'Be wary of the King and Queen...'

Hm... The Exile offers a warning, but how can they expect me to trust them so easily? Still, this 'King and Queen'... they did bring me here. Curious that they provided shelter to someone they've kidnapped, but I suppose most kidnappers provide the basics before disposing of their victims one way or another.

[The video feed runs for a few seconds while Jack, still not sure how to operate it, fumbles with the PORTAL. He's outside, in front of some building, and the ocean can be heard over the feed. He also looks tense, even more so when he realizes the PORTAL is finally recording.]Listen. I heard... Someone told me that Rapture was-that it was here. ( Read more... )

[Naoto's staring down at her jacket, seemingly oblivious to the PORTAL's broadcast. She lifts it, smells the fabric...frowns.

Her voice comes out in a murmur.]

...Everything smells like gunpowder.

[ This time when the video clicks on, it almost looks like an accident. Ichigo is flopped on the couch, apparently fiddling with his PORTAL, and there's a long pause between the video kicking on, and him actually looking at the camera to speak; ]So. It seems like it's been one freaking crisis after another around here. Plus with just plain day-to- ( Read more... )

[The video shows only green leaves at first, before the PORTAL is readjusted and settles on Naoto. It's obvious that she's outside, not only because of the tree behind her, but also because of her simple white mask.

After a few seconds of silent broadcast, she blinks and looks away.]

I'm still alive. Just in case...

[She trails off, a hint of ( Read more... )

There's been so many reunions over the past few days. Even if a lot of people wouldn't wish for someone they care about to be stuck here with them, it's easier having someone you know by your side.

[A hesitation.]

In theory.

I guess I'm still waiting? There's only a couple of people that I even want to see again anyway. I think I probably have ( Read more... )

No regrets.

[Naoto slides her plain white mask off now that she's inside. She sits down, and for a moment it seems like she might've been talking to herself - she has a habit of that.

But then a smile touches her lips, even if it doesn't quite reach her eyes.]

Then again, isn't having regrets part of being alive?

[ Hello, again, Promenade. It's your neighborhood wookie shinigami daiko staring at the camera again. Well, actually it's more like scowling. ]

So. Figured out who the killer was , fat lot of good it does now.

[ Sigh. Ichigo rubs a hand through his hair, then leans his chin on the same hand, looking irate. ]But, the point of this message isn't to ( Read more... )

[So Madsen's standing outside the Academy, rolling a shoulder as she has her mask and sword sitting on the ground nearby. A quick one-two jab, roundhouse, and she settles into her fighting stance, only to grin at the camera.]

'Sup. Just so you guys know, if you're thinking about or have already joined Tony's teams, stick around, this post is for you ( Read more... )

[At first all that can be heard are quick footsteps. She's running along the street, turning a couple more corners before she finally speaks.]

Has anyone seen a small dog around house twelve? He's dark in color and appears to be a few months old?

He may also be a she. But you'll know him if you see him.
