[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 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.

[lehnsherr]

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?]

[golden_retriever]

[ 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.

[lehnsherr]

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

[golden_retriever]

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.

[lehnsherr]

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

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

[golden_retriever]

Sounds like you've got connections then.

I might turn around and ask what you find out.

[lehnsherr]

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.

[golden_retriever]

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.

[lehnsherr]

Of course.

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