[When the video comes on, the man seen isn't quite looking at it. It's immediate upon viewing that there is blood staining his shirt and bulletholes through his vest. Nonetheless, he looks quite alive.]I had no doubt that the streets of Paris were going to be transformed, but this is far beyond what I had imagined. Or is this not Paris after all?

Adstringendum, is it now? Has Purgatory renamed itself?

[grand_r]

What a lovely setting. They've certainly left this out of the Sunday masses.

[saintedsinner]

Paris? You're from this Paris? -=Rachel mentioned this Paris once.=-

[grand_r]

Of course! The city of the free--if Enjolras had gotten his way, at least.

[saintedsinner]

I don't know who that is. I know someone here mentioned Paris before.

[grand_r]

What a shame. Have all the others left me behind then as well?

You're from France! So romantic!

[The girl with the shining eyes... also has rabbit ears and whiskers currently.]

[He's raising an eyebrow at the rabbit ears.]

...Now I know that I must have had too much to drink.

[She reaches up and touches the ears.]

Ehe- This isn't really quite real. It'll be gone in a week. The Animus are just being weird again.

[grand_r]

Animus?

A Frenchman?

[She says this calmly enough, but France is no true ally either to her native Spain or currently in her world, England. And she is the one who taught Henry to baffle the French.]

[grand_r]

That I am, mademoiselle, as true as they come.

[marriedforlove]

[They will see if a Frenchman turns out to be true.]

Your name?

[grand_r]

Sébastien Grantaire, however, you may simply use my last name. In fact, I encourage it. I have not heard my Christian name said since--ah, childhood, if even that!

[bunny_flower]

... I beg your pardon ?

[grand_r]

Whyever would you do that?

[bunny_flower]

Because I am not sure I understood a single world you said, sir.

[grand_r]

You are like many, then.
