[The video clicks on in a dark location. You get the faint impression of some sort of mechanical room but it's dark, and the only thing visible is a patch on the floor lit up by the monitor.
That is, until a ball of multi-colored light drifts down into view, sparkles dropping off it and fading away into the darkness like embers. It flashes and is then replaced by...
Giro??
Yes, Giro is standing there now, though he's not exactly solid, and his appearance glitches from time to time. Oh and he's glowing. But he looks at the screen and smiles, nonplussed by his current state, although that smile is a little sad.]
To friends of mine viewing this post, I'm sorry. I just saw the post Biometal Model Z put up earlier, and knew I had to make this one. While what he said was true... I'm still around. I want to continue to follow the community, though I doubt I'll ever be as active as I once was. But I wanted to let you know that... I'm here.
I can't hold this state for very long, but I'll make any replies I can. [He folds his hands in front of him and bows slightly, respectfully, eyes closing and hair falling to either side.] Once again I'm sorry for worrying you. Any of you.
And... [His demeanor changes and becomes sadder, as he looks back at the camera.] Aile. From the future. If you see this, I'm truly sorry for... having to put you through it again.
((OOC: Follow-up to
this post! I was going to put it up tomorrow but I won't be here during much of it, so here it is now. Replies will be video unless otherwise noted.))
