[There's a bit of adjusting at first; a very close look of a young, blond man's face, then his palm covering the lens before he finally sits back, happy with himself.

He waves, beaming brightly and clearly very excited to be recording this.]

Hello everyone! My name is Jean Prouvaire. I recently arrived here, and I wanted to introduce myself. I heard this is the best way to talk to the most people, so I thought I'd try it!

Let's see, I'm from Earth. From France, specifically. It's quite different here, but I think it's lovely! I have friends here, and I hope to meet some new people as well.

What else? I'm a poet! Not professionally, I was in school for languages and linguistics, but I love to write! Oh, I also very much enjoy horticulture and botany! The plants here are so interesting and I know I ought to be careful with most of them, but some are too lovely to resist.

I think that's about all for now! I look forward to speaking with you all!

You've got a lot of pep for someone that's lost their world and crawled out of a freezer.

[Though his expression falls a bit, he works hard to keep a smile on his face, tugging at his fingers while he thinks over the statement.] Oh my, well. I do have some of my friends here, and that does help.

I suppose I'm trying to keep optimistic about the whole thing really. Yes, it's strange, and of course I miss home and the friends that aren't here. But it's the situation that I'm in, and it's not within my power to change that.

So I will continue to do the best with what is offered me.

[ukase]

[So not all the pep is real then, huh? That was good to know, since it made this more interesting.]

Whose to say you can't change the situation? Have you tried, or do you always do what you're told is and isn't possible?

[Are you for real.]

And why should he not?

[You've got Enjolras' full ire right now, Rumlow. But he'll give you a chance to explain yourself before he instructs you on how to Properly Treat People You Haven't Met]

god i am so sorry for him

[ukase]

[He was giving this a 50-50 chance of being overprotective boyfriend. This should be good.]

Just an observation, champ. You always got to jump in and do his talking for him, or can he wear his big boy pants without you holding them up for him?

never be sorry

[idealisme]

[Dismissively:] Prouvaire speaks for himself, as you see. Is it so uncommon for a man to defend his friend where you are from? It must be.

[ukase]

It's awful uncommon to come out of the gate that aggressively over a simple observation to a friend.

You seem a little overprotective.
