[The feed clicks on abruptly. Richtofen glances up at the camera, then down at the keyboard, and scowls.]
Wha- No, you stupid thing, I did not mean-!
[He heaves a sigh. He's silent for about three seconds, then looks back up at the camera wearing a grin that's more predatory than anything. He raises both hands, fingers spread, and gives them a little wiggle.]
...My hands are not cooperating with me today. [He balls them into fists. His smile is tight-lipped, eyes shining with annoyance.] Ah, well. Video will work just as well as text, I suppose...
[He sucks in a big breath, and lets it out in a high-pitched whine of air that trails into a word.]
Soooooo, Tower, mein kleine friends. It has been a little bit, has it not? Two weeks, perhaps three? [He moves one hand around in the air as if grasping for words, and a shiver of a laugh creeps into his voice.] You know, it is just so hard to tell the time when you are trapped in a desolate wasteland without even bugs to keep you company!
[He ends in a shout that wipes the smile off his face, so Richtofen - chest heaving just a bit - takes care to twist his lips upward before he goes on.]
But I digress.
[He leans back in his seat, hoists his boots up onto the terminal. With his arms folded behind his head, he looks confident, even if he's too high-strung to ever be considered "relaxed."]
Tell me, what have I missed? It feels like it has been forever since I have been around all of you lovely people. Please, I implore you, I want to know everything that has happened while I have been away. [He lifts an index finger and gives it a little wave.] The doctor does not like being out of the loop, you know!
[It's unclear why he's asking this on the network, of all places. Surely nothing too secret can be revealed in public... Maybe he just wants attention.]

But you know! There are lots of bugs on the forty-first floor! I know they're not real but they're close enough. If you ever get lonely again you should pay us a visit!
[Completely missing the point]

Lonely-? I was not lonely!
[He adjusts first his hat, then his tie, and huffs out a breath.]
You misunderstand, child. I found the solitude charming. I was simply a bit disappointed with the lack of shambling corpses to use for target practice.

I just- just get bored, that is all! Do you have any idea how tedious it is to wander around for hours und not get attacked by a single zombie?
[Abruptly, his expression changes from anger to overblown sadness.]
All of my pretty little ones are already dead, und I had nothing to do with it! [His voice steadily raises in pitch, practically cracking on the last syllable.] How awful!

All she wanted was for someone to get excited about bugs with, geez]
I don't know anything about zombies...
Sorry you couldn't kill your dead fiends either. I'll be sure not to make friends with you.
