[When the video feed initializes, it's obvious the user is 1, outside at night in Genessia City, 2, is currently just outside the Bay as the end of Weiss' holographic message can be heard in the background and then it starts again, and 3, that the user, a dark-haired and blue-eyed gentleman in what looks to be his mid-forties is awkwardly holding the phone in one hand and the pamphlet that explains it's use in the other.
He speaks, at first to himself, with a cultured English accent, though there's a harshness to his consonants that suggests English is not his native language.]
Remarkable! [He smiles in satisfaction and adjusts his grip on the phone so it's oriented correctly for a video address before continuing.] Hello, everyone, or what I assume to be everyone paying attention at any rate. These devices are rather clever, aren't they? [He shakes his head as though chiding himself for beginning off-topic.] My apologies. This is all so fascinating! I should say preemptively that it is a pleasure to meet all of you. My name is Charles Rieben, and I have, quite obviously to most of you I'm sure, just awoken in this "Bay" so usefully marked on this map. I admit the whole situation seems a bit...off-kilter, but nothing seems life-threatening for the moment, so I believe we have time for a chat.
[He pauses here, looking a bit thoughtful.]
I do have one pressing matter to ask of you all, though. Where might one acquire an Almanac for this place?

Not just the Creator. Everyone has the ability to bring light. They just have to see it and I think that as me, not as the Creator. [She's suddenly reminded of Luther and his obsession of her title. Its a part of her she accepts but she doesn't like to flaunt it.]

No, not everyone. Some only have the ability to bring darkness. It's just in their nature.

[This is something that Airy will stand stubbornly against. Even those who feed off of people like Antonio and Luther, they brought light to the world in their own ways. It's a person's choice to bring darkness.]
After all, nature is all about balance right? Between light and dark. I think everyone is the same way, we all have both.

[He's recently learned his entire species can claim that origin.]
And then things start to fall apart.

Wouldn't that mean changing your nature? What stops you from changing it back? I still hold to my opinion that it's all about the choices we make.
[She's a little stubborn.]

[She shrugs.]
I don't think that really matters though. You can still do good, no matter your roots.

I guess. [She doesn't really agree but it doesn't seem worth arguing. She can't focus someone to see her point of view and she knows that he's lived and experienced much more than she has. At the very least she respects that.
Airy still can't believe that evil is born. It's simply created.]
