[The feed opens to Jensen, holding up the all too familiar playing card everyone in Somarium might have found on their person over the past week or so. He continues flipping it around his fingers for a while, keeping his focus on it instead of the camera.]

Okay, so I've been checking this card out for a while now.

[He stops turning it, holding

Yeah, the video was definitely new. And kind of weird, too. [Izzy glances down, presumably at the card, then tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. Not that it does much, considering how short it looks.] And here I thought the whole...random dialing back of all the cars and stuff was the extent of it.

[hacksinundies]

Someone must've thought that changing the time period of this whole place wasn't enough. Looks like they had to mess with us, too.

[He can't help but chuckle a little though.] Nice 'do.

[nolessthanseven]

Seriously. But isn't that always how it is anyway? Definitely too much to ask that we just stay the same.

[she makes a face for a moment, flushing from embarrassment as she touches her hair self-consciously.] It's just pinned up, thank the Angel...but it won't come down. By the Angel, if my hair's gone tomorrow...

[hacksinundies]

If I had to choose though, this isn't as bad as what happened back around Christmas. That Candyland experience felt like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon.

[Have another laugh.] You're luckier than one of the other women I know around here then. [He makes a scissors motion with his second and third fingers.] Most of it was gone for her.

[smokesinspace]

[he's not that disgruntled since he looks like he's in his original flight gear, but it's still weird.]

Nope, first time for me, too.

[hacksinundies]

[Sup, future co-worker.]

Anything weird pop up on it for you?

[smokesinspace]

[sup, future tea runner. how's it hanging?]

Wouldn't say weird. Just me flyin' through the skies, so can't say I'm too surprised.

[hacksinundies]

[Not much, not much. Hope he'll have something else to do besides fetching tea.]

You don't sound like you are. I'm guessing you're a pilot then?

[nvrtheeasyway]

Well, at least you did not wake up with a few...inches missing.

[Why yes, someone just had an unwilling new hair cut. Lara is not happy with this. Her eyes look away from the screen at her own card.]

I have only noticed the movie this morning. Although I am pretty sure it was not there yesterday.

[hacksinundies]

[He makes a bit of a face, surprised at the new hairstyle Lara was sporting.]

Didn't think it'll be this bad.

[Looking at the card again, he brushes his thumb against it, careful not to activate the video just yet.]

Pretty sure that there wasn't anything on mine yesterday either.

[nvrtheeasyway]

[She touches the back of her newly freed neck, already missing the long hair there. This haircut is not going to be very practical.]

I'm hoping they will grow back as fast as they've been cut down.

What have you seen on yours? [She's referring to the little movie on the card of course.]

[hacksinundies]

Hopefully this won't last too long then? Although this theme seems to have been going on for a while now.

[He plays the short movie again before looking back into the Dreamberry's camera.]

A plane, mostly. I've worked on a helicopter before but nothing this big. Or this old for that matter.

[ishikawa_juusan]

Video...? [Clearly Goemon was unaware of this. He flips his card over, gazing at it both thoughtfully and warily.] ...Did you experience anything unusual as a result of viewing it?

[hacksinundies]

Just a quick video of me fixing up an airplane. It's not exactly something I do very often.

[ishikawa_juusan]

[Being a two-time victim of Somarium's status-effect-inflicting cards, he is wary of any unpleasant after-effects of viewing the video in the card... but it doesn't seem like there is anything too strange in store for him, if he is to judge from the other man's response.] Are you a mechanic?

[He asks with a tone of casual interest.]

[hacksinundies]

[This card seemed pretty safe. In fact, Jensen was still playing with his own right now.]

Not really. I've helped fix a couple of things before but it's not exactly my forte.

[wingedspectrum]

A video? I believe this was a new addition to Somarium's recent change.

It certainly is mysterious.

[hacksinundies]

Sure is. And out of place if you ask me. The thing plays like an old video but it doesn't exactly go with the theme they're trying to convey.

[He's kidding of course.]

[wingedspectrum]

It may be rude of me to ask this, but what sort of clip did they show you?

[hacksinundies]

Don't worry about it. It was me working on a plane and getting tea or coffee, or something. It was too short to make out anything else.
