Who: Leto + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: N/A
When:

[ The video flickers on to Leto sitting on his bed, kicking his legs briefly. He grins when the video starts recording, pushing himself onto his feet. He tilts his head, that odd bird-like movement he often exhibits. ]

I have heard some interesting things of late, so I thought I'd put the question to you all. When you fall in love, can you only love one person? Can you fall in love with multiple people? Is love something you find yourself stopping after just one?

Well yeah! I've seen lots of people who like that stuff, but... Not with someone like me, hehe.

Perhaps you come off a little strong?

Well, I can lift some pretty heavy stuff...

Not that kind of strength.

[ He rubs his chin. ] You want to be loved. You want your loneliness to go away. But to keep someone around, you need to give back to them as well.

I want to! [ Really he does! It's just that with his being a vampire and all, it usually doesn't go that...well. Back home, anyway. Here it's a little different. ]

People just don't like me is all.

[ He gives him a pointed look. ]

That's not quite true here, is it?

No... It's amazing! I even made my very first friend here... That was never gonna happen back home!

Hmm. I wonder.

[ But it is best not to prod at that possibility. ]

[ Probably...yes. But he at least looks in better spirits. ]

I love being here...everything's way different.

The difference comes from the mingling of various cultures, I imagine.

You think so? [ Because were he comes from all cultures pretty much hate vampires. ]

I know so. It is one of my abilities.

Abilities??

Powers. Whatever you call it.

Are you a wizard??

Ah, no. My powers do not come from magic. It is something I was born with.

[ Science magic, more like. ]

...Like Kitty? [ She's a mutant, born with abilities which allowed her to pass through slid matter. Is it like that, he wonders? ]

No. She's a mutant. I'm more of a . . . genetic anomaly.

...What's genetic?

It means I inherited it from my father. So I am something old, but also something new.

So your...dad had powers too?

He did. My father could see the future and so can I.

[ Which is the easiest version of events. ]

[ And the easiest for him to understand, so it's win-win. ]

Then can you see if I fall in love??

[ He frowns lightly. ]

I can see the possibility of you falling in love, yes.

[ And that comment has Sascha yanking his communicator closer to his face despite how it hurts his eyes. ]

With who???
