[Russia had almost lost track of how long he'd been here in Splendor. Had it really been two months or had time simply messed with him? He wasn't sure but thinking about it never really turned up concrete answers. Nevertheless, Splendor was rather interesting, and Russia could usually find something going on if he looked around. But for some reason ( Read more... )

[So this whole wish thing has of course left Hungary intrigued. Finally, the time had come where she just needed to try it. Her wish?

"I want to be someone's knight in shining armor today"

A reasonable wish, given the fairytale-esque scenery of Splendor. Somehow, the city took it literally enough to dress her up to look the part, though the sword ( Read more... )

So---! Uh, hi there! Whoever is listening... I had kind of a question I wanted to ask. Well, actually two questions but they're both related so that makes it one big question?

One of those thoughts has been about how he hasn't heard the hybrid's voice in a long time, and that has been his source of guidance for a very long time.

[The video feed shows Chihiro, sitting on a bench just in front of the golden gates. The little girl is frowning nervously, chewing her lower lip in anxiety. The Seal has been set on the bench beside her, because Chihiro's hands are busily occupied with a small pink bean. It catches the light with each arc, shining ( Read more... )

[The video shows Jack -- what looks like Jack, anyway -- from the chest up, looking considerably less moody than your average. The seal is in his palm facing up and he's playing with one of those little pink beans between his thumb and index. There's the start of a smile in his lips.]
