[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

I believe trusting your word without proof would be the greater waste of time, as claiming to be someone else entirely would certainly fit with the self-centered cowardice of a man who would provoke a military strike and then vanish to leave others to deal with the results of that provocation.

But humans always have had a very strange concept of reasonable use of time.

[lehnsherr]

The first mistake you've made is to call me a coward. The second, to consider me a human.

Would you care to rethink your comments, or are you going to continue to try and provoke me? Because I warn you now, I don't have an infinite supply of patience.

[relicrebellion]

Your posturing does not impress anyone. Nor does your self-delusion.

[And she'll just close the channel now, because from her perspective, she's arguing with a madman, and nothing useful ever comes of that.]
