[Video] Arrival

[A caped man appears on the video. His outfit is bold and bright, all gold and red and lit up from within. He speaks with a sense of urgency as if of an imminent danger.]

I want you all to listen to me. I am Mysterio, one of The Avengers.

There appears to have been a rip in time and space and I have found myself unexpectedly dropped into your world.

But I cannot stay here. I need to go back and save the Earth. This is imperative. Anyone, if you can hear me, show me the way or portal to leave this world. The sooner I can leave, the more lives can be saved.

Romani works for a skeleton, but Romani lives alone.

[How can she say this so casually? Because she hopes her sister will soon show up and see what an adult she is.]

... Romani... How old are you?

[There's something of a kind uncle or protective older brother in his manner now.]

Romani is ten years old.

[Practically an adult. Sort of. She just needs proof.]

I see.

[He wonders about a place that pulls children from their worlds and just lets them roam freely without supervision.]

You shouldn't have to work at your age.

Why not? Romani helped sis around the ranch all the time.

[Except there is a difference between helping and being a skeleton's only employee.]

You can help out. That's fine.

But you shouldn't have to work to survive. Somebody should be providing for you.

But if Romani doesn't work to provide for myself, who will?

[It's an odd concept to her. Everyone has to work, right?]

What about your... friend. The skeleton.

Pappy? He lets Romani eat some of what I harvest in his farm for him.

I think I'll have to have a talk with him.

Okay. Pappy is usually at the Guardian office in Fayren. Romani would show you the way, but I need to water the crops.

[She really has no idea how bad she made this look.]

[It certainly didn't sound good to him.]

Are you frightened of him?

[He's thinking she may be being forced into labor.]

No.
He's loud, [and a bad cook] ...but Romani isn't scared.

Hmm. Just remember that you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

Does he appreciate your work?

Romani knows...

Yes, Romani thinks so. But he was happy to have someone to help him. He was practically sparkling when I agreed.

So it's just you helping him out?

[Mysterio is so judging Papyrus right now.]

Romani believes that is so.

[Totally innocent, she's just helping as far as she knows.]

Well, I'll still have to speak with him about it.

Okay, Swallowtail.

[You just got nicknamed.]

Is there anything Romani can do for you about meeting him?

[He blinks at the name.]

Uh. Swallowtail?

Since I've only just arrived and I'm unfamiliar with the locations, you could tell him to contact me. If he doesn't then I will seek him out.

Okay, Romani will tell him.

And yes, Swallowtail! It's a good name for you, Romani thinks so. It's because you have that gold armor, and the way your cape flutters like a butterfly.

[Well. He won't argue with that. Might be a good alternate superhero name.]

Alright. As long as you tell him to contact Mysterio, you can call me whatever you like.

Okay. I'll go tell him now. See you again soon, Swallowtail.

[Don't worry. She'll make sure to refer to him by the actual name.]
