No more school. [Now this place was even more boring. Not that he'd ever admit that school made it any less boring, because if he admitted it Liquid would get all smug and stuff, and when Liquid was smug it make Kadaj want to punch him in the face. Hard.]

This holiday thing sounds stupid. What's the point? Everyone's making such a fuss-

[There's ( Read more... )

[The video starts featuring only the sky, and a few strands of Jack's platinum blonde hair. Then, Jack himself comes into focus. He'd finally gotten his ass into gear and gotten a "job" as a Bounty Hunter, and was confident enough in his abilities that he'd be good at it. It meant he wouldn't be sitting around with nothing to do, at least; and he ( Read more... )

...So. This Christmas thing -

If we're to believe the stories we're being fed here - and, well, at least the nuclear war part seems like it's a fact... - then this means the North Pole was affected too, right?

Does that mean -

- it can't. Santa Claus isn't dead, is he? It's one thing if you believe he's not real, but if you claim that he died, ( Read more... )

... [A sigh.] It seems that I had the misfortune of landing myself in the medical bays during that downpour. [Another sigh, this time more than slightly irritated and even with the grainy video, Prima's eyes are glowing silver/white.]

I have no place to stay and ... I have lost something important to me. I require aid in locating it. Please.

[ a child. the baby squeak is absent -- a clue to how many years, yet still so little voiced despite it. all soft-toned, a lack in fully developed vocal chords, yet undeniably boy. if you were to know him well, the caution and worry would be evident. transparent. tiny, consistently chiming bells. though, it’s more likely a tone depicting much of ( Read more... )

[There's fumbling noises for a while; someone getting adjusted to a new device. It's different than his last one. A wristwatch, really? That just... that sits at a really uncomfortable place.]

So what exactly is this place supposed to be? Last time I looked outside, it didn't look anything like this. And I'm pretty sure the door was still locked ( Read more... )

[The feed clicks on to Germany sitting at his desk, frowning and looking stressed as usual.]

...is there anywhere in this city that sells decent beer? [Obviously he's not expecting it to meet the standards of his own beer, but he hasn't had a drink for quite a while now.]

[Engineer is sitting on a box, looking irritatedly at the camera. He's just arrived, having gone through the awful process of waking up naked and wet. Now he's dressed and has done the requisite exploring and reading of pamphlets. They've been tossed to one side and he's turned his attention to this odd little device ( Read more... )

Does anybody know what to do to keep rats away without killing them? I've found somewhere to stay, but it's quite...infested. It's hard to say if I can leave anything in the room anymore, even if I make sure nobody sees where I hide it while I'm gone ( Read more... )

[he looks at the screen, confused, then breaks out into his usual smile.]

Hi everyone! Germany's been working really hard, and we finally have things for our apartment, as well as nice food now. Look, look--

[he shows the small apartment, stopping on the large bed. the large, king-size bed that there's only one of.]We don't actually have enough ( Read more... )
