[Onlookers are treated to the shaky camera work of none other than Haurchefant. There's a bit of jostling as he's attempting to figure out if it's working or not—technology is not his forte—but once the realization hits, he settles and the camera does as well.]

—Greetings, my friends!

[He seems pretty enthusiastic, which is a little strange considering where they are.]

I am Lord Haurchefant, however I realize that such a title holds little weight here.

Regardless, I come to you not as a lord, but as an equal, beseeching every last man and woman to hearken to me. We are but comrades suffering a similar fate, and as such we must come together.

[He gestures widely with his hands, a smile present on his features.]

We should foster camaraderie in a place so stricken with peril around every turn—we must find succor within the company of one another, and aid those who cannot aid themselves. Divided we will become nothing more than meager scraps for the fiends that skulk about in the shadows, mere marionettes for the will of these so-called gods; if we but can come together, and work in unity—we will be triumphant against such unfavorable odds.

What divine folly brought us here matters not, but what does is what we do together in this reprehensible situation we find ourselves in.

[With no small ounce of determination, he clenches his fist.]

I implore those who have combat prowess and skill to aid those who are not so fortunate, and for those who might yet hold interest in learning some modicum of self defense—I was a garrison commander from whence I hail, and to that end I am willing to teach those who are willing to learn.

We are all brothers and sisters suffering the same fate, and to that end we must assist one another, so that this burden does not crush us all beneath its arduous weight!

May Halone guide us all.

Sheesh, it's only been a couple of days and we already have someone trying to unite a bunch of strangers. [ Get a load of this guy, seriously.

Despite the harsh remark, her tone is soft and her gaze elsewhere. It was as if she was looking at the screen, but beyond what the picture showed. ]

We gather and hope that increases our chances for survival. Is that it?

[ well, the word content in that speech sounded like it was mostly bullshit, but... the energy behind it was respectable. ]

You seem like a very optimistic person
Do things usually work out in your favor?
Just wondering.

[Half the video at first is obscured by a thumb. Whoops. Sorry, he's really not so good with this thing! "Answer" and "Send" and "Goodbye" are about all he's got down...But from what little face is visible, he seems pretty enthusiastic!]

I don't know what half of what you said means, but if you're talking about working together to survive, beat the guys that put us here and get everyone to the surface, then I'm with ya one hundred percent!

[ The whole message is gross to Johanna. He's too naive, too sickly sweet. It makes her sick. And who the fuck calls himself a lord anymore? Johanna is absolutely taking this as condescending junk, and she has no time for it. ]

Nah. If other people get crushed cause they're weak, that's fine with me.

video.

Succor? [that's not even the first word haurchefant has said that lloyd didn't quite know the meaning of, but it's kind of the one sticking out to him right now because at least he's heard people use some of the other ones before.

why can't people just speak plainly so lloyd can understand them, huh?]
