[As the video starts a wily looking redhead can be seen propped up against the headboard of one of the palaces overly ornate beds, one arm tucked behind his head. His other arm is otherwise occupied with maintaining visual quality. Aside from some empty bottles on his bedside table the room he's in appears to have seen very little use like he's attempting not to leave an indelible trace of his being here.]
It took me a minute and a dislocated finger or two to believe this [nods in the general direction of the bracelet] ain't coming off.
[He might have been told that he couldn't remove it, but he had to follow his own urges anyway.] Fits me like a second skin.
[Tilting his head a bit he surveys an area just beyond the video as though he's taking in the room and his surroundings. Like he hasn't seen it before, but he has, of course.] Nice, right? Languishing in all of this luxurious despair. I feel so fancy...but you're not here to listen to me snap gum and crack wise, right? I'll get to the point.
[He adjusts himself, sitting up a little straighter so the can use his other arm for gesturing, continuing in his casual, unhurried way.]
I'm looking for some someones [he holds up a single finger] a tall guy, bald, and not nearly as handsome as yours truly, but he does rock a nice pair of shades...I'll give him that [holding up a second finger he moves down his list of people]...a talkative, blonde-haired chippy, more spunk than sense most days...but her heart is in the right place...I guess...[holding up a third finger he moves on...are these supposed to be friends? Who knows.]...and a guy with long, dark hair, serious expression...you know...the it's-been-a-decade-since-I-last-had-a-shit kind of expression.
[he looked at the three fingers as though he might be contemplating an additional finger, and an additional person.
Nope. He's good.]
They'll refer to themselves as the Turks...if that sounds familiar then we might need to have a chat.
[He moves as if to end the feed before halting himself and adding finally.]
I'm Reno...of the Turks. [That last bit is important.]

I'm going to make an educated guess right back that we're probably losing something in translation here. Damn, I'm never going to find out why it's Istanbul not Constantinople now, am I?
[She shakes her head sadly.]
That just about messes up my whole bit. What a shame.

Bingo. Turk means something entirely different on my world, apparently on another world it refers to a people and a country and other things. Don't know anything about it.
[So sorry he can't help you there.]
I do hate raining on parades.
