[ He's taken a whole day to find his bearings in these new surroundings. Get used to the technology, so to speak. When he finally chooses to address the rest of the network, he's still in his expensive clothes, the Forèstiere jacket slung around his shoulders. Misplaced.
Michel seems unusually calm about it, looking off to the side with a contemplative expression. Maybe faintly amused. ]
Taken into account that I'm currently waiting to be sentenced, I'm surprised at the lack of legal representation available to me. Am I supposed to represent myself? Don't the people who've kidnapped me know I'm the worst lawyer you could imagine?
[ A slight huff; back home, it would've been a laugh. Here, who knows?! ]
I certainly wouldn't want to be represented by me. I'll get life, for certain!
[ A wave of one hand, nonchalant or unsure, it's hard to tell on him. Finally, Michel turns his attention down on the charm, something like eye contact with the grand, big audience he can't yet make out. ]
Unrelated, but I'm wondering whether they have truffles here. As such, I also find myself wondering where I might get a dog or a pig with a nose for that kind of treasure.

[ He considers for a moment, a long pause as he connects some dots that were more vague before she decided to be forthcoming. He's no detective, he's hardly even a lawyer, but he sees connections well enough. Sometimes too well. Sometimes he makes them up. ]
Do you have a name?
I'll go first. I'm Michel Laurent.
Until very recently, I thought I was just dreaming. A very bizarre, strange dream that I couldn't shake.
