[Voice recording, early evening before sirens]

I don’t know if it’s just the news that was reported today that has me on edge or what it might be, but that guy made me feel very… n-not okay just now.

[A smaller sound in her voice as she speaks to the device.]I don’t know if he’s someone new, and if you are and you see this, I apologize! If… not

You are bringing this sighting to the attention of the Network because you suspect this person to be in connection to the recent murders reported, correct?

What did this person do to unsettle you?

[audio // private; difficult to hack]

[controllingluck]

Ah... yes. I mean... I don't know who he is, and I'm pretty good about keeping up with who is in the Apartment complex now. Who's new and who's... part of us and unless he's really very new and I missed it? I... i don't know but something about him bothered me. A lot. J-just... passing him made me feel weak. Like something was sucked out of me and left me feeling cold? But... the news today really bothered me, so maybe I'm over reacting, but it can't hurt to... alert others.

Then you are still living at the starter apartments. To my knowledge, there have not been any new arrivals in perhaps two weeks, so I doubt that you are wrong in that assumption.

Weak. Elaborate on that. Was the experience comparable to anything that you have felt previously?

[controllingluck]

Ah, yes, yes I am. I'm a greeter here, so I know who's been assigned here and who's not here, generally. I checked with the landlord this morning and I'm sure there were no new people as well.

Oh ah... it... it felt as if something inside went away, if... that makes sense. A heavy feeling, like I was overly tired all of a sudden? Cold. I... I don't know; empty? It didn't last long, bu then again I didn't stand around long either.

[drainedpaladin]

He made you feel strange? How?

[private doumeki & himawari // hard to hack]

[controllingluck]

Oh! Doumeki-san! [A sigh, like relief to hear the older mans voice again] I don't know. maybe I'm just... worried about everything they were talking about and over reacting. I just got really cold feeling though when we passed in the stairwell. I really don't recognize him at all...

[private doumeki & himawari // hard to hack]

[drainedpaladin]

[there's a pause as he thinks about that, and he makes a considering noise]

Maybe it's good to overreact. [another pause] Cold...those feelings aren't always good to ignore. Do you still feel unsafe?

[private doumeki & himawari // hard to hack]

[controllingluck]

He was just... very startling. What's worse is that... I don't think I could point him out to you or anyone other then what he was wearing. I ah... oh... yes. I think I should be fine here. I have a dead bolt on my door now, a-and I have weapons if I need them. It's just... unsettling is all. The news is all very unsettling...

[ oh god, everything that's been happening lately has columbus on edge. he hasn't left his room in a few days.... he had drinks though. and he had a bit of food. entertainment was down to zero, but he always found something to do instead of thinking about the worst case scenario. ]

I don't know whether this is worse than zombies or not.

[voice]

[controllingluck]

Columbus! You're still here right? Do be careful if you go out. I... don't know about zombies, but what they were talking about in the news today... it's really terrible.

[voice]

[doubletaps]

... Are you okay?

Ahh, yeah I tend to stay indoors when there's a rising panic among citizens. Panic isn't really something you should open your door to.

[voice]

[controllingluck]

Y-yes. Yes, I'm alright. I really think I was just... over reacting. Maybe. you're right though. Staying indoors right now might be the safest thing to do at the moment.

[meteor_heart]

Sounds like you had a scary bump Miss...?

I'm a little out of the way, way up on the 13th floor, but I'm here if you need anything. [Tifa smiles into the NV.]

I'm Tifa.

[Voice]

[controllingluck]

I think perhaps I'm just letting my nerves get the best of me is all. Perhaps?

Ah, but thank you, Tifa-san. I'm Himawari.

[Voice]

[meteor_heart]

Well maybe, but it can't hurt to be careful right? [Tifa smiles.]

If you wanna come up to hang out or anything, that's totally cool. Times like this it kinda sucks to be alone you know?

[Voice]

[controllingluck]

R-right. Careful I plan to be too.

[She considers this. But a few things stop her. One, this is a stranger still, and two... her bad luck might hurt the nice lady more then anything so, sadly she shook her head as she spoke]

No, but thank you. I think I'll be alright. I might... ah, might see if I can go stay with my friends for tonight. But it's awful kind of you to offer. Thank you.

[Not entirely the description, but worth thinking about.]

What did the coat look like?

[Voice]

[controllingluck]

The coat? Ah... trench coat style, long. He had a black hooded sweater as well.

[Video]

[linkthismemory]

Hm...It might not be... [She trails off a little, before shaking her head.]

Then I don't think it's anyone I know of.

[She looks up and at the screen directly.]

Are you alright?

[Voice]

[controllingluck]

You thought it might be someone you know? --A-oh. Yes. Yes I'm fine. I was just... startled I suppose.
