[Tear is seated somewhere in the gardens in a yellow dress, sandals, and her hair up in a ponytail. It is too hot to wear it down. She has a book open in her lap and the Guide is propped up against something so that it is recording Tear from the side. She turns a page in her book, lifts her gaze to the Guide, and lifts a hand and gives a tiny, ( Read more... )

[The video turns on to show an early-waking Tear, dressed in yellow tank-top, capri pants, and tennis shoes. All her long hair is bound into a ponytail. She has several hairbands around her wrists in case it ever comes undone. It'd taken heavy-duty elastic to put the first ponytail up, and after that band broke, she'd had to use a rope-like product ( Read more... )

[The video turns on. Camera moves. A hand covers the lens, before there is a shift, and lips are seen.]

Let’s see…

[Then the lens zooms out, a face is seen, then a torso, now the upper half of a body is visible. Female body, dressed in uniform. Long hair. Eyes that are stern. Lips that are pressed in a thin line. ‘Do not mess with me’ is what her ( Read more... )

[Tear is trying to do something with her Guide. Call someone, maybe? It doesn't seem to be working as she keeps getting "This call cannot be completed as dialed" "This number does not exist" "The person you are trying to reach is not available" and other such messages. With each attempt she seems to get a little more frantic, until she finally ( Read more... )

[There's a muffled thump, of something hitting something, then silence, punctuated only by the light sounds of breathing. Surprisingly, the Guide doesn't idle off after a few moments of this. Then, breaking the silence, is a soft and heartfelt song...]

Tue rei ze croa riou tue ze ( Read more... )

[A video window pops up in your Guide-- not dissimilar from one of those godawful talking popups on a browser-- and begins playing a clip. For all intents and purposes, it appears to be a commercial for SASSY SOULS, some kind of daytime talkshow for bored housewives.]

New, to XTZ-TV2! SASSY SOULS, with sexy hosts with the most from every solar ( Read more... )

[HAVE THIS CUTE THING STARING INTENTLY AT YOU THROUGH THE GUIDE. She shifts a little uncertainly before beginning.]

Big brother? Are you here? I dunno where this is... I hope you are here too! If you're here I'm waiting for you! I know you can find me, you can do anything!

[replies will be with faithborn]

[The picture is pretty blurry from dirt, but the video opens to a very dusty, dirty, muddy pair of female soldiers. Hawkeye's hair has half fallen out of her clip, her work clothes streaked with mud and grease and maybe a little blood from the way her lower lip is swelling up. Tear's pulled her own mess of hair back into a bird's nest to keep it ( Read more... )

[It looks like a commercial is about to appear on the Guide, but what it cuts to could hardly be a proper commercial. Tear, in a rather flattering dress, appears to be holding an alien at knifepoint and is obviously very angry about something.]Miss S.S. Thor or not, this is a jewelry commercial. This is hardly appropriate attire for a commercial ( Read more... )

[Tear is staring intently at the Guide as if reading something... then she stops, the view going strange as she looks up at something else. It looks like the name registry by a specific room. She's reading over the occupants of the room, before checking back on the Guide again, a look of very intense concentration on her face ( Read more... )
