[What an odd creature floating on the screen.]

This sucks.

Not only am I, like, kidnapped, but now I don't even have a freakin' place to live! I'm a princess, I, like, have needs! Where am I supposed to live? Where am I supposed to lumpin' eat?

You better have an answer! This is the worst kidnapping ever!

[Someone’s fumbled the NV. There are flashes of sky, followed by the sound of the poor little machine hitting the ground, and then a nice blurry close up of grass.]

CRAP! I dropped it! Oh no! Please don’t be broken! That’s the last thing I need!

[A few dizzy seconds of blurred colors and fumbling noises later, and a teenage boy is looking ( Read more... )

[For once the temperature was actually blow freezing even during the day.  With it that miserable, who in their right mind would go outside?  Nobody.  At least nobody without a good reason.  Unfortunately for Frau he did have a good reason.  He had to get to work.  That wasn't all that easy with freezing temperatures and no body temperature though ( Read more... )

[A rather somber occasion, isn't it? The day after the Towers blow up. But don't worry. That is why there's a statement.]

As I'm sure you all know, now, the Tower Apartments, a staple in this community since the first Newcomers arrived, has been destroyed by what appears to be a terrorist bombing against the so called "Newcomer Threat". [Raul ( Read more... )

[The video feed comes on abruptly square shaped flecks of dark light are flowing upwards towards the sky as dark shadows begin to twist upward until nothing can be seen. The sudden darkness and the angle make it impossible to tell what or who is transmitting the actual footage.

The next visible thing is a pulsing red light, one that starts the size ( Read more... )

[ When the feed turns on, it's probably because Ella had, in her haste, thrown it onto the floor in her house. There's an odd angle, but the -SLAM- of a door and growl of some creature on the other side was unmistakeable. Ella's breathing is ragged as if she'd run for miles. What is visible of her are her legs and the lower half of a white cloak ( Read more... )

Huh. The Year of the Dragon already? Boy, time flies here. [She tries to not sound too crushed about it. That she wasn't with her parents and couldn't even get to celebrate the whole process as she was used to do. No relatives or shrines to visit. It gave her awareness that she spent too much time away from home.] I...I hope that my nengajo didn't ( Read more... )

[The video feed flickers to life and Soul can be seen sitting indoors in one of the starter apartment living rooms. If someone were to look closely they'll notice the outline of a feather behind his right shoulder. It's nothing, really...]

Hey, the name's Soul. [He rubs the side of his neck absently.] Apparently I've been to this city before. But ( Read more... )

Kaito? [The voice of the girl is a high thread; anxiety has plainly slipped in. The next words are even higher, a thin thread threatening to break:] Kaito![Softer,] Anyone ( Read more... )

Ah, hello. I suppose I'm new. I can't say this is very... um... convenient -- to be brought here, I mean -- but there are upsides. It may seem silly, but if you look out the window....

There is a moon. Sure, it's hard to see, but it's really there. It's also a little, ah, creepy out there right now, granted, but... at least the stars are also there ( Read more... )
