001 - VIDEO

[There are a few seconds of static, then an image flickers in. You can see a young man, dressed in simple black clothing that can't be identified as that of any particular era. When he speaks, it's with a very generic British accent.]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Oliver St. Oldcastle, and I'll be your host for the next, ohhhhh, who knows? Time is so meaningless here!

How are you liking your new home? Some of you have been here for so long.

[He smiles and waggles his fingers at the screen like the little asshat he is.]

Hello, George. Feeling less lonely now that I've brought you some friends?

[Back to serious business now.]

Frankly, I'm bored. All of you, sitting around doing nothing but wondering where you are. Or walking face-first into that Barrier out there.

[An indulgent smile directed at George. SORRY GEORGE.]

Let's make things a bit more interesting, shall we? First one to the finish line is in for a real treat.



[ooc: This is Mr. Higher Power, who will pop up from time to time to annoy you all when we feel the need for a plot. And there'll be a plot post up tomorrow so watch out!]
