[Somewhat shaky video turns on, the camera pointing mostly at the Master's face. He is smirking as he walks, holding his Network Device. He clearly finds something very amusing.]

Hullo, City! Now, I haven't been taking the curses very seriously but I've been assured that this is generally a hellish month. Due, I suspect, mainly to the allure of

Hello? Everything okay over there?

[neverendingbeat]

Nnnnn...

I...oww...my head...

[extreme sarcasm]

I'm not actually sure just at the moment.

I'll get right back to you once I can see anything.

[horrible_penny]

You can't see? ...What happened?

[shuffling sound]

Mmgh, well, I'm tied up at the moment.

[humourless laughter]

I mean literally. Literally tied up. But I...yes, I'm pretty sure I still have my eyes. And...no blindfold that I can feel so...it's very dark. Staggeringly dark. As in there is absolutely no light in this room or wherever I am. Clearly, I still have my Network Device, as I'm talking to you. But the screen's off, or something similar.
I can't see a thing.

[pause, then he speaks dryly]

I suppose this is meant to teach me not to laugh at the deities?

voice;

[horrible_penny]

That's... not good. Which is totally an understatement.

Just stay calm. I'm sure someone'll be by to help you, or I can--you were in the pumpkin patch? Spooky dark places can't be that hard to find.

...Not laughing would be a good idea, yeah.

[neverendingbeat]

I've been in w...I've been in pretty bad situations before. I should be able to get out of this, really. It's only rope.

I'll stop laughing when they stop being funny.

[horrible_penny]

So you're tied up in a dark place, but you're not worried. Right. Good luck getting out, I guess?

[neverendingbeat]

Thank you. All right, fine, this is a little unsettling, at most but I've nearly removed one of my hands from the ropes and once--

[pause]

--sorry, I thought I heard something. I'm perhaps a wee bit paranoid over on this end but rightfully so. Anyway, once I have my hands out in front of me I can feel around for my Device, turn on the light of the screen again and find out where I am. It's all really quite simple, if I--

[A dull thud. Silence.]

voice;

[horrible_penny]

If you...? What?

[Pause. Long pause. Longer pause.]

voice;

[neverendingbeat]

Hello? Anyone still there?

[pause]

Things have become a little more interesting.

voice;

[horrible_penny]

No, I'm still here. ...What's going on? What happened there?

voice; Backdated like WHOA. Sorry for using you to lead in to my other RPing

[neverendingbeat]

I'm in...I'm on the floor of...the walls are lined with mirrors.

[pause]

All right, fine, I agree with you, enough is enough. I think I heard someone on the Network volunteering to scour the pumpkin patch for survivors. I'll ask her to maybe try and pop by. [sigh, spoken a little bit stiffly, not nearly as charming as usual] Thank you for your help and advice.

voice; No problems here!

[horrible_penny]

Oookay. ...I hope you'll get rescued quickly.

[said just as cheerfully as usual, thank you] You're welcome!
