[ there's a bit of an unusual angle on the video this time - elevated quite a bit, nearly to the ceiling, and showing a fairly plain little room that appears to be an entrance to the house, if only due to the figure standing in the doorway. That would be Rion. There's the sound of raspy breathing somewhere nearby, but no other figure is onscreen, ( Read more... )

[ well, Ash seems to be doing better since his last frazzled appearance on the network. In fact, he seems almost relaxed. The video shows an image of the tall, skinny man sitting somewhere sheltered - perhaps a warehouse - while one of his small, spiderlike robots sits on his shoulders, apparently making some kind of adjustment to the metal rings ( Read more... )

[ After a frantic night of checking absolutely everything - making sure he was all in one piece, all his data collected together and secure, untouched - Ash contacts the network for the first time in months. And he sounds less than happy, to make a considerable understatement. The usually smug and collected voice sounds rattled as it patches ( Read more... )

A month. One month of living here, and that's already far more than I wanted. I can hardly contain my excitement.[ ( Read more... )

[ heeey, it's that guy. That guy who was a dick when everyone tried to help him. It seems he's somehow managed to survive this long. In fact, by the look of things, he even got into the apartments. Ash seems to be sitting at a desk, chin resting pensively in one hand, eyes staring into the screen. Nothing is out of place like last time - no weird ( Read more... )

[ the video turns on to reveal -- white. That's it: just a white background, without a hint of any kind of Siren's Port scenery. Weird. A few moments pass with nothing happening, but then, a form begins to phase into existence. It's staticky at first, almost like a broken TV, but soon the shape settles, and an adult, silver-haired man appears, ( Read more... )
