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

[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?

I am from Bavaria.

How did you get here?

Bavaria? That is in Germany, correct?

As for how I got here, I have been summoned here twice, actually. Once in 1937, and now 1967, aru. Both times, I fell asleep and woke up here.

It is now part of Germany, yes...

Summoned? But it is only 1905... Are you using a time turner?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I do not know what a time turner is, but I can guess from the sound of it. Such things do not exist yet, at least, in the world where I come from.

The scientists, the ones who brought us here, are somehow able to bring in people from different worlds, as well as different time periods. That is why I come from a later date than you, aru.

...Although, I do remember how the world used to be in 1905. Unfortunately, China was not in the best of conditions at the time, so I do not have many found memories of that year.

You do not look old enough to remember if you are from such a year as 1967.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

That is because I am not human, aru.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What are you then?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I am the human embodiment of China. Yao Wang is just a name that the humans gave to me.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

China? Somebody earlier told me their name was Prussia...

How is that possible?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

You will find many of our kind walking around here, aru. The scientists must have a particular interest in our world if they have brought so many of us here.

As for how such a thing is possible... Even I cannot give a direct answer. I was simply born as China, on the land of that particular country, and as a small child instead of an infant, dressed in red and gold clothing.

I may not have parents, but I do have siblings--or rather---I used to, aru.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

What does aru mean?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

It is just something I say at the ends of my sentences sometimes. I do not say it if I speak my native tongue, though.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Ah. I do not know any Chinese.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

That is not a problem. I can speak English just fine.

[Lies.]

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

English is not my native language either.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Of course, you are German, as you mentioned before.

How did you end up here, anyway?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

No, I am Bavarian - which, yes, is currently part of Germany but I am sure it will be its own country again one day.

I have no idea. I just woke up here. Other people are saying something about 'scientists'.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Oh. [He won't say a thing about that, except--] I felt the same for my country and sure enough, by my time, it is its own independent country once again and is no longer chained by the treaties with the Europeans.

Yes, the scientists are the ones who brought us here, supposedly. The reason, I am not so sure of, but I have heard that they want us to revive this planet somehow, aru.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Revive? As in rebuild the ruined parts?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I believe so.

[He HOPES so... because he doesn't see how they are supposed to repopulate the planet, especially since most of the people here are men unless the scientists have a way of... he's going to stop thinking this now, it scares him.]

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

It would have been more polite of them to ask and not kidnap.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

I do not think most people would come if they were asked, especially if they were told about all the monsters that live here. Not to mention that they might already be doing something important back home, aru.

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I was interrupted myself. Maybe that means I was close...

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

To what?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

I had been searching for some powerful magical artifacts. Perhaps the muggle scientists found out and wanted to stop me.
