If they were going to keep us in our Places of Solace, the least they could have done was give us company... Never have I felt so inclined to tidy up this flat before.

[Yes, she worries about the important things. Really, it was boring with no one to keep her company...]

[The recent riots surprised Dexter -- especially since the Queen was a fraud. It hadn't ever occured to him that the authority figures could be fakes. He shouldn't have left that option out of his mind. And now with the masks -- the rules were harsher than last time. Well, he figured as much. Once fraud makes its way into the system, it's hard to ( Read more... )

[Effy doesn't look like her usual self. She may or may not be a little alarmed by the situation, but she can't help but smirk as she stares into the PORTAL. Keeping her cool is definitely what matters here, yep. Her hair is straightened opposed to being naturally wavy, her wardrobe having changed quite a bit.]

Am I tripping?

[She pauses, looking out ( Read more... )

[Kelly is still recognisably himself, looking at the PORTAL camera. His hair's much shorter, and there's something more like an attempt at a beard on his face than the stubbly thing he sometimes allows. The biggest difference, really, is the uncertain way he holds himself, shoulder hunched forward, eyes darting away from the PORTAL occasionally as ( Read more... )

hey nii-san, where are you?
i'm in this weird place. it's a city. but not nagasaki.

i can't figure out how to call kaa-san on this phone.

[A few minutes later, another text comes on the network.]

nii-san! nii-san ( Read more... )

[ it's castiel! and he's frowning at...a pig. a small pig just chilling in castiel's residence. he looks at it for a moment before turning his attention back to the comm. ]

It seems I have inherited a pig.

[ 8| ]

I am not sure what to do with it.

[The feed cuts in to show Nepeta in a hive that is definitely not her own - those who know it will recognise it as Equius'. From the way she's curled up on his sofa, it's clear she's been there a while - in fact, she's been there since at least nightfall. Long enough that he should have come back now, particularly with so many half-finished robot ( Read more... )

What is this Halloween?

[ there's a knock rather loud on a door offscreen. ]

No I do not have any candy, whatever that may be.

[Thanks to the intervention of Harry, she's been asleep in her flat for the duration of the monsters descending upon the city, not dreaming until she began to wake a day or so ago, rolling over to click through the PORTAL to the last thing she remembered, watching videos with a distracted air to catch up on events ( Read more... )

Seems like it's all over now so people if you see this, check in. I know some people will have died but we know they'll come back but having a list we put together ourselves might help. And there might be people out in parts of the city who are still injured or who holed up to wait this out that might not be able to get in contact ( Read more... )
