Riff is back, so everything is right in the world again ( Read more... )

[After her post several days ago, Merry seems to be much calmer than before, simply sitting in the back area of the Opera House and staring off into the sky as the last light of the sun starts to disappear under the horizon. She is silent as the video keeps rolling, and doesn't make any move to speak. In fact, she sits there long enough like this ( Read more... )

[The video turns on to find Merry trying to tug on rain boots. She already has a slicker on, and a water proof cap is sitting beside her on the bed, ready to be put on as well.]England has bad weather all the time, so it's not like we aren't used to rain. But the City isn't like any place in any world, so I'm worried about the storm that's coming ( Read more... )

[There is a lot of rustling background noise, and when the camera turns on, it's slightly dark. Merry is huddled under her covers, smiling even though she looks a little tired. Two curses in one week can take a lot out of a little girl. She is staying in bed for the day, thank you very much.]I liked that last curse. I've always had private tutors, ( Read more... )

[The camera catches a lovely blonde woman starting to stir in bed, her stretching arms having jarred the communicator and caused it to start recording. This is Merry Weather, aged up to twenty years old. She sits up and blinks blearily around her, confused at the girlish room she is in before realizing that she isn't at home anymore. Merry presses ( Read more... )

Why hasn't this curse

I know Huey isn't like this but I'm starting to get really angry and I

How should I tell Huey to

Huey Freeman, curse or no, I am not going to let you talk about my brother in such a horrid way. I respectfully request that you take back your words.

[When the video comes on, everyone can see that Merry is cocooned in multiple blankets and pillows, looking generally better than she did in her last post. She waves a little into the camera, smiling a tiny smile.]Hello everyone. I'm mostly better now, thanks to Riff. I'm still a little bit confused about what happened...but I'm glad it's over. I'm ( Read more... )

[Hands fumble with the communicator until Merry's face appears. Her cheeks are rosy pink, her hair askew, her lips chapped and dry, and her body bundled up until she resembles a little snowball herself, but she has a bright smile on her face.]It's a shame there's so much snow and hardly anyone is going out into it. It's not so bad, not like two ( Read more... )

[Have a ferret fais on your Network, City. The ferret noses and paws at the device, tilting its head this way and that before sitting on its haunches in front of it, its whiskers twitching. And then it turns its head off to the side and starts speaking in a distinctly male, though somewhat young and high pitched, voice.]Merry, what's this button do ( Read more... )

[There is a a rustle of skirts, and then a soft yawn. Merry fumbles around for a moment.]

I'm crying... How strange, it wasn't even a sad--

[And then silence. There isn't even the sound of her breathing.]

Brother?

[The call comes quietly, barely even whispered. No. No no no no no-- had he left without saying goodbye? He wouldn't do that to her ( Read more... )
