[Video plays: time lapse photography of a sunrise in glowing pinks and gold, over a stunning vista of craggy, ice-covered mountains. A chintzy chime-like sound effect trills in the background. A smooth, genderless voice with no definable accent speaks in clear, precise cadence, a little stridently, while a text transcription of the words runs along ( Read more... )

[The first time the NV turns on, it's at the Newcomer Memorial Center, with a view on one of the markers and some flowers.]

This is very beautifully done, and I-- [Raul's voice is hurt, as the NV is shifted, and then a voice is heard in the background before the NV is turned off ( Read more... )

[Diego's sitting in his office, a rarely-seen place as far as his NV goes. It's small but furnished with a nice desk and... well, maybe it isn't small, maybe it's just the six coffee machines, the shelf of tin canisters of coffee grounds and... wow. Does Diego actually get any work done in here, or is he making coffee all day ( Read more... )

CANADA! [Captain Jack Sparrow fixes the NV with an accusatory stare. In the background, that five feet of snow mentioned in the newsfeed lies around him. Snow is heaped on him as well, on his shoulders, in his hat--probably because he fell asleep outside.]

Canada! [Never mind that he's been here for nearly three months now, there have been more ( Read more... )

You know how there was that craft show advertised in the news? I checked it out and I found the most awesome thing!

[Keigo turns around and ducks down to hide from the camera. There's some rustling with a plastic bag, and when he spins around with a big smile, he's wearing a mistletoe headband. He waggles his eyebrows and his expression says ( Read more... )

[Anyone out near the baseball diamond today might notice a less-scrawny-than-he-started-out--two-months-ago freak cat lurking near the dugout just out of sight. But if you're not, you get treated to this voice. It's highly possible Meowth doesn't know it's recording. It's not his fault that wearing your NV as a bracelet means it'll start recording ( Read more... )

[A middle aged man is sitting in one of the newcomer apartments, his chin in his hands as he looks at the screen thoughtfully.]  I had rather hoped that this was all some hallucination, but as I'm still here I suppose not.  [He sighs deeply, before smiling.]  Still, it's not my place to question God's will and everyone I've met so far has been nice ( Read more... )

[The video is being recorded from what appears to be the floor of a small room, looking up at a girl who looks entirely too energetic for this hour of the very early morning. She’s sitting cross legged and bright-eyed on the edge of her bed, leaning down over her NV, some sort of prop-in-progress sitting in her lap.]The masquerade ball at the Lux ( Read more... )

[This video is made around noon today, and when it turns on, sirens are going off; bright flashes of light from the police cars stationed around what can be seen as the Newcomer Community Center.]

There's been a bomb threat at the Newcomer Community Center. I suggest that everyone stays away from the block for the next few hours. [Raul turns the ( Read more... )

[Scraping wood on wood and the sigh of the man responsible for the weight greet the port as Undertaker address the island. It's the first time in a long while. You see, he's been busy. Yes, very busy indeed.]It never ceases to amuse me how finicky Lady Death is in this world~ She serenades us all so sweetly as she always has, and she plays her ( Read more... )
