[Video on.

Reim is huddled in the dark, the sirens wailing just behind the door from the building he's hiding in. Really, all you can see is his glasses and face, which is light up by the screen on his NV. Everything around him is dark. But hey, at least he's inside.

Guess who left work at the Lion's Gate late?]

I-it appears I won't be arriving home ( Read more... )

[Yes, it's well past evening time. Yes, Alois is probably trying to bake something. He's very indepedent, okay!! And clearly, small kitchen disasters are the perfect way to prove this.

Never mind that he's done this before, and it'd only gone awry.

The sleeves of his off-white nightgown are rolled up, and the NV must be propped up with something, ( Read more... )

[When the feed comes on, it's a little skewed. Almost sideways- and swaying ever so slightly. But what can be seen, beyond the edge of slender legs clad in black thigh highs, is ... a Pet Shop. Yes, full of little glass, open cages where little furry animals like hamsters, guinea pigs and other rodents scurry around or sleep in piles of fluff and ( Read more... )

[Two proud Canadian geese. They're the only things of visible interest, standing no more than a few yards away. The video stays steady as a white-gloved hand moves into view, its palm turned to the sky and holding a few leaves of romaine lettuce. The geese immediately notice the offering, but they're too wary to approach for whatever reason.]You ( Read more... )

[There's a few minutes of silence as Seth's footsteps can be heard crunching around.  Obviously, she's outdoors, and the horrible noises of the Darkness monsters can also be heard---followed by slicing noises.]

Well.

[A pause, as Seth grunts to quickly evade the monsters' attacks.  Leaves rustle, twigs snap, and branches fall---in fact, to be more ( Read more... )

[As per usual, Roman is wearing a dress shirt and tie. Today, however, he's also wearing a red construction helmet with a light attached and a white apron that says 'Kiss the Cook'. Despite the background hum of a power generator somewhere, the kitchen he's in has lit candles scattered around it. The flickering shadows play off the hollows of his ( Read more... )

[Snake hadn't wasted any time when he arrived. Terror and confusion had overtaken him the moment the greeter arrived to speak with him. He'd bolted as soon as he had his wits enough to stand. Thankfully, instructions that the strange looking pocketwatch he had on him could be used to communicate had been shouted before he was out of earshot ( Read more... )

[For only a couple of minutes or so, the NV's on video feed.  Seth is shown with her back turned, but her clothes are all torn up again, much like when she first arrived.  Just like before, there's little in the way of visible injuries to be seen---a few scuffs and scratches.  What's different this time, however, is that those scratches and scuffs ( Read more... )

[The feed flickers to life. All that appears on the screen is a silhouette thanks to the angle, and perhaps some darkness radiating off of him. Eyes are the only thing visible, glowing in the darkness and illuminating deeply tanned skin. Those from his universe may recognize either to glow or him: the Heartless King has risen, and he is in Siren’s ( Read more... )

Okay, so. I think I'm ready for schools here-- must have spent a month getting used to this place's history and government and stuff. And then I went to check and the school systems are different so I don't even start high school until next year. So much for all that reading ( Read more... )
