Hello my friends!

[That sure is a huge, booming voice echoing over the MID. A very cheerful one, at that. The face on the screen is grinning, too many teeth showing, one eye scarred.]

That is how this works, isn't it? It's like a phone. A very fancy phone. [Somehow that grin gets bigger.] I am Reinhardt Wilhelm. And new arrival on this ship.

If you have heard of me, hello! If not, ach, same to you as well. I am glad to be on this adventure, regardless of who is here.

[He wouldn't say that if he knew exactly who was here, but he's been pretty busy exploring. He's never been to space before, can you blame the big guy?]r

Come! Introduce yourselves. Do not be shy.

[grandpaladin]

I am a Crusader. A soldier for good, and noble things!

[avicula]

Define good and noble.

[grandpaladin]

Protecting the people. Righting wrongs. Fighting the good fight!

[Reinhardt those words only make sense to you. Elaborate, grandpa.]

[avicula]

And what's a wrong, in your view?

[grandpaladin]

Threatening children, for one.

[Something the Dragons had been involved in, when he'd first seen them.]

[avicula]

Anything else?

[grandpaladin]

Why is it you are so curious?

[avicula]

How many bad guys do you know that claim they're bad guys, and how many claim they have good reasons?

[grandpaladin]

That, I cannot answer.

I only know that I see wrongs in this world. I see people who should not suffer... and that are.

And I shall not be idle when this happens.

[avicula]

Optimistic and a big damn hero.

( now dutch just sounds amused. ) Are you any good in a fight?

[grandpaladin]

Hah! Emphasis on big!

[He's very amused. Then again, Reinhardt almost always is.]

But of course! I would be a terrible Crusader if I were not!

[avicula]

( dutch switches to video just so that he can see her roll her eyes. of course he'd emphasis big, of course.

that's it, that's her response. )

[grandpaladin]

[That's okay -- Reinhardt's response is to burst out laughing. Loud enough to rattle his MID.]

[avicula]

( dutch waits until he's stopped laughing. then: ) Good talk.

[grandpaladin]

And you as well! May you always have exciting battles, my friend!

[avicula]

Oh, hells. ( she refuses to sound fond. ) You, too.

[grandpaladin]

[Reinhardt's response is another laugh, before he calmly hangs up. THAT WAS A GOOD TALK, in his opinion.]
