So do lighthouses often random appear and light up on their own, or is this something new?

I tried to gather information from it, but it didn't seem to yield much. Which does lend to the whole new idea.

At least whatever this is a sign of, it'll probably help things be less boring.

Which is always a plus if you ask me.

[ It's late at night, or very early morning, and Theon Greyjoy is standing in front of a wide-open window, examining his Forge suspiciously. Close, then distant, then jostled and skewed as he gets the hang of it. ]

Strange voices.

[ And familiar ones. It hadn't taken much toying for the scared dulcet tones of Brandon Stark to filter tinny to his ( Read more... )

[The camera flips over and over a few times, it even tumbles and drops once before it gets picked up.]

So you're a communicator, huh? Hello there! Uh, I was told this place is called Anatole... where in the world is that? I've never heard of it, never seen it on a map either.

Anyone mind explaining just how the hell I got here?

Does anybody else feel like starting a club for the weird and freaky?

[Sup, Anatole. There is a confident-looking youth sitting at a table, centered in the camera. Close-cropped blue hair and a matching hat frame an androgynous face, and at first it is difficult to guess the gender of the person gazing keenly at the Forge. The voice, however, is female enough, although on the deep side.Hello. If I understand ( Read more... )

[Hello, Anatole. Here's a British kid with an uncharacteristically inviting expression.]Good afternoon. My earlier introduction a few months ago was a bit too hostile for my taste, so I'd like to begin again. I am Earl Ciel Phantomhive, and I would like to extend an invitation to you all. In four day's time, on this Friday evening, I will be ( Read more... )

[The Forge cuts on with a black screen at first, which gives way to a steely-blue grey wrapping that disappears into shadow as it extends upward... Yes, that is a leg. Yes, you've all just gotten an up-hakama shot.]

Here again?

[A pause as he takes a moment to feel out who's there that he recognizes, mumbling the names under his breath with each ( Read more... )

[ At first, the video doesn't show a clear image. Then, one can see a flash of purple - blue - black - as the image sharpens, it is clear that a woman is turning the device in her hands. You can see pale skin, black hair, mint colored eyes - all from various angles as she tries to understand how to make the thing work ]

Obviously a thing of magic - ( Read more... )

[Kaien's up on a rooftop again today, and he looks thoughtful as he looks out over the misty Anatolian skyline to the buildings below.]I wonder...just what is it that makes the Door fixate on a particular world, at a given time. I've been here nearly two years now, and I've seen all sorts of different combinations. I was the first to arrive from ( Read more... )

[ The video starts with the Forge slightly out of focus, instead zooming in on a puff of smoke. It curls around, forming strange, ambigious shapes in the wind, before it finally blows away and lets the lens focus in on its true target, Gilbert ]

Does time pass differently here? [ There's slight desperation in his voice, but really, isn't ( Read more... )
