1st Chapter [Voice/possible Action] Forward Dated to May 8
[It was raining, something that rarely happened in the arid region of the Far East on his homeworld. It was raining when he pulled himself up out of the mud three days earlier with a soreness in his shoulders and a baffling block of missing time that he could not explain. With his immortal body, sleep was optional and even unnecessary--the last time he slept was over seven years ago, just before the fall of the Spiral King and his army.
The black out bothered him more than the wings, but his inherent pride as a warrior and a beastman kept him from more than a cursory question here or there over the journals. Soaked to the bone and thoroughly irritable about the information he absorbed via the strange journal that arrived with him, Viral finally emerges from the silence he had built up around himself.
The video feed opens to the beastman sitting in relative comfort in a shabby fort he built for himself amongst the fallen branches from the winter. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time he had broken his needless exile, as the new feather pants had been traded out for his comfortable travelling gear, including a very ragged brown cloak and an equally worn red scarf. Though dry for the moment, his hair was still tangled and not fully cleared of the mud.
Clearly his isolation was more important than finding an apartment. Though, if pressed, he would explain his thoughts on that manner.]
[Very Broken Filter away from all possible members of Team Dai-Gurren]
Luceti. I am Viral. [Pronounced like the word 'virile.' There's a subtle pause, either from the inherent awkwardness of this or his noticing that the filter is terribly broken.] If any of you here have ever encountered someone by the name of Simon [pronounced 'see-mon.'], from a place called Jeeha Village, who also calls himself 'the digger' and is currently ranked at High Commander in our world, if you have met his brother Kamina or any of their friends in Team Gurren or Team Dai-Gurren, I will not ask you to disregard anything you may have heard about me. Whatever they said is likely true.
[From a certain perspective and point of view.] I only ask that you keep an open mind.
Also, is there someone on this network who can explain why the animals are talking? Does the rain normally last for this long? [Another beat.] I've been here for a few days now, so I understand enough, but this climate is unfamiliar.
[With that he ends the feed, not wanting to say much more. Though tempted to just shut the journal, his questions about the local fauna and climate are pressing enough to be a bother. He's there, in the woods toward the west. Feel free to find him.]

[Luke shrugs. Peace wasn't something that was always guaranteed]
Do you have any hobbies? I...regrettably must say that Luceti is lacking in the war department.
[Voice]
[He doesn't want to have to explain more--it would reveal more than he wants to at this early point.]
...Unfortunately, combat is all I really know.
[Voice]
Do you really not know how to do anything more than fight? What...sort of role to do you play on a battlefield?
[Voice]
I was a Vice Commander in our military, with experience both in the field and on the bridge. I have commanded entire vessels, but largely I operated alone.
[Voice]
[He laughs]
I've commanded my fair share of starships in my time, Vice Commander.
[Voice]
[There's a heavy pause for a moment.]
...I'm not Vice Commander any more. The military I was a part of dissolved seven years ago.

What sort of government?

[Voice]
[Humans, most like]
Its probably better than the government I helped overthrow.

[You weren't obvious...he's just good at reading into stuff]

[Voice]
How long have you been here? What've you thought so far?
[Voice]
I've only been here for three days now. This place...is very strange. That's not just the climate either, but the people. On my first day, I met this girl that called herself an 'earthbender,' and met a young man over the network who comes from a place with 'super heroes.'
The actual location isn't a problem, but the residents are all ready confusing.
[Voice]
How are the residents confusing you? Perhaps I can shed some light on them, as I've been here for some time.
[Voice]
[And, as a beastman and an immortal, he will never fully understand why humans do what they do.]
