[When the watch communicator video feed clicks on, all it shows is a tabletop, viewed from such a close angle as to make it enlarged and distorted, a commonplace item turned monstrous by the awkward placement of the camera. Bent, grease-spotted playing cards lay strewn across the tabletop, along with banded stacks of dollar bills, a handgun, and ( Read more... )

[The video feed clicks on, showing an extremely disgruntled, agitated-looking kid. The camera is being held at an awkward angle, so anyone viewing this will mostly be seeing a grayish jawline and long, hanging black hair.] Where am I? Which one of you revolting lowbloods did this? Come forth and confess at once!

[It's later in the afternoon, and the feed begins with gray fingers retreating, a small part dangling between them. The rest of Equius comes into view, the young troll sitting on his sleep square, a pair of goggles settled in his lap. He places the part in a small black box, then pokes his soldering iron around to secure it in place ( Read more... )

D --> To those who have noticed, I'd like to apologize for my absence
D --> I've been quite absorbed in my work the past few days
D --> Tavros, your upgraded legs have been completed

[Equius is bent over his workbench, soldering iron in hand as he fusses over a project. It's mostly circuitry and small parts, very delicate work, and his hair is tired back out of his face. He doesn't seem to know that he's being recorded, ignoring his comuniwatch completely for a few minutes ( Read more... )

D --> I wish my moirail was here ( Read more... )

[The lens filming this video is more than just cracked, it's practically shattered. Not much can be made out through the splintered glass besides a few gray shapes, one of which resembles a human, hunched over and curled into a ball]

Tavros. [His voice is quiet, muffled by his arms, but a careful listener would be able to pick up a plaintive ( Read more... )

[Equius is clutching his watch so tightly the lens has cracked under the STRENGTH of his grip. It shakes in his hands, making the feed jitter slightly, and his brow is furrowed so much, his eyebrows almost disappear behind his glasses]Someone tell my they have Nepeta. She is not anywhere within our hive, and she has not left a note. If you have ( Read more... )

I am confused.

[Equius is sitting at the piano in the music shop, staring blankly around him] The sign labelled this building as a purveyor of music, and yet I have examined the building from front to back, and the only thing even remotely related to the creation or distribution of music is notebooks. Only, the notes do not make any sense and I ( Read more... )
