[Gesicht is wearing a serious, thoughtful expression. What's visible of his suit looks a bit battered, but beyond that he appears perfectly normal.]

I take it that disrupting events occur here fairly regularly, though invasions do not.

Have the events been increasing in magnitude?

[The video flickers on and off and before stabilizing. Mist rolls across the screen, but the sound of rolling water can be heard, like the ocean. And there's voices.]

Eye, First Mate!

Aye, Captain?

Have ye got driftwood in yer ears? I said eye!

Eye?

Aye!

Aye, Captain!

[The mist rolls away to reveal a dead man's face framed by a white beard. ( Read more... )

[Yeah, it's no surprise he's out fighting the hostiles. Did you expect anything less from an over-energized ex-SOLDIER in the face of danger?]

Look, when I said zombies, I was kidding! Don't take me so literally next time!

Good thing to know I haven't lost my touch with the dreams, tho--[The meaty thunk of his sword connecting and heavily digging ( Read more... )

[Grimmer is looking a bit the worse for wear. There's a cut on one of his cheeks, it's not bleeding now but he hasn't yet cleaned it up. His smile is faint, and he looks distinctly tired.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL AGES!

Now that everything has settled a little...

Partnership lists have been updated.

I'm afraid this is a little... brief. But there are things I must do.
