001 ✠ P I K E ✠ video

[ The video cuts on and the screen is filled with the face of a young man, or at least part of a one. Some of it is obscured by a sweep of dark hair, other parts of it are painted red by a bloom of blood across his cheek and eyelid, up into his hairline. The impression is almost like the ring of an impact crater, only the crater is missing, leaving behind only the splash; the overall shape is smeared and made imperfect by water (is it rain? dregs from the fountain?) that drips from his hair and beads on his skin. His eyes (or eye, the other's cut off by the edge of the picture) is red rimmed and raw, its lashes stuck together and damp.

The picture shakes but there is a notable lack of breath or noise whatsoever beyond the scrape of something against gravel or cobblestone. When he speaks, the young man's voice is low and English and trembling with some sort of emotion. It's hard to tell which, though. ]

Not hell. Not eternity.

[ Those of you who once knew Nigel Colbie should recognize the voice, though his tone is markedly different. ]

What then.

The City.

There's a guide, if you're interested.

[ It helped her. Kind of. Except it's all RIDICULOUS. Whatever. ]

The world is full of cities.

[ Unhelpful, but being shot in the face does that to a guy. ]

True. But this one is actually called City, The City, technically.

[ Unfazed by his unhelpfulness ....in that she was incredulous just a day or so ago, so not a big leap there nope. ]

[ TRANSFERRED TO NIGEL'S NETWORK DEVICE.

Tussah I am too lazy to get one of the however many links. YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.... ]

Hello.

[ Oh, but how she says his name. ]

And who're you meant to be. Some sort of psychopomp?

Nothing so posthumous.

Nigel! My goodness, what happened?

What's happened-- [ His voice trails off. ] What's happened is the sky opened up-- [ And again. ] But the world swallowed me.

[ A long, drawn out pause. ]

Why do you know my name?

Because I'm--

...You don't remember me?
