[ The Forge starts up and the first thing the audience is permitted to see is Priscilla sitting upon a bed that's not her own. Books surround her, some opened and some closed, her nose crinkled slightly in an expression of marked concentration. There is a soft chuckle from the other side of the camera. Isley is immediately visible the moment the ( Read more... )

It seems I'm helping out at the clinic. I helped Mr. Lupin at the tournament.

I-If anyone ever needs to be taken care of or need to be patched up please come by the clinic. Mr. Lupin is really good at helping those injured. And I'll try my best to help to.

[Steph is sprawled asleep on her bed, tossing and turning as she is having a most horrendous dream.]

[The Forge activates on its own, propped up on a nightstand alongside a bed where Rex is sleeping. He's on his stomach, one arm beneath the pillow while his other dangles off the side of the bed.

[The video feed clicks on with some static as it clatters to the ground before finally picking up the image of boy dressed in a long black coat with his back turned toward the Forge.]
