blackholedson[Hello hello! This morning is looking to be a chilly one, if the view of New Bark Town over this particular feed is any indication; the ground is covered in a crisp blanket of white, the scenery is undisturbed, and the...uh, well, the feed is suddenly winging upward to shoot you a lovely and vaguely motion-sickness-inducing view of the sky. There's a soft, childish noise of fascination with it before the view shifts again - when it finally focuses on something that isn't the trees or the passing clouds, its camera appears to have settled on a young boy. He looks to be around the age of ten, with messy black hair and dark eyes that seem to be glittering with a violet tint to them.
...he also looks like he's freezing, because what on earth is being dressed properly for this weather. Seems he didn't get the memo that hey, it's cold outside, a coat is probably a good idea.
However! He's smiling despite the cold, offering the brightest 8D expression that a young boy can give through that much shivering.]
Ah, so is this how this works? Um...hello! My name is Selim Bradley, and it seems that I'm...well, a bit lost...
[His gaze shifts a bit, suddenly downcast, and he frowns, thinking.]
I woke up in a strange house, you see, with a woman claiming to be my mother - but I'd never seen her before in my life! My real mother is probably worried sick; she and Father warned me that this might happen one day. My father is a very important person; there was always the fear that I would be kidnapped in the night. So it's really urgent that I get back to them right away!
I'm sure my father would be willing to offer you some sort of reward for helping sort this out - if anyone can tell me how to get in contact with Fuhrer King Bradley, I need to know right away.
Tha-
[He jumps suddenly and stops short, having been interrupted by a godawful screech from somewhere behind him; a Misdreavus is visible behind him when he turns his body to look at it. When he returns to the device, his expression is...more than a little sheepish.]
Thank you for listening, and if anyone knows where I can, um, return this pet that was given to me - wait, is that rude? Because I don't mean to be rude! I just...don't...really want it, and that strange man in town refuses to take it back, he just welcomes me to the world of, um, po-kay-mons again.
...yes, I think that's all. Thanks again!

The only other people he's seen so far have been "Mom" and this...professor person; other than that, Misdreavus won't talk. His voice is cold, his tone nowhere near befitting of a child his age.]
Do you want to explain?
[It really isn't your place to be condescending, Envy. Older Brother here will make sure you know that.]

Date: 2011-12-17 05:08 am (UTC)Human children shouldn't ask questions so rudely if they want answers.
[He's fairly sure he remembers Lust mentioning this to him, when they'd discussed their alternate worlds, but that had been months ago; it certainly hadn't been the first thing he'd thought of when he turned on the video. But after that tone…he wants the admission, the confirmation from Selim himself before he'll be certain.]
[And what better way to get that than to make him angry? Envy's quite secure in his position as eldest in his own world, he'll be as condescending as he likes.]

Date: 2011-12-17 05:26 am (UTC)At the same time, Selim isn't angry when he responds. After all, "wrath" doesn't exist in him. No, his tone is rather arrogant, but not truly agitated.
Clearly, you just need to be taught a few lessons. He'll handle that eventually. Maybe not now. But soon.]
You're right. Human children shouldn't.

no subject
