Well.

[ what else can one say, really, in reflection of certain things. dai appears on the video feed, smiling thinly in the weird grungy light afforded by the all-too-familiar scenery of the run-down cathedral. in the dark, only barely revealed in shape by one filthy, washed-out window of unbroken glass, a handful of figures move sluggishly, ( Read more... )

I need some volunteers for a surveillance mission to the casino.

Nothing but a investigation at the moment. We won't be hanging around if we find anything nasty. I'd still prefer people with combat training if possible.

Meet me at the docks if you're interested. Weapons and equipment will be supplied.

[A (surprisingly cheerful) man shows up on the video screen, and although it's safe to assume he's somewhere around the current area, it's impossible to where.]

Well, well. It's been a while, hasn't it? Welcome to Niflheim, I was sure I'd saw the last of you all with the city collapse. [He laughs.] My mistake, though ( Read more... )

[The feed opens up to a rushing sound: wind, maybe, present but not so loud that it covers her voice. She's been watching the network, the comings and goings of Nuadoria's inhabitants, and isn't sure she likes what she sees]So this place, what, recycles its hostages?

[The feed flicks on to show Ginny, complete with her purple fluff ball on her shoulder. She look business-like as she stands there, arms crossed over her chest.]

Call me curious. How many of us remember this place or am I the only one? And for those who remember, how long has it been?

[the video feed screeches on in static and at first all that can be heard is the scraping of metal and the unfamiliar sickening so of said material bending and twisting in ways it shouldn't. The screen is fuzzy, the feed blipping as it tries to remain connected and it sounds like there might be a scream nested in there ( Read more... )

[The ginger kitten grabs the communicator as it falls out of his pocket, holding it while Eike continues to dig through his pockets in a possessed manner. Flinging the objects down rather than carefully taking each out, he finally finds the Digipad. He glosses his fingers over the device, but it isn't glowing.There has to be a time that ... that ( Read more... )
