[ The feed opens up with a male rubbing his temples gently, probably not noticing that he's finally connected to the network. This really is a mess and he's trying to get his thoughts straightened out. He opens his eyes and blinks, looking at the screen with his head tilted a bit, his annoyed expression turning into a curios one. ]

... Oh, it's on-- G-Good day. Since we're all in the same mess, I figured introductions are in order. My name is Chrom, Exalt of the Halidom of Ylisse. I'm currently in Highcrest right now. I hope we can all get along and find a way back home.

[ He smiles, though it doesn't last too long. ]

Now, on to more personal matters. If there's anyone else from Ylisse here, I'd like a reply. I know Robin has made a message, but I'd feel better if you reported to me as well. [ Mainly because people won't accuse Chrom of being fake. Sorry, bro. ] We can try and make some sense of our current situation. And figure out this double Robin situation as well...

[ He gives a small smile and a nod before the feed ends, for now. ]

It's a little jarring of a switch. But I'll try to keep that in mind, milo- er, Chrom. [She smiles.] It's certainly easier to say, at least.

What kind of place is Ylisse?

[googlekrom]

[ What kind of place is Ylisse? He thinks for a moment, trying to find the right words to describe it. Chrom is silent for a minute before finally speaking up. ]

Ylisse is a strong nation. I like to think we're a rather peaceful one as well. [ Until recently, after all. Which is why he needs to get home soon. The smile from his lips fade. ] She's going through a lot now, unfortunately.

[ But he can't panic. After all, he needed to remain calm. ]

[sunbloom]

It sounds like a nice place... though you seem to have problems.

[Chrom looks like he's a ruler from a medieval era... maybe...]

Is there some kind of war back home?

[googlekrom]

There is.

[ He can't go into much detail, maybe because he doesn't want to. ]

[sunbloom]

That... explains a lot. I'm so sorry... I can only wish you the best of luck. If there were some way I could help, I would, but I don't think that's possible.

...um, I'm being depressing. Sorry. Have you found anyone from Ylisse here, at least?

[googlekrom]

Thank you. It's alright, please don't feel sorry. We'll make it back home and everything will be alright. [ He truly believes that. As for the next question, he thinks for a minute. ]

Yes. A few of us are here. Some of my family is here. [ But not his daughter. He frowns, pretty much worried about her. ]

[sunbloom]

Yes, I can believe that. Best of luck to you, once you return.

[She ponders for a moment.] This seems like the most efficient way to find them, at least; we all were issued these phones, so it's easier than searching on foot. I hope you can find the rest of your family. I'm still searching for a few people, myself.

[googlekrom]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I've never seen anything like these... "Phones" before. Do they exist in your world? [ lol technology ] Ah? Are you searching for friends as well?

[sunbloom]

They do, yes. [Right, medieval. She'd forgotten.] They're a communication device to talk to people who are far away instantly. These are a little more advanced than normal, though; the ones that send a picture like this are fairly modern.

I'm looking for a few people, yes. I... don't particularly want to be here alone, honestly. I'm hopeful I'll find them, though.

[googlekrom]

I see. That does soud pretty handy. [ You could get messages in an instant father than wait days to hear back from someone. Technology sure has changed from his time. Well, at least his descendants had something to look forward to. ]

Even so, you're not alone. It's good to form some new bonds with people. But I hope you do find your friends.
