[The video feed clicks on, and at first, you might mistake the person on screen to be a dirty mop, what with the long messy strands of brown hair hanging down from his head. But on second glance, no, there's a face underneath all that, and it doesn't look that happy.]

W-why am I here? Again?! I didn't ask anybody to be here, this is not what I wanted, this is really, really, not good at all!!!

[And he murmurs and shakes his head, looking down at the ground as it he is wishing it could open up and swallow him right then and there.]

...

Yeah. Um. So...my name's Sam. Sam Erstwhile. I was here before, and then I was back home...and I guess I'm back here again. I don't know. So, really, you don't need to tell me about the whole Persona thing, I know about it. I still don't understand why in the world they would choose me to be here again...I'm no one special. Really, I'm not.

[A sigh.]

Erm, so has anything changed recently that I need to know about? Same old, same old? No crazy other-world field trips or the like? I don't think I could deal with another other-world field trip, the last one was horrible...

[HEY LOOK it's your favorite minty haired devil.]

No more field trips. Just the usual kind of crazy. Welcome back!

Hmph. Why would the gods here choose a sniveling coward like you?

If they'll pick just anyone then there's no reason for me to be here.

[Wow. Okay what is this kid's problem?]

No need to get so bent out of shape. Sit down before you trip over yourself.

[The most helpful. It is Lanister.]

Again? You've been here before...?

[This is less a question than it is an echoing of Sam's words. The young boy on the screen wears an expression of sympathy.]

I'm sorry you don't want to be here. I, um. I think I know a little bit about how you feel. If it helps, though... I think being here already means you're plenty special.

...I don't think I'll be very helpful to you since I just got here, but... is it alright if I ask you a few questions?

[angryyoungvamp]

Great. So this thing goes back and forth on whether to even keep us here. That'll be good to know if I ever actually leave.

Anyway, uh. Call me Maugris. Sorry you got dragged in here again, Sam.
