WHO: Morgan and YOU!
WHERE: The Network
WHEN: Late Feb
WHAT: Morgan introduces himself!
WARNINGS: None, he's a good boy.

[When the video feed opens, Morgan smiles and waves to the camera.]

Hello everyone! My name is Morgan, and I'm from the Black Order. I've just been assigned to Kaisou.

[Morgan adjusts his phone, and the camera pans around his room for a moment. There are an exceedingly large number of books strewn around the room, coupled with several chessboards that haven't been put away.]

If you guys can see this, I probably don't need to explain what the Black Order is, right? Yeah, that makes sense. I'm actually not a full agent yet--I'm still a trainee for a few months--so getting this assignment is a huge honor. I'm really excited to be in Kaisou!

[Morgan, you sweet, summer child.]

Oh yeah, what else goes into an introduction post, hobbies? I like board games a lot! My favorite is chess, but I'm open to any others, too.

That's about all I've got, but I'm looking forward to talking to everyone here! This seems like a really interesting place with a lot of interesting people.

Morgan?

[Holy crap, the Order actually sent someone younger than him?]

I'm surprised they sent someone still in training out here.

What the fuck, you're still a trainee! Get your ass to Blackbird's and get some fuckin' wards, kid, we got faeries incomin'.

[Jusis sees this post from Morgan, and then looks at his emails. Not even five minutes ago, the Order has told him that he's going to be Morgan's legal guardian while they're on assignment here. Too bad he's already taken an aspirin!

So, he's just going to act like he's known about this for a while instead of the truth!]

Hello, Morgan. I hope your trip was uneventful, if not pleasant. I'm Jusis Albarea, your legal guardian while you're here.

Does anyone want to explain to me why your dubious churchy overlords seem to think this place is a daycare?

[Good grief.]

Anyway, welcome, and please try to stand back when everything inevitably goes to hell again. If something bad happens to you, that lady will eat us.

[nosferatanking]

Me too! I thought for sure that I'd have to wait a couple more years.

[He is one of their younger members, after all, and he does have a certain track record.]

But, it's pretty neat, right? Out here, I'll actually be able to apply all the tactics I've read about!

[nosferatanking]

Faeries? Like the fae? That's awesome!

[Oh he's read so much about this.]

What's our job?

[nosferatanking]

Hey, I'm at least a teenager! And I'm only a few months away from my sixteenth birthday.

[Morgan you aren't helping.]

[switchaxe]

Not awesome, they like to kidnap kids like you.

[Morgan please.]

Dunno yet. Just get the fuckin' wards.

[nosferatanking]

[Hey, this is pretty neat! Morgan wasn't married to the idea of having a guardian, but it helps. Now he doesn't have to worry about food or anything.]

It's nice to meet you, Mr. Jusis. Thank you for taking care of me.

[nosferatanking]

Aww, c'mon! I'll be sixteen in May, that's practically an adult.

[MORGAN YOU ARE NOT HELPING.]

I wouldn't worry about Velvet. I'm pretty sure the whole eating people thing is a joke. Probably.

[nosferatanking]

Well, yeah, that's kind of scary, but it'll be fine! I have the rest of you here, after all.

[Please protect this child.]

Besides, I could get kidnapped at any time. This just makes good training. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[switchaxe]

Kid so help me God, you are gettin' your ass to Blackbird's and gettin' your fuckin' wards so we don't get a call next month tellin' us you got kidnapped by the fuckin' fae!

[thavnairian]

It's—it's not. I'd love to back you up on this since you seem smart and nice, but I can't. Especially here. You weren't raised in a place where you can adventure at sixteen or drink at taverns—you still have a couple more years of school, right? You didn't just tumble through a portal and get kidnapped by weirdos in black?

[Kids here are sixteen in a way that is definitely not the same as Amal getting thrown in jail at sixteen.

NO HESITATION ON THE SECOND PART:]

It's not.

[infezione]

[... He needs to find where Jusis is keeping the aspirin.]

Just be careful, okay? And stay with one of the rest of us as much as you can, especially in the coming month.

[nosferatanking]

Yeah, I got it. Don’t do anything that could get me hurt.

Where is this Blackbird place, anyway.

[switchaxe]

[Insert GPS locations for August's house here.]

Seriously, why send you here and not fuckin' Finland or some place sane.

[nosferatanking]

Yeah, that’s the thing though, I wasn’t, but I’m pretty sure the other me was. He was in a war and everything.

[Morgan frowns.]

But I guess you’re right. It would be pretty rude of me to worry all the adults here, huh?

[nosferatanking]

Well, if it helps, I told them I definitely didn’t want to go to Florida.

Besides, this is a learning experience, right?

[nosferatanking]

I gotcha. I’ll need you guys to show me the ropes anyway.

[switchaxe]

No, Finland's a learning experience. West Virginia is a learning experience. This is Florida with snow.

[nosferatanking]

Really? But everyone here seems so nice.

[thavnairian]

Sure, but that doesn't mean you have to grow up that fast a second time.

[MORGAN HAS BEEN HERE FOR FIVE MINUTES AND AMAL IS ALREADY DADDING SORRY]

You only get to be a kid once. You should enjoy the lack of responsibility and all the free food people give you. Especially the free food.

[nosferatanking]

I guess, yeah. [Said with characteristic teenage spunk.]

But I also don't want anyone to get hurt, y'know? There was a time awhile ago where I saw a bunch of people in danger, and I was able to save them. I want to keep doing that, if I can.

[But...]

Although, free food doesn't hurt! Where do I sign up?

[noblerise]

[Oh, God, and it's a teen who's basically a ray of sunshine. Good Lord.]

It's the least I could do. Feel free to call me Jusis, if you wish. Will you be joining Kaisou high school?

[Because if so, he's pulling an all-nighter to make sure Morgan's paperwork has been filed and filed correctly.]
