[He's done enough looking around before actually making himself known on the network. It had occurred to him originally to hide his identity but given other people in residence, he's pretty sure it wouldn't last regardless.

When the video initializes, he's sitting at the dining table in the pod he's been given, or the one he woke up in anyway. All the prints matched, so it was his for now at least.]

Bonjour, neighbors. [And yes, he is eating a sandwich while he's talking.] The name's Remy, and I guess we'll be sharin' space for a while. Got some questions, though.

[His voice is deep, smooth, and heavily Acadian accented. He sets down his triangle-cut sandwich slice on the plate next to him.]

What sorta stuff can a homme expect 'round here, eh? I don't reckon our host took all the time out of its day just to give us luxury accommodations in this here premiere under-the-sea home away from home, non? Also, while we're talkin', my name ring any bells with anybody? Just curious. Bon chance, mes amies, hope to hear from y'all soon.

[David doesn't gossip as much as he could.]

Can you though?

[athiefalways]

'Course! Question is, you gonna trust me?

[doubled_speed]

I suppose I'll have to figure that out.

[athiefalways]

That's all I ask.

[doubled_speed]

If you were a Summers, I'd probably give you less of a chance.

[athiefalways]

If I was a Summers I'd have my own set of issues.

[doubled_speed]

Damn fucking right you would.

[athiefalways]

[He chuckles at that.]

Well, thank the good Lord for small favors, non?

[doubled_speed]

Small favors tends to be the only sort powers that be offer, right?

[athiefalways]

Naw, I've had a few major ones now and then.

[doubled_speed]

Well, aren't you lucky? Pretty sure my major one was getting to live.

[athiefalways]

Got that favor once or twice myself.

[doubled_speed]

Don't think I get it more than once.

[athiefalways]

I hope you never have to find out.

[doubled_speed]

Same here. But I figure Karma used enough just making sure B and I were Retrorincarnated.

[athiefalways]

You keep doin' good, Tommy, and I reckon you'll earn another favor or two.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, that's just how life is sometimes. I guess.

[athiefalways]

If you're meanin' stumblin' around, tryin' to make sense of what's happened most days? Oui, Tommy, that's life.

[doubled_speed]

Life likes to screw us over.

[athiefalways]

Ain't that the truth?

[doubled_speed]

Damn right. Ain't much of a point in lying about it either.
