you've got connections then.

I might turn around and ask what you find out.

Of a sort. [what with none of them actually being the people he knows.]

You may have to wait some time before I have anything of interest to share.

That's fine. [ The important thing was building a new network of connections. He could sort out the who and whats later. ] Just keep me in mind.

Of course.

[assuming he's ever willing to follow through on his words.]
