Arrival~ [Video] Or ~ [Action for those in Dissimulo]

[wandthief]

[A close up of a pair of clear blue-grey eyes can be seen as the camera clicks on. At first Gellert doesn't realise that the video is running as he's not used to such a modern device. He can be heard speaking to himself and can be seen properly after a moment when he pulls the communicator back.]

[In German]

What is this...

This is very peculiar indeed... Some kind of Muggle communications device, perhaps?

Can anyone hear me? If you can then maybe you are the ones who brought me here and I demand you return me at once! I do not know what kind of game you are playing but when I find you, you will certainly know you are dealing with no ordinary wizard.

..... Hello?

[He taps on the screen then laughs - the sound strangely bright given the circumstances.]

I feel like I am talking to myself...

[He looks up and around himself. Behind him the Dissimulo church can be seen and probably some Christmas decorations too. His eyes turn to the screen again.]

Hello?

[In English.]

Hello? Is anybody hearing this?

Prussia.

And you?

[There's a short pause.]

Prussia? You mean that you are from Prussia?

My name is Gellert Grindelwald.

Nice alliteration. [The name sounds old enough that she fully understands his confusion with the communicator now, though.]

And, no, if I was merely from Prussia I would have said that. I am Prussia, and being from there is simply an awesome little bonus.

Not according to my guardian. She hated Prussia.

I am from Bavaria...

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

Plenty of people hate what they can't have, kid.

And Bavaria's a loser.

You would surely earn the wrath of my Aunt Irmina.

Are you the one who has stolen me from my world? What country is this?

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

You're on another planet, and no, it's not my doing. We're stuck here, along with a great number of others. There's no apparent way home, and trust us, we've been looking.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Many people have been taken?

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

I don't know the number. I've talked to twenty, maybe? But there are far more than that, even with disappearances.

voice; German

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Are you near to this... it looks like some kind of church?

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

No. From the looks of it, you're in Dissimulo. One of three small cities we're spread out amongst here. The other two are Spero and Discedo, where I am currently.

voice; German

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

How far apart are they?

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

Two hours by train. I would guess three to four days by foot, if you're brave or stupid enough for that.

voice; German

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Is it that dangerous?

voice; German

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't attempt it on my own. [Ohsnap that makes her sound like a coward. Let her explain herself before she loses awesome points.]

Not for lack of courage, of course! But for too much intelligence.

voice; German

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

You're saying you're too clever to risk it?

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

Far too clever to risk it. I've been accused of confusing stupidity for bravery before, but with the creatures around here, I would need at least another set of eyes and fleet swordsmanship.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Tell me more about these 'creatures'.

[aladyknight.livejournal.com]

What do you want to know?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What are they? What danger do they pose?
