[The video clicks on, showing an uncertain eye and not much else, because the video is held much too close. The camera flips and jostles a few times, before it's held back enough to see a young boy. He looks much younger than he really is, rake thin in a very unhealthy way, but still more than skin and bones. He's pale, and he's scared. When he speaks, it's all in German; which, usefully, is the only language he knows.] H-hallo? [Tosh has already assured him that Herr Doktor is not around and there won't be any tests of any kind today but...he isn't entirely convinced and is more than a little nervous to direct more attention to himself. So he's hesitant, but tentatively giving into some curiosity?] Is this one of the SS buildings? [He pans the camera around the room quickly; partially visible, as he tries to gesture with his other hand, is the silver helmet he holds.] I have never been here before. [And he heads to a couch, looking uncomfortable, but...maybe a little pleased. This is more comfort than he's known in - well, ever. He manages a little smile, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, and falters at the edges.] It's very nice. Thank you for letting me stay here. [His attention drops back to the helmet, now in his lap, and he holds it up for the camera after a moment - the look on his face says he probably shouldn't play with it and he's sorry, but he's drawn to it nonetheless.] Does this belong to someone? (OOC: And tags will come from einzweidrei because I'm a bad person. :c Blanket content warning, again, for possibly in depth discussion of the Holocaust.]

[It sounds strange, but he can understand it, so he doesn't question it.]

A what?

Re: video

[trenchcoatedly]

A boat. In between dimensions.

Sailing on the ocean that surrounds dimensions.

[einzweidrei]

What dimensions?

Re: video

[trenchcoatedly]

I don't know, I haven't gone to any of them. I bet they're nice though.

You look thin. Are you hungry? There's a cafeteria.

Where is it? [Charles is parroting back German he's sort of siphoning off from Erik so his accent's terrible. :V]

Re: video

[trenchcoatedly]

Who are you? You aren't him. Are you his friend?

Re: video

[stripedpajamas]

Yes, I am. My name's Charles Xavier. Where's the kitchen?

Re: video

[trenchcoatedly]

Hi, I'm Castiel. What's his name?

[Then, camera static. When it fades, he's in the kitchen.]

The kitchen is here.

Erik--[But woah hold the phone that isn't where you were bro]

How did you do that?

Re: video

[trenchcoatedly]

Hi Erik.

I fly. It's really easy for me. You can't see my wings though because your vision isn't good enough.

[stripedpajamas]

You have wings?

[trenchcoatedly]

Yeah. They're really cool.

[einzweidrei]

But - how - why are our eyes not good enough?

[trenchcoatedly]

Well, human eyes can't see other things too. Like ultraviolet light. It's kind of like that.

[stripedpajamas]

So, what are you?

[einzweidrei]

And what's ultraviolet light?

[trenchcoatedly]

I'm an angel.

Light is a wave. And the human eye can only see light within a certain frequency. Each color represents a certain frequency that the human eye can view. So anything past violent is ultra-violent, and anything past red is infrared.

[stripedpajamas]

Angels aren't real.

[trenchcoatedly]

Yeah they are.

[einzweidrei]

If they were real they would have stopped the war.

[trenchcoatedly]

Only if God told them to.

[stripedpajamas]

Why didn't he?

[einzweidrei]

Because there is no God.

[trenchcoatedly]

Yes there is.

And even if there wasn't, then no one would have told them to, and then they definitely wouldn't have stopped it.

[stripedpajamas]

If there was a God, he wouldn't have let so many people die.
