Video, Monday: He never asked to be the Chosen One

[A very defeated looking Neville can be seen on the screen. Some people might notice a scar on his forehead when he moves the right way. It's rather... lightning bolt like.]

Guys, I've tried. I really have. But I'm not any closer to figuring out what's going on here than I was when we first started noticing something was wrong with some people. If it's magic, it's not any kind I've ever learned. If it's not... then I really don't know what it is.

[Magic's the only thing he can think of. There should be something. He's supposed to save everyone, right?]

I know people count on me but... I'm pretty stuck right now.

[Armand seems to be studying Neville a moment before speaking.]

Are you one of the people who is trying to solve this?

[The reference to magic throws him a little, but he manages to keeps his thoughts in order.]

Who have you seen that is different other than the children? I don't mean to be nosy, but I am worried. For others. I've been watching the children.

Is it safe to talk about this here?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't say. I'm Armand St. Just. I recently woke up again on the Ship. [He still isn't comfortable calling it Salvation, but then again he's never spoken to the avatar either.]

Someone has to, right?

I'm Neville Longbottom.

[And in his world that usually means 'someone' is him.]

It's a little less obvious with the others, but a lot of the other teenagers are... off.

[Also what Inara mentioned about Luke... but he's not discussing that over a public network. He's brave, not stupid.]

Oh, yes. I think Todd said something about that. [He knows a little more but since Neville seems aware, there's no use retreading old ground.]

I don't think you have to solve this alone. You said it didn't seem like magic so perhaps it's up to some of the others.

Why would it be your responsibility if it were magic? Are you the only... magician here? [That doesn't sound quite right even to his ears, but he wouldn't stumble on the right term.]

Everyone always seems to expect me to solve things. Even if all I ever really did was not die.

[It's a lot of pressure]

You seem very nice, and you are probably clever, but isn't that a bit much? [Armand cannot be sure, but Neville seems younger than he is himself, if not by a lot. But to his mind, that error could work either direction.]

I never asked for any of it. But everyone expects it and... someone has to, right?

They should stop expecting it, and be grateful you're willing to help out.

That would be nice.

[He shakes his head]

Maybe someday I'll figure out what it was I even did.

You don't know?

If it is any consolation, I don't expect you to save the world, unless you want to.

[He shakes his head]

I was a baby when it happened.

Then I can hardly see how it was something you did. Perhaps it's something you are, in your blood or something.

Even if it is, everyone expects it to just keep on working.

I don't have any advice.

If you have time, would you like to come by Callahan's for coffee or tea? I can listen.

I never say no to tea.

[And Armand has lived in England, so he knows the attachment.] Anytime you feel like coming by. I suppose I'll have a place of my own someday, and you can visit there too.
