[There's a sort of yanking motion as the NV turns on and starts recording. It's a bedroom, neatly kept and elegant, with a big, comfy bed, rumpled with a rather familiar dark-haired, noticeably unclothed and dozing. The voice (and the slight glow originating from behind the NV) is recognizable as Franz d'Epinay's. Cultured, precise, and more than ( Read more... )

[It's early afternoon, and Jack's on a bench in the carnival, holding a bunch of colourful balloons. Every so often he releases one up into the sky, and every so often he hands one to a child who stares too long in wonder. Every so often, too, he gives one to a pretty lady. (Because he's a gentleman.)]

So.

Children.

[Kevin looks tired. There were Darkness Proofing issues at his place, and they're still cleaning it up. Plus, he has a job, so he's been busy. But this post is important. Very important.]Beggin' y'all's pardon. I know everyone's still shaken up from the quake an' all. But I ain't heard from a few people, an' I was wonderin' if'n anyone had ( Read more... )

HEY! LISTEN UP!

[The loud exclaimation in fact comes from a small blond boy practically drowning in his FOXHOUND coat. Despite being mostly unable to move in it, he stubbornly stands on the table and talks into the NV. He doesn't look any older than seven at the most.Even if I'm tiny now, I could still kick all of your asses! So don't ( Read more... )

[The feed on the image screen shows a blonde woman, looking more than slight emaciated and with noticeable circles under her eyes. Any more detail is hard to see because the surrounding environment is darkened.]

Good to know this thing works. [Her voice is strained, as though she's had to keep quiet for a while.]

Right..this is Lieutenant Sonya ( Read more... )

[The video comes on, with the camera staring up at Ishida's face. There's clearly something wrong, however; not only is he naked, but the Quincy's expression is completely blank, and he's staring down at the NV like he couldn't comprehend anything that he was looking at, or if he could even really see it ( Read more... )

You humans are all the same. Maybe you'll destroy each other and save me the trouble.

[Well there's a face that hasn't been seen for quite some time. Kadaj seems a little distant, distracted, and in spite of his venomous words his tone is rather dull.]Mother's church was damaged, too. They say it was lightning. You know, that had really better be ( Read more... )

[ A little static, as if the NV isn't used that much. Crackling sounds, background noise of music- before someone speaks. It's a low, rough, New Jersey accent. All blunt edges and drawling tones. ]Y'know, I ain't much for the police most days. They like pokin' their noses into business that ain't their's, struttin' 'round places like it belong ta ( Read more... )

[From the faint sounds in the background, it sounds like he's in a population centre. There is the bustling of feet, the sounds of people talking and talking and talking. The sounds are difficult to make out. So much noise... When he speaks at last, his voice is quiet. Distant. There's a tiredness to it and a slight croakiness as if his throat is ( Read more... )
