Video | 1
[Deciding a mass introduction would less painful and awkward the video begins a little unfocused and shaky at first. Yes. He's really that nervous.]
"Um....hi-Hello. My name is Sebastian Carter Hokori-Anderson."
[He really shouldn't have shared his full name he decides suddenly, covering the video image with his hand for a moment. Deep breath and a bit of an adjustment before the video stabilizes again.]
"I'm sort of n-new here. I've been here for a short while. I mean before the Bambi Squad...But I didn't really... I mean I was there. In Yosemite. And here in the Library before...."
[He's not even face to face with anyone so why is this so difficult? Sebastian can feel the signs of an anxiety attack building and tries one last time before cutting off the video.]
"I thought I would introduce myself."
[He can't imagine what else he could possibly say so he immediately ends the video.]

Re: [Video]
[The conversation seems to be going well. Barry seems nice. Sebastian decides it's comfortable enough to sit down on the floor and lean up against one of the book shelves.]
Re: [Video]
"No...I came here first. I was in the first group of people actually."
[Barry smiles a little.]
I'm a jumping into action kind of guy.
Re: [Video]
[That was interesting and something he hadn't been aware of before. But he hadn't exactly talked to a lot of people or asked a lot of questions.]
"How long have you been here?"
Re: [Video]
"The first group of people brought to the Library. It was interesting those first few days. But I'm not sure how long I've been here. Time is weird for me."
Re: [Video]
[How did he ask such an odd question and was it really odd considering magical library, portals, and escaping book characters? Sebastian leaned closer, as if someone could over hear them.]
"Are you and Felicity from the same...time?"
[Not exactly the right way to word this question he thought, wincing a bit and searching for a more appropriate word.]
Re: [Video]
[Barry understands better then his new friend might think.]
"Well no. We are a little bit behind each other actually. Or more to the point she is behind me by a few days. Some things happened for me that didn't for her at least not yet."
Re: [Video]
[Excuse the disappointment. He was hoping to hear something more along the lines of 'a year'.]
"Does it get confusing? KNowing things she doesn't?"
Re: [Video]
"Sometimes."
[Barry's tone turns sad.]
I didn't like telling her how I screwed up and let someone die. But hiding things from her didn't make sense either.
Re: [Video]
[Sebastian knew it wasn't the same thing, but he struggled with the regret of letting Jack leave. What if he had asked him to stay or gone home with him? Something. ANything.]
Re: [Video]
[Barry manages a sad little smile.]
"Don't be. Being a hero isn't easy and I....I've been through some stuff."
Re: [Video]
[He doesn't doubt the word or Barry's use of it, but he's curious. Not many people call themselves a hero as if the word was a title or job.]
