[ The locket is floating.

It’s the only explanation for the view that the item gives – a young man, out on the walls of one of the castles, the moon curved behind him. His arms are crossed in front of him, not touching the device as it records. Black eyes (all black, like the depths of the sea) regard it for a moment and then one hand moves, gestures at the locket. ]

Well, well.

[ His head tilts, and while his lips don’t turn up, one may get the feeling that he’s smirking. ]

I must say, this is an interesting turn of events. One that even I did not see coming.

[ His voice is almost monotonous, but there is something like music in it – like whale song. ]

To be pulled away to the Drabwurld, asked to take part in this war. I wonder if they truly know what they are doing. [ His hand returns, head moving back so that he can look straight at the camera. ]

I hear there was a battle. One should expect such things, in war. I suppose I should ask about it. [ He doesn’t. Instead- ]

Tell me, Shardholders, something... interesting.

A pity. I would have liked to hear of it.

[ He knows that frustration, has heard it from the mouths of thousands of men and women. And for the first time, he feels it, too. ]

If I do, I shall seek you out. [ A dangerous thing, to be sought by him -- but his interest is captured, now. ]

The Outsider, the Leviathan, and many others -- what I am called seems to depend on the person speaking of me.

[ Damn it, The Outsider is so supervillain-y it hurts. Damnit kaldur no why this was a bad idea. Still, a little late for that... ]

I am Kaldur'ahm, of Shayeris, one of many cities underwater in my home, where we of the oceans dwell.

If you wish to contact me, that is the name to find me by.

[ There is a pause. ]

You sought something interesting. This has been an interesting meeting for me; I hope I was able to provide you something of similar nature. [ He isn't exactly going to say it was a pleasure to meet you because he's really beginning to think it isn't. ]

I will remember it.

[ Actually, he will remember this whole conversation in a terrifying amount of detail. That's how he rolls.

At least he can't talk to people in their dreams anymore. ]

You did, Kaldur'ahm. Consider me... fascinated.

[ Not particularly reassuring that. ]

Then I am glad to have held your attention for this short time.

[ yeah, he's done courting crazy people now, next time he just won't answer. ]
