Mal sehen, ob ich mich erinnere.... Otacon! I have for you an update on what the shift is for me, during Iris.

[The man ducks his head just a touch, and the base of what appear to be very large, very imposing antlers are visible for a moment. Apparently it would take a bit of effort to actually display the entire rack, just judging by the sheer girth of the base of those antlers. Less visible, but still obviously there? The base of a pair of fluffy, off white colored lop ears.]

I would show you in person, if you like, but I would need eh... A little bit of time to get ready. Leaving the apartment has become... a bit more complicated than usual. I am not clear on the anatomy of antlers, I do not think you can just file them down to fit through doors.

... Ah, with complicated in mind! Gabriel, I have a favor I would like to ask of you! I will pay you back, I have no button up shirts. Would you be able to get one or... three for me? I did not come prepared for this, I fear.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Baptiste. Any friend of Angela's is a friend of mine! And she's teaching you? Wunderbar! You'll never find a better mentor, I'm excited for you.

[extalon]

It's an honor to meet a legendary soldier like you too, Sir. [He's only ever seen the man in posters. He looks much cooler in person or well, video.]

I completely agree. [He doesn't believe there is anyone here from their world that has even half of the knowledge that she has when it comes to the human body. Suck it, Moira.] If she could only impart a mere fraction of her medical knowledge to me, I'd be grateful.

[hammernhasslehoff]

[There's a laugh, bright, loud and very proud]

Vielen Dank! Angela clearly has an eye for friends, you're very charming! I'm sure she'll give you far more than just a fraction, she has always been a generous sort!

Bitte, you will need a break every now and again from those lessons, you're welcome to visit me for a drink.

[extalon]

From what I have seen of her so far, I have little doubt of that.

Angela has mentioned something similar to me. The only way we are drinking together is if I can buy the first two rounds. I'd also love to hear any stories. [War stories or just general stories from everyone's time together.]

Anything involving Jack Morrison would be especially appreciated. He's always been someone that I've idolized. [He loved the rest of Overwatch too, but Jack always seemed to display the skill with a gun and determination that Baptiste admired.]

[hammernhasslehoff]

If you insist, but the rest will be on me!

[Are you ready to learn the art of stealth buying, Baptiste?]

Ah... I would be honored to tell stories of Commander Morrison, I have so many of them. It's been a long time since I've had a new audience for them, you have picked a fine hero to admire.

[extalon]

We are in agreement then. Of all the places I have learned of here, I haven't looked into a good bar yet.

[But how many bad ones could there really be?]

I believe all of you are heroes to be admired. But he was the one I gravitated to the most.

[hammernhasslehoff]

Don't worry, I am an expert at finding the best bars. I was planning on looking tonight but eh-

[There's a clunk as he moves his head, the antlers clattering against some fixture he didn't immediately see]

Verdammt, if I am this clumsy in my own home, I cannot imagine what I would do to a bar.

Anything you would like to hear of Jack, I will speak of. More should remember him well, I believe.

[extalon]

[Baptiste chuckles at the clattering of antlers.]

It takes some getting used to, does it not? [Baptiste is an Iris with lop-eared bunny ears. At least at the moment, so he doesn't have to deal with the antler thing.]

Any story would be fine. The ones I have heard are hyperbole, I'm sure, from the kids that roamed my neighborhood. Like how Jack Morrison took out a room of enemy combats with a single knife or how he brought down four drop ships using only two bullets.

[hammernhasslehoff]

At this rate I might have to find a way to lift the ceiling...

[Were their any apartments here with a higher ceiling? He hopes so, literally raising the roof was a bit ambitious.]

Ha! He was an impressive man, but that is a bit extraordinary, even for him! Still, no fantasy tale of him could compare with the real story. I think you will find the truth to be far more entertaining.

As soon as I can escape from my house, I'll regale you! Unless you do not mind stopping by now, of course.

[extalon]

I can stop by now if you are finding it too difficult at the moment. [He says this with a slight chuckle.]

My schedule is pretty free at the moment.
