[That terrifying racket of metal on metal and fire on metal late at night?

Yeah that'd be Audrey in her sweet ass shop banging away on sheets of metal, refining them over and over again to make a curve in the sheet.

She's trying to make an engine. Doing. Not trying. Doing.
Audrey is covered in soot and flecks of metal from the molding. And she's ( Read more... )

Okay.... here I go.

Um. If anyone is looking for or worried about Mulan... [Wait, what's he SAYING? Of course they're worried. Why wouldn't they be, she's been missing for a week. Crap, he's messed up already. Maybe he should just start over. No no no. He can't start over now. Fine, he'll have to keep going.] I might be able to help ( Read more... )

[anyone on the bottom floor of Joe West would suddenly be assaulted by several different aromas wafting from the kitchen. If you investigate further you'd notice Tiana in the kitchen surrounded by several different types of food in pots, pans, dishes, on the burner, off the burner, in the over... just everywhere. She's cooking, because she's ( Read more... )

[Video feed switches on with some fumbling. The first few moments are muffled as Wendy fiddles with the comm. Her exclamation is quiet, musing.]

My, this is a queer device.

Oh! There we are!

[The picture resolves; she's seated at her desk, looking neatly put-together and competent, her hands folded in her lap.]

[Milo is hanging out in the library! Instead of locking himself in his room to research this time, he's opting for a more public venue. It's not helping him make any progress, sadly. He is, however, sitting at a table and poring over every related book, leaflet, magazine, and scrap of paper he can find. The entire surface of the table--literally ( Read more... )

[There's a familiar plastic face being shoved in front of the comm!]

Look, guys! I got a package from my dad! [a finger presses a button on the action figure's front and it speaks in an electronic voice:] TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

[Russell moves the comm to view his face and grins.] Has anybody else gotten anything sent from home yet? My mom's been ( Read more... )

What's with all the singing, everybody? But... I like it so much even I can't stop myself!

[Beast, still in the infirmary is glaring at the screen, with a little pout thrown in there.]

Does random singing happen often here?

[There's a little card table of sorts standing out on the quad, set with a simple white cloth, an empty wooden chair facing it, and nothing atop it apart from a handwritten sign in bright, scribbled capitals that says: "TAROT READINGS AND VOODOO CHARMS."

Dr. Facilier sits expectantly behind it, shuffling a thick deck of cards.]

[The comm is dark... but turned on. There's a wet sort sort. And then a peek of light... and floor. The comm is being tugged back and forth.

A young, female, British voice can be heard.]

Nana Two! Give it here!

Nana Two!

OOF!

[The comm is free, still pointed at the floor, now with a pair of boots. Though there is definitely something ( Read more... )
