14th Match // Video - August 21st
[Krieg is in a much better mood than he has been in for months. So when the video feed opens up, his masked face is right up against the 'Gear, just like old times, as he excitedly announces:]
Today's my birthday!
Guess my age and win a prize!
And no cheating if you already know!
[Says the man wearing an almost entirely face-obscuring mask. No one said this was going to be easy!]

Definitely better than the wails of the damned. [Understatement of the year.] ... except one of the types of music I listen to is metal and the day I see a fucking Jigglypuff headbanging is the day that I know I've completely lost the last of my damn mind. [He isn't going to find metal here and he's pretty glad about that.]
But I'll keep hopin' for something bearably jazzy.
[Or for his brain to start helpfully tuning it all out. Which it does sometimes. But when he's trying to listen for small sounds he wants to throw something through a window.]
no subject
[He doesn't really pay much attention to the persistent ambient music, so he has no idea if something "bearably jazzy" is even something this world offers, but he figures the ol' gambling hole might provide, if anywhere does.]
How long've you been here?
[It's the first time Kreig's seen this guy, but that also doesn't mean a whole lot.]
no subject
[Hey, at least he'll get in shape with all the walking he's going to have to be doing. He knows he's impatient but he's got a low tolerance for irritation. ]
no subject
But Angel showed up a little while after.
[And it's a good thing she did, otherwise...who knows, maybe he'd still be hanging out on Route 29 with a tiny chicken, scaring the locals and the newbies.]
no subject
Who's Angel?
no subject
[He lights up like a thousand watts when he shares that information. His earlier enthusiasm about his birthday is nothing compared to his enthusiasm for Angel.]
I thought she was gone forever, but she came back!
no subject
[But that raises another concern.]
How long was she away before? No fucked up coma or anything?
no subject
Mnnnn...In April. [Naming the month she left is quicker than trying to recall the length of time. It had felt like an eternity.] No coma. No missing person. She disappeared just like all the rest and all I had left were her monsters. I thought I'd never see her again!
[His demeanor shifts drastically from happy to distraught as he explains. Just the simple act of recalling the despair he'd felt at the time is enough to affect his current mood....for a brief moment, anyway.]
But I thought wrong!
[And there's the 180 back to extreme good cheer again.]
Once someone leaves here they usually don't come back.
no subject
So I could end up leaving my partner.
[Or vice fucking versa. He will completely crack if he's stuck in a place isolating himself again because his stupid android-not-android partner evaporated. Fuck, does he hate that idea.]
Well, congratulations. Hope she's the first one you share your cake with, assuming you prefer having one.
no subject
[No way to sugarcoat it...even if he was diplomatic enough to know how to do it, which he isn't.]
Thanks! We're gonna have all the cake!
[He's 38 years old going on 9. Because what good is being an adult if you can't have all the cake?]
no subject
[At least this is convincing him that maybe this isn't the afterlife, but god, that thought was way fuckin' easier than figuring out what this really is.]
I didn't even celebrate my last birthday. Well, I got a cupcake and shared it with my dog. So make the most of it.
