[The audio begins with a faint and distant voice, probably a couple of feet away from the NV. They seem to be speaking-- no, yelling at someone. Then there's silence.

A wretching sound.

And a very sort of... disgusted yelp.]

[There's a word to sum up what this little spirit medium has been doing for the last couple of days. That word is hiding. She's locked herself in her room at Phoenix's apartment and she's shut herself away from everyone. Even on the NV, her voice is so quiet it's almost flat]I heard somebody say that people who... The people who die here and don't ( Read more... )

Hey. Anyone else enjoy the lightshow last night? That was really somethin', huh?

A sight like that makes you think about things.. Heh, maybe you normally wouldn't.

[There is a little pause before Ace continues with what he really wanted to talk about.]Do you think it's possible for someone to live a full life here? We change normally, so that's ( Read more... )

This...announcement is relevant to all who know Jack Kelly or Sirius Black. Last night, they allegedly attacked an AGI slaver convoy and were subsequently detained. Their attorney, assigned to them by AGI, has put through the paperwork to auction them off as slaves. The auction will occur this Saturday.

[A pause, and a swallow.]I...do not believe ( Read more... )

[A green-haired man with dark eyes is staring very intensely out of the video(which is pulled back and tilted at a wonky angle). He doesn't say anything at first, just looks angry. His baritone voice matches up with the grumpiness expressed on his face.]

I need someone to give me real jobs. [The hard stare turns a little expectant. He's looking at ( Read more... )

[The NV clicks on to an empty room of a small house. It's old, but mostly solid. You can see the window shutters hang a little loosely, but no so badly they can't be repaired. As the camera pans, you can see scuffed wooden floors as Susan's voice begins to speak.]Landlord called this a steal, two small bedrooms, a kitchen with appliances older than ( Read more... )

[Rochelle may be in her pajamas with some impressive bedhead on her, but she's gonna WHIP OUT HER LIL' DESERT EAGLE. She decided there was no need for words, really, so she pulls off some cheesy James Bond-esque poses in her pajamas with her NEW new new favorite gun very happy-like.]

Did the Core get me that promotion, too? Because you're talking ( Read more... )

[When the video feed first clicks on, the only thing visible is a very large eye. Whoever it is has their face pressed right up close to the NV as a nearby Greeter mumbles an explanation off-screen.]

Aaahh... So it’s a mystery communicator. [As he speaks, the eyeball recedes until an actual whole face can be seen on the recording. The other person ( Read more... )

[The view seems to be coming from somewhere up high. Though it's not possible yet to see where exactly it's coming from, Yoruichi is in fact sitting on top of her fridge, body tucked up into a cozy position. Yes, in human form, oddly enough.]Well, that was quite the sight in the sky last night, wasn't it? I can't say I've ever had the privilege ( Read more... )
