[ Ladon comes into view on his PORTAL in the kitchen of house #15. This time around he's not burning pancakes and causing a ruckus, though.

He's opening a can of tuna. The reason for this can be heard in the background, the dingling of a small, cat-collar bell and some insistent, hungry meowing. ]

House 15. Got a question for you.

[ He goes ( Read more... )

[The video feed is looking out over the surrounding cityscape, the boy whose speaking isn’t at all visible in the shot but his tone sounds poised, confident and a touch smug, possibly a stark contrast to the night that he had initially arrived. All those that pass by the lens can be seen adorned in their individual masks all in a wide variety ( Read more... )

[ Ladon is in his jazz club with the lights low, but there's enough to see that he's shifting around behind some kind of bar, cleaning shot glasses and rearranging bottles.

He takes a moment to set a nice new bottle of whiskey to the side before picking up his PORTAL and thinking at it. ]

She closes the door loudly and ( Read more... )

[ The video clicks on to show a clean room and a golden and black mask set on the dresser. After a moment or two, a man comes into the frame, taking a drag from a cigarette. It's then when the device focuses in on his face, as it normally would in one of these broadcasts. ]

So uh... [He fiddles with his mask] What do you guys think about the masks? They're suppose to represent equality but masks have a totally different meaning in Greece. What about you guys?
