[The video clicks on, quite by accident as the tablet tumbles to the ground. The image is skewed, but from the camera's location, weathered grave markers, statues, and crypts can be seen, as well as the freshly disturbed earth on which the tablet rests. The only sounds for a moment are coughs interspersed with spitting and labored breathing ( Read more... )

[The video cuts on to a dimly lit place. Lines of what might be furniture can be seen here and there, but the feed's too dark to make out much of the background. Gambit's face is illuminated by nothing save the soft glow from his tablet screen, and when he speaks, his voice is barely above a whisper.Jus' seein' if dis t'ing still works. Anybody ( Read more... )

[The voice from the device is shaking and weak, and thick with the effort of actually speaking.]

...anybody...out dere...?

...laisser quelqu'un y être, s'il vous plaît...*

[*"Let someone be there, please"]

[The device cuts on as it tumbles to the roof-top, skidding to a stop in the gravel there. There's a rush of wind as a figure alights to the ground near the tablet. The figure is cloaked in black ribbed with white, though most of the form is obscured by its large, metallic wings ( Read more... )

[Remy is on a rooftop (he seems to like that vantage point) looking out of the city.]

Don' know if de means anything t' any of you, but dere be a lot mo' people 'round today. You think dis an' de creepy message we got be a coincidence?

[Remy hasn't really been seen around the network for a while, what with getting over his torture and all. Then there was his little problem with Charis, not to mention being emo on rooftops as a direct result of Ivy saying she couldn't separate him from the monster his replacement had been. That was compounded by him remembering being said monster ( Read more... )

[No video for the cajun today. Normally he wouldn't have even bothered to make himself known after what he'd done, after the things he'd said. Normally he'd just hide, run away, find a new city to haunt for a while. But this was different. He'd spent a week in hell, playing over and over one of his worst moments, and it turned out some monster ( Read more... )

[The video cuts on to show an expanse of table, as though it's propped up on a stand or something of the like. The surface of the wooden table is covered with scorch marks, and though small objects had been set on fire across it's surface. At the moment, there is a spiral of small rectangular objects set about one end and they trail off toward the ( Read more... )

[It's been a few days since anyone's heard a word from Remy, which is out of character for him. When the feed cuts on, the video is very dark. Remy's face is mostly in shadow, save for his dimly glowing eyes and the burning ember at the end of his cigarette.Can't say I never met de dead before. Mo' times den I can count. Still, never gets no ( Read more... )

[The video cuts on to show a by now familiar scene, the docks and the barren bank of the river over which everyone has arrived at some point or another. The figure standing in front of the camera reaches into a pocket of his light brown duster, pulls out a pack of cigarettes, and taps one out, slipping it deftly between his lips and flicking a ( Read more... )
