[The video seems to be recorded from a phone, as Alastor is lounging in the common area of Aube floor 1, nursing a mug of hot chocolate.]

So this is the infamous Daybreak Academy...gotta say, the area's changed a lot since the last time I was here.

Well, since it's been a while since I've been around in the human world, and I'm not expecting everyone to be a movie buff, I guess I oughta introduce myself. My name's Alastor, I'm the new RA for the first floor of the Aube dormitory and resident sword daemon. I can't exactly promise I know everything, of course, but feel free to give me a ring if you need advice on something.

If you're just looking for autographs, though, I'm afraid you'll need an appointment. Can't let my movie star popularity interfere with my academic life, after all.

Movies can be pretty important, actually. But if I'm gonna write a psych thesis on the impact and significance of fiction, I think I'll save it for class.

I'd rather hear a thesis on the application of runic numbers in alchemic equations, but if you like it, go for it.

More interested in the hard sciences, huh? I'll admit, they are more reliable...but there's something to be said for being able to figure out what makes people tick.

People are too predictable and too variable at the same time. A lot easier trying to figure out what makes the world tick.

Maybe that's why I prefer people. I always did prefer a challenge over an easy win.

[inkedspell]

By challenge you mean you will never fully understand it no matter how long you live, sure. You'll never not have something to do, at least.

[superstylishsquid]

Beats being bored. Trust me, after a couple thousand years of nothing to do, you'd welcome a never ending challenge.

Thankfully, I'm your average human and living forever isn't something I have to worry about. I get to enjoy knowing I experience life in the now and die before I've been around long enough to find the world boring.
