video | excuse him he's getting drunk in germany

[justicecrusader]

A planet eater? My friends, you fought a planet eater? And won?!

[ The omnicom comes on to show a rather large old man. A big stupid grin on his face, as he holds a jug full of what one can only assume is beer. Whatever locale he was in, it was rather busy, and definitely loud. Which only made it that much more impressive that he could talk over it so clearly. ]

You almost had me concerned about this Chronoblivion threat, but clearly I was wrong to worry! [ He brings the jug up to his lips, and takes a big swig of it. Slamming it down on the counter, as his grin got wider. ] My friends, tell me about this Galactus! Fighting such a glorious foe must've been thrilling!

Ah, but where are my manners? I am Reinhardt Wilhelm, and I am pleased to make your acquaintance! [ He glances to the side then, seemingly spotting something. Before bringing his jug up into the air, and joyously yelling: ]

BRING ME ANOTHER!

[The change in Reinhardt's tone was obvious, so Alexander laughed to lighten the mood. He wasn't used to people being concerned for him, nor did he necessarily want anyone worried about him. But just because Alexander doesn't want to worry anyone doesn't mean he won't accidentally end up saying things that are rather worrying.]

No worries, friend. It was quite swift, especially considering I went in head first. Of all the ways I have died, it was certainly not the worst.

[Case in point.]

[justicecrusader]

[ Any other person would've consider that sort of description as cause to worry. But Reinhardt instead picked up on the jolly tone with which he talked about it, and decided that, you know what? Alexander seemed fine, so maybe Reinhardt was worrying over nothing. ]

One day, I will have to hear about all the other ways you have died, my friend. I imagine it makes for some fascinating tales.

[That elicited another laugh from Alexander.]

Perhaps they might. I can say that being eaten by a Mimic is among the more unpleasant ones, based solely on the stench of their breath.

[After the first couple of times it happened, Alexander developed a habit of poking every treasure chest he came across with his sword before even attempting to open it.]

But surely you must have some interesting stories of your own. What of your own world? I am always fascinated to learn of realms beyond my own.

[Perhaps it came from living in a rather crapsack world, but Alexander really was eager to learn about all the different worlds and realities the other Legionnaires came from, despite being a little too awkward to ask them about it most of the time.]

[justicecrusader]

[ Reinhardt had no idea what a Mimic was, but if he had to guess? It was probably surprising and horrifying in some way. Which somehow made the man laugh. ]

You will have to tell me what a Mimic is so I can fully appreciate this.

[ Stories from his world though? Boy did he have plenty. ]

On my world, we had to fight off a robot army, my friend! [ And he says this like it's the most exciting thing in the world. ] It was a coordinated attack no one saw coming, waves of mechanical monstrosities invading on all fronts. Taking down countries left and right, and churning out more soldiers than we could handle.

[ His voice got steadily lower and lower as he spoke, conveying the tension of the whole situation. The severity of the situation, the intensity of the fighting, the fact that the whole thing was honestly less of a story and more of a gruesome event. Then, with a whisper and a grin, he finally said: ]

It was exciting.
