…-elieve it? Three years…

[Deckard is sitting close to his comm drone, leaned forward. He's not looking at the camera, though. Is he even aware he's being recorded? Apparently not, seems he's just talking to the drone itself (which apparently thought he /did/ want to broadcast what he was saying and so has helpfully taken the initiative to do so – isn't that nice of it?). He shakes his head as he sits back.]

That means it's been three and a half since Yuuta and I first met. Hmm. I was only in service back home for nine months. I've been in service in Haven – one Haven or another – for about five times that now. [His gaze drops away from the drone, voice soft.] I miss him. Yuuta. I hope he and the others are all right. I hope . . . McCrane's all right. He must have made it back home. He . . . he has to have.

[A soft tone chimes just then, startling Deckard. He looks back up at the drone. It chimes again, adding a low twitter. Deckard stands with a small grin and places a hand on the drone.]

Fuel time, got it. Thank you.

[He steps away, passing out of camera view. A moment later, the feed shuts off.]

[Oh wow, that's sort of secondhand-embarrassing.]

Uh.. sorry to hear about your friends.

Mhn? Oh, ah . . . thank you.

I don't think we've met. My name is Deckard, currently with the Haven police force. Pleased to meet you.

Raiden.

Haven police, huh? You guys see a lot of action?

[thankyou4myheart]

Thankfully, no. Minor disputes and such for the most part. Civic service such as helping people with projects if needed. But should anything major happen as did a few months ago, there's an organized force to help deal with it, along with anyone else who chooses to fight and defend themselves and others.

Nice and quiet, huh? Must be nice.

What happened a few months ago?

[Well if this place is disaster-prone, might be a good idea to get in on the call list. Warned is better than not.]

[thankyou4myheart]

[Much better, yes.]

You've been told about the Miasma and its suspected origin? There was an individual who tapped into that energy, aiming to harness the power to set himself up as ruler of this world.

As you can imagine, everyone objected.

[He's…kind of oversimplifying things. He's hesitant to go into too much detail – though he will if asked – knowing it will only bring up all the fears and rage over what was done to his "brother," and many others, as a part of all that.]</>
