[The feed is probably not intentional and it can be guessed that the sorcerer bumped into the communicator and turned it on by accident from all the motion he's making. He's walking about his apartment a bit erratically and, just before he starts talking to nothing, he waves his hand in the air as if shooing something away.]I said leave me alone! ( Read more... )

[The sorcerer is sitting cross-legged on the floor. He almost looks like he's mediating and though there is no obvious signs of magic going on in the room his ring is glowing slightly ( Read more... )

[The feed starts showing the sorcerer surrounded by a lot of cleaning supplies--brooms, mops, rags, dust pans, sweepers, feather dusters, spray bottles, you name it its there--with a determined look on his face and yet an oddly relaxed stance.]

I hope everyone had a 'Happy Halloween' and didn't get too sick on treats.

Yuuko--may I have a word?

[The transmission begins with a cough. At least it isn't a worrisome one like some others of late. It's fairly docile and regular sounding. Still, the originator goes on to complain:]
