[Santana actually looks quite calm.

That's because she's already been given the talk. That one. The one where this is a brand new world and you're stuck here and look, here's some starter apartments, please don't try to slash me in the face on your way out -- that talk ( Read more... )

[A few seconds of fiddling with the NV - she's only using one hand - and then the feed comes on to show a wide and familiar smile. The picture is dipping up and down, as if the girl in question was skipping. She is; her braid, in the background, is steadily bobbing up and down. Every few moments, visible in the corners of the video, a bird swoops ( Read more... )

[The NV comes on to static, like an old radio that isn't quite tuned into the right station. A few crackles, pops, and indistinguishable sounds later, and Gabriel's voice starts speaking... Except residents who have been here for the past year may notice that the messages sound a little familiar, disjointed- it's not Gabriel talking. It's Gabriel ( Read more... )

[Tenma turns on the camera, and the first thing that's seen is him rubbing the bridge of his nose. He's going to need to get some glasses eventually.]

So, apparently, there was a big fraternity party at Hawthorne last night. From what I got from some of the boys who came in this morning, it was a "bitching" toga party. [He inserts little quotation ( Read more... )

[the video is a portrait of contrast. Sam Merlotte looks haggard, worn... and a little apprehensive. He seems like he's trying to decide if he should be addressing anyone at all ( Read more... )

[Gooood morning, Siren's Port! Say hello to some cleavage. That's right: some very well-endowed woman is messing with her NV, and it's filming riiiight down her--

[Oh. Oh, wait, there goes the video. Audio only, now!]

Ah, is that it...?

[A pause. Then the woman speaks again. Where before she sounded suitably serious, now she sounds quite lively ( Read more... )

[The video flips on, revealing a brief glimpse of a human form lying unconscious on the baseball field--some poor Greeter who Moody immediately Stunned by reflex upon arrival. If you paused the shot, you might see that he'd caused a fair number of burn marks and charred stains in the area, as well ( Read more... )

So... I'm looking for a guy. [a beat. that sounded totally gay, didn't it? great first impression, Sammy.] Not a guy, like. Ahaha, like I'm not looking for--just any guy. It's a specific guy. He's like, this tall. Um, salt and pepper? Nice suit. I really need to know....if he's here.

[Sam just looks worried.] Canada is a long way from Seattle. It ( Read more... )

Hello.

[This voice coming through sounds very young, very tired, and very irate. She's also got the slightest of lisps, and is maybe a little bit breathless.]

This is a phone, even though it's not going to be working like a regular phone. I know that much. And I've heard it explained, too. Kind of tricky, isn't it?

There are people I'd like to ( Read more... )

You know, I think the future has been pretty amazing in a lot of ways so far. For one, the technology is amazing. For another, people haven't all killed each other yet and from at least skimming the history books of how things went, that's pretty amazing - although I guess things could still go all pear-shaped in pretty short order. Kudos to the ( Read more... )
