[The video opens with a very flushed Chuuya, and the source of that rosy color on his cheeks is soon readily apparent. In his hand is a glass of red wine that’s barely half-full, and it’s obvious that he’s been hitting the bottle hard. Behind him is the backdrop of a lavish, cozy bedroom, and a small bird can be seen flitting to and fro.]

This is the first time I’ve posted a video on here. Seems easy enough. Anyway, while we all wait for news of whatever the hell is going on with the bigger picture right now, why not have some fun?

[Chuuya takes a sip of his wine.]

So I’m gonna ask a few questions. First off, what’s your drink of choice? I’m taking suggestions on different cocktails to mix up since I’ve got an entire bar to work with now. Hell, if it’s good enough, I might just name it after you.

[And he downs the rest of the wine. So classy.]

Second question; besides the people, what do you miss most about home? Or maybe tell me about something you’ve gotten back that you were missing when you first woke up. Or even weirdass gifts you never asked for that just randomly appeared.

[ There's a very buff old man in front of the camera. He's fills so much of it. He leans close to the screen and grins hugely. ] Beer. Beer is my favorite. But not just any beer. There is a special beer that is only made by religious men in the area I grew up in. There's nothing at all like that anywhere else. It's the greatest beer in all the worlds and no one has yet to be able to match it's taste.

As for strange gifts. When I came back from the dead, I found that I owned a house on wheels. And previously, I had been asleep for three days and gained an entire year. When I came back, I had a horse. It's so strange.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Holy shit that’s the biggest man he’s ever seen. Chuuya blinks a few times, surprised, before returning the grin.]

Yeah? Beer isn’t bad, especially if it’s made in small batches like that. I like it nice and cold.

[Came back from the dead? Like Dylas and Mephisto? Just how many people have been resurrected like that??

Maybe he just won’t mention it...]

A house on wheels? The horse sounds cool, but I’ve never heard of a house on wheels.

[panzersoldat]

[ He's even bigger in real life. ]

Well, I'd love to challenge you to making that sort of beer, but I know it's impossible. No one but those monks will ever make beer like that. And I don't want to get my hopes up. [ He's a snob, okay. ]

Ja. A house on wheels. It's got a steam-powered engine, so I can drive my house where ever I want. So now, I have a knight's horse and a traveling kingdom. It's all I can hope for as a knight.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Heh, well, maybe not, but I could try mixing you something else. I’ve got a few ideas, if you like your booze strong and bitter.

[Look at Chuuya’s face light up then. Both of those things sound so cool!]

You’re a knight? Like a knight from medieval times?

[panzersoldat]

I like it very strong and very thick. Dark ale is my favorite of the beers from home.

[ A laugh and a slightly guilty look ] Yes. I am. But not from medieval times. I am a knight from 2076.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Damn, wish I had some right now.

[Oh! He hasn’t met many people from the “future” here! Exciting!]

2076? What was the world like then?

[panzersoldat]

I do too. It's the best. I miss it a lot.

[ A little nod ]

My world. I wish I could say it was wonderful. There is much hope, but 30 years ago, we had a terrible war. Machines called Omnics gained souls and something happened. They tried to kill all of mankind. We won, but the price was very very high. Even today, we still are feeling the effects of that war. Most of Australia is uninhabitable, for instance. And there are many places where the authorities refuse to help. There are dark forces trying to make things worse.

The one group that fought against the corruption and the gangs and everything...it's been declared illegal by the United Nations. We are still going to fight for what's right, to help the people, but we do so knowing that we will be criminals for it. People suffer and something must be done. If the government won't do it, then we will.

[ A pause and then because it's always a question asked about the future. ] We don't have fully flying cars, but my Van and many other vehicles hovered.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[It’s only now that Chuuya realizes just how lucky he is to have lived in a somewhat stable world, even with the threat of rogue ability users and genius masterminds trying to take over. At least there weren’t killer robots in his time.]

Damn. That sounds rough.

[A conflict so large and devastating that parts of the earth were left uninhabitable...he can’t even imagine...]

Ah, so you guys are like vigilante heroes, huh? Cool.

[Even hovering vehicles are impressive to Chuuya.]

I had a motorcycle back home. I miss it a lot.

[panzersoldat]

It was. We lost a lot of people.

[I suppose. Though I consider myself a traveling knight. As knights protect the innocent and uphold justice.

But a motorcycle? I think I'm a little jealous. They don't make those my size. I have a horse, a gift from above. But how fun it must have been to ride a motorbike.
