[The video starts off bouncing around and very low to the ground, as if it's being carried by some sort of small animal. In the background, people can hear a male voice shouting, telling whatever is carrying the phone to stop.

The video climbs up a tree then turns to look down at the man chasing it.]

Look, I get it. I don't know where we are either.

If it was the Exarch again, I promise I'll give him a piece of my mind.

Now give me that phone!

Thancred?!

[why do nutkins stalk this man. she will never understand.]

[censorshipnutkin]

[It's going to take him a minute to respond because he's probably climbing the tree to get at his phone. Next time the video turns back on, he's just chilling in said tree.]

Oh, hi Scintilla.

[..........]

Wait, what are you doing here?

[sunforging]

Same's you, mate.

...Well, not exactly th' same. I ain't had no trouble with nutkins yet. But Raha's got nothin t'do with it--leastways not this time.

[censorshipnutkin]

[He shrugs.]

I think he was in my pocket when I arrived here. And once we were out of that weird maze, he decided to jump out and steal the phone and go running.

[A thoughtful look.]

So, not G'raha... then whom?

[hoshikiri]

[Network was really popping off as of late, wasn't it? Takame would have just let the shitposts be if not for the fact it was extremely familiar sounding.]

That voice... Thancred? Is that you?

[censorshipnutkin]

[He's still sitting in that tree.]

Yeah, it's me. Showed up here with the Nutkin a little while ago.

[hoshikiri]

[Sometimes a guy just climbs a tree, it be like that. Still, Takame went quiet for a moment. Someone from his realm arrived here, one of the Scions. He referenced the Exarch. So... he wondered.]

I believe I recognize where you are, but if I may ask first... you've only just arrived here, correct? And you recognize who I am?

... This was not Raha's doing, I assure. The reality is somewhat complicated.

[...]

Give me some time, and I shall come to you and explain. [He'd like to see the man in person.]

video | UN: Thorn ; Let me know if this needs changed!

[poisontippedcure]

[Something about Rose is feeling sentimental, and between that and the latest Zodiac post, she’s going to take a gamble and hope Thancred remembers her.]

I can assure you the Exarch is innocent this time.

[And after a beat.]

It’s good to see you well.

[censorshipnutkin]

[So many Warriors. What the actual (censored)]

That's what I'm gathering. Any idea what brought us here this time?

[poisontippedcure]

[Don’t blame her, she wouldn’t be the WoL at all if she could help it.]

Something extremely frustrating and all together too much trouble to deal with.

[Translation: No, she doesn’t.]

May I take this to mean you remember me?

(From what he can hear, there is a squirrel giving that poor man on the other side a lot of trouble. Oh dear, he knows squirrels can be pain to deal with but now it extends to phone theft? Jamie couldn’t help but check if Thancred could use some help right about now, even if he has to deal with school, internship search and selkie curses.)

Um, is that small small animal a friend of yours? Do you need help in retrieving your phone from said small animal?

[censorshipnutkin]

Oh no, we're fine now.

The nutkin normally travels with me, and this is no different. He just wasn't happy to find that we were in another different world.

This has... happened before.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh, so he is pretty stressed out from being flung into this world? And this isn’t the first time that it has happened to you and the nutkin? Oh gee sorry to hear about it. I would have felt the same way too if I was thrown into another world without warning.

[adversus]

Are you... Chasing after a squirrel, kiddo? You need some help over there?

[censorshipnutkin]

It's actually a nutkin... but you could call it a squirrel, I guess.

[He laughs]

He wasn't happy to be in another new world, I think.

[adversus]

A nutkin? Never heard of it, but it's pretty cute. Though, can't blame the little guy for being unhappy.

[She's pressing her face against the glass of her camera, wanting to get a better look at the nutkin. It's a little awkward, but she was still a bit of a kid at heart.]

You look a bit insane talking to that little guy, but that's alright. We all need someone to talk to.

[A pause]

But seriously, do you need some help getting him down? I'm pretty good at climbing.

voice: un: dabi

[dabi]

[ thancred gets a voice call that starts with a guy laughing to kill himself, honestly. a deep, almost volcanic tone that's down in the earth, and once he gets a handle on himself... ]

Hey, maybe your pet wants their own phone.

Maybe he wants to use snapchat. I'd say let'm.

[censorshipnutkin]

[STOP BEING HOT YOU BURNT CHICKEN NUGGET.]

Maybe. Things almost as big as he is though.

[Pause.]

What's Snapchat?

[dabi]

[ not on his fucking life, that's like 60% of his personality ]

Don't people like body pillows and life-sized shit like that
Maybe it's the same shit. Let him live a dream.

...

You don't got snap?
It's like a photo and story sharing app.
But the photos only last ten seconds.
Can't save 'em.

[thavnairian]

[Wait wait wait. It's Thancred, and he's dressed in a familiar way. That means... he's not a reincarnation like the rest?

Holy shit. Amal brightens considerably.]

Thancred? Thancred! Seven hells! Is that you?!

[SAY THE LINE THANCRED]

It's been forever!

[censorshipnutkin]

[Nope bud, this is the genuine home-team Thancred.]

Yeah, this is Thancred.

[There you go~!]

Amal, it's good to see you... but I'm sure I saw you a little while ago.

[thavnairian]

[RAUCOUS IMAGINARY APPLAUSE]

Haha, for me? It's been way longer... over a year.

Let me back up. So, about two years ago, I fell arse over end through a portal and ended up here. I got caught up in trying to save the world, as you do. At some point I fell asleep for a month, and it was a lot like when you were taken to the First. Soul in one place, body in another, save for no ill effects and no one seemed to notice.

When I woke up I had all the scars I earned from fighting Zenos, so it definitely happened. But I was here the whole time. It's definitely a bit odd. Too much magical weirdness for me to comprehend, honestly.

Has anyone explained the reincarnation bit yet?

[crystallinememories]

[why does everyone blame him--oh wait he knows why.]

I assure you it was not me. It is good to see you, however, Thancred.

Re: video

[censorshipnutkin]

[Do you need to ask that question? really? REEEEEALLLLYYYY]

That's good to know, although that does still leave the question of who brought me here and why. Do you know the answer to that?

Re: video

[crystallinememories]

[LOOK TECHNICALLY RAHA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING--]

Yes and no... it is, unfortunately, quite complicated. [Especially given circumstances of people like... well, him.] The short version is that there something called the Spirit Realm that connects all worlds, and someone essentially ripped a hole in it that has since been bringing in people from other worlds to here.
