[ It's impossible to tell what's going on at first - the video feed seems to be whirling about rapidly, the audio picking up nothing but the sound of rushing air. The motion stops briefly as a hand darts into view, only to begin the process anew - anyone sharp enough to figure it out will realize the person on the other end is literally tossing their video phone up into the air repeatedly, catching it just to toss it again. It's after about thirty seconds of this that it finally stops entirely, giving a view of nothing but a pair of boots... boots which seem to have some weapon-like attachments.
A long, melodramatic sigh... ]
Well! This is a pain, isn't it.
[ A brief flip of the videophone reveals Mercury's face, wearing a relatively unfazed smirk. ]
Don't waste your breath explaining what's going on - I've done my homework. I guess all I have to say is that you can call me Mercury, and... let's all get along, mmkay?
[ There's a widening of his smirk into a grin, and it's hard to tell whether he's being mocking or genuine in his greeting. ]
--Ah, and if I'm not mistaken, I think I even sort of know some of you. Lucky me! Us trainees gotta stick together.

If you're training to be a huntress, you should learn to be less presumptuous.

If you're training to be a huntsman, you should learn to take advantage of the time lapse instead of complaining about it feeling like a waste of time.

excellentterrible taste clearly ]Bickering with me is how you take advantage of the opportunity?

It's... a work in progress.

There's still Ruby's vote and I really don't like you.
Re: video;
Look, maybe we just got off on the wrong foot. I made a bad joke, you took it poorly, it was a round of bad first impressions.
Mulligan?

Weiss has to think about this for a second. She's well-aware she can be a pain, but if that's his idea of a joke, it's incredibly obnoxious and he didn't exactly follow up with anything that endeared him to her more. And he isn't exactly apologizing. Even if she didn't want to cause a big deal and have people complaining that she's being too harsh, she didn't want to live with him even if only for a couple of days. ]
Sure, but only if you agree you're not living with us. They give you money to take care of yourself when you arrive here. Go spend it on a cheap hotel room.

Oh, that? I wasn't really seriously going to in the first place.
[ he might have ]
Don't tell me you were seriously getting worked up over it? I mean it would be super embarrassing for you if you were... I don't know. Trying to go around and spin the vote in your favor.
