[The empty visage of a small dining room, dimly lit, is all that can be seen as the NV begin its feed. The heavy shadows obscure the table standing in the adjacent room only partially. On its surface is a mountain of black cloth, haplessly placed. Atop its peak is a perched the tailed hat that so defines its owner. Dusting them both is a faint powder.
There is a long moment in which there is nothing but the background noise of boiling water and the muffled sound of wood scraping coated metal. A soft, strangely gentle and distant hum crescendos from the lull of its accompanying symphony. A click resonates as the screen of a tea kettle pierces the otherwise peaceful soundscape. Only then was the feed noticed.]
Aaah~~! Wandering, wondering, pondering~
[The whistle sputters out and Undertaker's head and shoulders appear from the edge of the screen, as if suspended. One thin hand lifts to give a spidery wave to those who could or could not be on the other side. His skin is a shade paler than normal and even his smile seems to have the barest of fading at the edges. His vanishes again as there is the tink of a tea strainer dropping into his empty cup.]
There are so many exciting things happening~! The earthquake, and noooow the exposure of the 'Core'! Everyone's running around like beheaded chickens~
[A pause as he clicks off the burners of the stove.]
I have met some veeeeery interesting people here. There's a man who seems to have the same sort of humor as my own, his company is quite enjoyable. There's also an angel with only one wing. He's a kind soul, naturally, though I would never thought that things work as he says. And finally, an adorable young girl with the most fascinating body. I do hope to be having her over to visit more often in the future~
Oh! And I seem to have found myself something that resembles a job~ He's a carpenter who provides elegant wooden decor and artwork for high class residents on commission. He has quite a few projects currently and needs some help. He was impressed by my quick and otherwise unimpressive work on the coffins I made for the earthquake victims. I spent this morning in his shop demonstrating my abilities~ I believe it went over well. It will be nice to have some sort of income in this place~
I also have a handful of services lined up as a result of the violence that's started over the Core. My work with Raphael seemed to at least paaaartially win over some of the people who live here. I'm going to be visiting the graves from the other day soon to see if they're still there.
[His voice's enthusiasm waivers before he gives a sigh. Leaning in front of the screen, only his chest and the hand that holds his tea cup are visible.]
Be well, everyone. Especially you, young Earl. It's good to see the King back to his proper position on the board.
[There's a small click as the feed ends.]
