Now that most of the holidays have passed - and we have one asshole behind bars - I want to discuss with the network at large the idea of using the Newcomer Community Center more often. I don't see much traffic there, which is fine, but I think we can put it to good use in the coming year. Call it a resolution, I guess ( Read more... )

[Duo is at home, as evidenced by the furnished studio apartment seen behind him. Unlike his previous NV post some months back, his expression is distinctly more... sheepish.

I guess I should introduce myself, since I've been here awhile.

Hello everyone! My name is [there's a slight pause] Reids. If anyone needs any help, no matter how big or small, just let me know and I'll come running!

Also...I think I should probably take up the free rent, I haven't found a job yet. [nervous laugh and he scratches the back of his ( Read more... )

[Now that the day of pirate speech is over, perhaps he can bear to speak to people.]

Some scallywags mighten accuse me o' likin' th' sound o' me owns voice. Thar they may be right. 'tis rude indeed that I be yet ta introduce meself properly, don't ye reckon? One soul that went t'Davy Jones be hardly a proper 'Ahoy.'

I've had calls all morning about whether or not there will be some sort of police presence down by the diamond because of what happened to Himawari. The answer is yes, obviously, though I'm not sure what good it will do now. I'm sorry about what happened to her.
