001. Video.
[The 'Gear had been an interesting thing to figure out - an amusing little toy, really; while calling it a puzzle would have been giving it entirely too much credit, Descole had enjoyed himself with it for a while. The afternoon had been spent watching the others post to the network; apparently he wasn't the only one that had randomly found himself stuck here. Really, there had been at least one other that day posting to say that they had found themselves in the same predicament.
How odd.
Tonight, his own feed comes alive, focusing in on a dimly-lit room and just enough of a figure to indicate that there's a person sitting in that chair over there, though he's leaning back and the camera is situated at an angle in relation to the person, keeping his face out of view of the camera. There doesn't appear to be too many distinguishing points about the individual, as he appears to be draped in a long black cape of some sort, though toward the upper corner of the frame, there's an obvious fluffy shock of white among all the dark folds of fabric, and the edges of his sleeves are ruffled and white, pale against what's visible of his hands where they're folded against what appears to be a desk or table of some sort.
All part of the act, of course; keep the audience guessing.
When he speaks, his voice is cordial, but almost stiffly formal - not quite rehearsed, but he's clearly been thinking about what to say for some time.]
Assuming this message manages to reach anyone, if someone would do me the favor of actually obliging me and letting me know where I am, that would be appreciated - there was a red-haired woman in here earlier claiming that she was doing exactly that, but unfortunately, she didn't say anything terribly useful.
[He leans forward a bit, the slightest hint of a smirk edging into the frame above that white boa.]
And if anyone just happens to know where my swords have gone...really, if you know what's in your best interests you'll return them as quickly as possible. I can't say there won't be any hard feelings, but I'm sure we can work something out.

You could say I have a bit of a...fascination with the arts in general; at least some familiarity with the Bard's work is almost mandatory.
[Video.]
Ah, do you?
My name is Gorthan. I am a man of science, but I devote myself to the study of literature as well. And you are...?
[Video.]
However! For now you can have a flick of his hand at the camera for your effort, the gesture flourished and flamboyant.]
Jean Descole; a patron of the arts, surely, but at my core I've dedicated myself to the noble pursuit of scientific study.
It seems we have a fair amount in common, Gorthan.
[Video.]
So it seems, indeed. How should I call you, I wonder...?
... By the way, there is really no need for such coyness.
[Meaning he'd like to see his face.]
[Video.]
But if you insist.
[He actually has no qualms about adjusting the view of the camera; there's going to be a lot of white obscuring the camera while he does so, given the frills at his wrists, but once he pulls back again the focus has been shifted to a bit more of a natural angle.
...it's probably going to be immediately obvious why he has no issue with this whatsoever, given that he still has the fitted white mask obscuring his eyes, as well as that
oh god shut up it's completely stylish okayrather...unusual hat on, ensuring that the natural color of his hair can't be seen.][Video.]
... And once he sees what Descole's "face" looks like... that gets a laugh from him. A hearty, genuine one, the sound rather loud. It stops soon, however.]
Concealing your own identity, and concealing that concealment in turn. I see.
Please realize that such a thing does not speak especially well of your honesty, Descole.
[Video.]
And I don't recall asking you to believe anything I say - just suspend disbelief as far as you're willing.
[Video.]
[At which he keeps his eyes closed for a moment. It looks like he's wearing black makeup over his eyelids.]
But no matter. I trust you were given a creature with which to begin the journey that is expected of you...?
[Video.]
I've found myself in possession of two of them, yes. Both seem rather useless for now, but I suppose time will tell eventually, won't it?
