[ 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.

Ooooh, bossy! Take it easy, our little Ice Queen already vetoed the idea. Strongly, I might add. It's almost as if she doesn't like me! Can you imagine that?

[he groaned at him.]

Your arrogant, but at least I know you're not stupid. It's exactly why I've been forced to hold back with everyone here, we're clearly outnumbered.

[no white fang love, man.]

Yeah, no kidding. It's a Goody-Two-Shoes parade everywhere I look. Kind of makes me want to gag a little.

Hopefully they'll see me as a lost cause by then. A good guy, technically, but a totally unapproachable jerk at the same time.

It's so hard being me some days.
