[A little while after siren, the video feed opens to a close-up of a somber-looking Roxas. Xion is beside him and half out of the frame, but appears pale faced and unhappy, holding onto Winner who seems to have picked up on the mood and is nuzzling her hand. On the whole, they're fairly calm.]I wanted to let people know that Axel's...gone. He was ( Read more... )

[Back...houred to late this morning; when the video feed starts, it seems like it might be by mistake, a misdial caused by an NV bumping around in someone's purse or pocket. There's the sound of fumbling, and blurry dark and light from fingers brushing over the tiny camera lens as someone slowly and methodically tries to get it working ( Read more... )

[Today Roxas sounds a little nervous when his voice comes on over the network feed. Not distressed, but a little unsettled.]This is probably a stupid question, with everything that's gone on lately, but...well-I figured people would know. What's a person supposed to do if someone they don't even know very well gives them a gift out of nowhere ( Read more... )

[When the video feed kicks on in the mid-afternoon, caffeine addicts will note that the background is that of Kahve-more specifically, a corner containing an overstuffed armchair where some employees choose to relax on their breaks.]A lot of the holidays this world has are really interesting, but I'm going to skip celebrating this one. I can't ( Read more... )

Does anyone know when the days will get long enough to be...well, days again? It's better than it was a month ago, but it's still dark so much that it really stinks. Even for people who can handle themselves after siren, it's no fun when it's cold and the days are so short ( Read more... )

A lot of people have been asking how I'm doing this week, and I wanted to let people know I'm all right. Needed to take some time off, but I'm fine.

...maybe not fine. But I will be. So thanks. Didi, I'll be back at work tomorrow.

This world really stinks sometimes. But I appreciate that you guys care.

[Filtered from Xehanort, Ansem and Vanitas; difficult to hack.]

[Axel's lounging back on the couch in the apartment, Winner curled up on the arm beside him. Next to him, Roxas sits like a stone, elbows resting on his knees as he stares into space. On his lap is a journal, but he's not reading it. The cat nudges Axel's hand and he pets her without ( Read more... )

It's funny how easy things turn around to go back to the way they were before. Not "ha-ha" funny. It was just a little while ago that the whole city was excited about Christmas. You couldn't get away from it. So I guess it's good I didn't mind. And that went on for weeks and weeks. Then in just one day it happened and then it was all done. There ( Read more... )

[A couple hours before siren, a snapshot is posted of the bustling shops in a commercial section of Sector 4. Holiday decorations are up and people appear to be in good moods. It's kind of a heartwarming picture.]The closer we get to Christmas, the happier people seem, even though it's just a day. I heard some people talking about other holidays, ( Read more... )

That skating rink some people made the other day was pretty fun. Does anyone know who did it? I feel like we should...I don't know, maybe not pay them, but say thank you. Things have seemed pretty grim lately, but that was a nice thing they did for everyone ( Read more... )
