[It was unlike anything Dimitri had ever seen before.
Dimitri has only ever seen cities in Fódlan. He hasn't even seen Shambhala yet. So, ending up in a futuristic city, even by 21st-century standards, was a massive case of culture shock for the man. Everywhere he looks, he sees new and unbelievable things. Hell, even the very monorail he's on at the moment is unlike anything he could have imagined.
And then there's the link device. To say that Dimitri was taken aback when he first heard that he could use it to communicate with people without being there in person is an understatement. And, as someone who hasn't even the faintest clue as to how the technology behind it works, he'd been asking anyone willing to help for some assistance in learning how to use it. It was a lot to take in, but Dimitri began to feel more confident about how to use it as people gave him some demonstrations.
That's behind him for the moment. For now, he's trying to do this visual storytelling thing. The question is, what kind of story should he tell? Dimitri ruminates indecisively; he has many stories to tell, but most of them are very heavy. He hasn't had an easy life, and he knows it.]
I... [Sigh.] I suppose I could try telling the story of my agreement with Sylvain, a friend of mine. You'll probably enjoy it more than I, however.
Waters of Seeing
[Well, there's certainly one thing in this city that Dimitri recognizes. A pond, artificial though it may be, is a welcome sight in a strange landscape. Dimitri sits at the edge of the pond, gazing into the water, calmness overcoming him as he does. It's nice to have some downtime and just look into the blue, and clear his mind of thoughts.
However, that doesn't last. Suddenly, an image begins to form in the pond. He sees a familiar face, one that causes a jolt of electricity to run through his body.]
El!?
[Shocked, Dimitri leaps to his feet, and he feels a wave of adrenaline surge into his veins. The pool depicts a young woman with white hair, clad in red clothing, laid out on the floor. Dimitri's breath hitches in his throat; he's seen this before. Yes, this was at the end of the war. He had just run Edelgard through with his spear after she'd flung the dagger into his shoulder. It was something that he hadn't wanted to do, but his arm had moved on its own in self-defense. It was, in a way, a suicide, and Dimitri didn't like that he'd played a part in it.]
Why am I seeing this again? Why is there a memory of mine in the water? For that matter, how?
[Alternately, he could be seeing a vision of your character's past. Your choice!]
Rooms With a View
[Since the newcomers have the chance to see what the apartments are like with different themes, Dimitri is checking those out with interest. It's incredible to him how these apartments can look so different despite the external surroundings. In one apartment, everything seemed to be made of steel; in another, every corner was lit with red, green, and blue lights. There was one where everything was sleek and seemed to have no apparent method to interact with them, and then one that looked like a hollow built into a forest hillside.]
This is incredible...I never could have even dreamed that anything like this was possible!
