[The room shown on the feed is sparse, bearing a cot and a small dresser. It's early morning or very late evening depending on who you talk to. The only source of light is a small lamp sitting on the desk beside the device, which does much to illuminate the small, skinny figure beside it. Actually, scratch that-- he's got glowing green eyes.]

It's not enough. [His voice is young and bitter with a searing edge of desperation. And his face is pretty much the same.] It's not enough!

[He stares hard at the pile of books and papers on his desk, then reaches over and grabs something. Whatever it is, it's small enough to fit in his hand. His eyes flare brightly, sickly green and hot; he opens his palm, and nothing but dust remains.]

Do you hear me, Initiative?! THIS ISN'T ENOUGH!

[His voice cracks, and that's the last straw for him. He swipes everything off the desk, lamp included, in one swift and violent display of anger. The lamp goes out, and the network feed ends.]

[ooc: Roommates, feel free to barge in if you want. Or... go back to sleep. lol. OTHERWISE OPEN TO ALL. he's been a bit of a hermit since the intro log and um... well, that was a couple weeks ago. |D]

[ Jaina's no fool and while she ought to not be using her voice so quickly after being unable to for the past few days, she still ends up responding in video herself. If he's able to look beyond his own problems to notice her pale skin (almost as though she were touched by death itself), she would refuse to talk about it. No, not when he needs that. ]

Calm yourself, please. You will do no good lashing out this way.

[The feed is dark aside from his eyes.

Pretty creepy. His breathing is pretty heavy, too. It hurts. Everything hurts. He needs more, but that's all they have. He can't live like this, not if he's going to be training.

He can't live like this period. He's not in critical mode, that's still a couple days off, but--]

What am I supposed to do? Ask them for more? They will not give me any more. This is all they have!

[ Maybe this is a good thing, she wants to say. In order to break an addiction, one must pull away from it fully. No, Jaina can't be foolish enough to think that the Blood Elves here can go without. There were many individuals such as herself that walk the streets that could fall victim and even if they fail to control it, there's a chance they could become something more twisted. ]

Was it enough to last you a suitable amount of time? [ Warily asking this. ]

Settle down now. Throwing things around will do little to get their attention. Trust me on that one, I know from first hand experience.

[arcanepower]

[The feed is dark aside from the little glowy green points of his eyes. He is tired and frustrated.]

Is that the advice you gave the high elves when they collapsed on your doorstep?

video;

[shalamayne]

From what I recall they did not scream or shout to get what they needed.

[kid looks about the same age as Anduin, even though Varian knows elves age weird.]

Now then. Speak clearly. What is it you need exactly?

[chittybang]

[ Asami asks very, very cautiously..! ]

... What do you need?

I'M SO SORRY ASAMI ;-;

[arcanepower]

[There are just two green glowy orbs staring back at her through the feed.]

Do you have magic?

( video )

[thalassian]

( well somebody looks uncomfortable here but it's certainly not in the anticipated way of

discomfort.... )

Control yourself. ( uh )

I can try to help. ( so there's that at least )

[shalamayne]

No-one even asked for your opinon. No-one ever wants your opinion. Why this place even felt fit to bring you will remain one of the greatest mysteries in this world.

[Just about hissing that.]

( video )

[crymoore]

K-K---[ Nope, Jaina can't bring herself to fully say his name. Honestly, if Arthas was able to arrive here before his death and Varian during a time after his fall, then it's possible for other Azeroth inhabitants to arrive from different parts of history. It's difficult to judge from a mere video alone. ] When did you arrive?

[ Classy, Jaina. Asking a question so abruptly. ]

[arcanepower]

[Are you serious? After all of that-- after the entire tantrum, the traitor prince of the Blood Elves has come to make fun of his plight?

There was one point where Belth saw him as a sort of role model. Everyone did, really. Though Belth never really enjoyed sucking mana out of things, it was the nail in the coffin when it came out who he was really allied with.

Kael'thas is dead, and HAS been dead for several years, but seeing the elf-lord on the network just exacerbates his already terrible mood. And yet he's scared as hell. Actually scared, not just frightened of everything. Kael'thas-- it's motherfucking Kael'thas.]

I do not need your h--help.

[Dammit, he wanted to be all cool and standoffish but instead he just squeaks.]

[bloodspeaker]

[Kael'thas? HERE? Oh, hell no.]

You fucking stay away from him.

[confiteri]

[ That glow? Totally sketchy, but you know what she is a nice person and this boy does seem in need. (temper tantrum aside) ]

Calm down, there is no need for yelling. What is it that you need?

[arcanepower]

[This is what happens when you don't discipline your kids. And leave them to fend for themselves on the streets of a 1984-like fancy elf city.

The feed is dark except for two green glowing freaky orbs and the ambient light of the tablet thing.]

There is likely nothing that you can give me, human.

[voice]

[ghostling]

[Is so glad she isn't at the unit right now.]

Kid, calm down. A tantrum isn't going to help.

[video]

[arcanepower]

Tantrum? You have no concept of what I am feeling. Of what I am going through. Keep your insufferable remarks to yourself.

[... They were almost getting along too.]

[bloodspeaker]

[sharply.] Belthazar. Where's your room?

video;

[arcanepower]

[The feed is dark except for his eyes, which are more like green slits right now.]

What do you want?

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Whoa, whoa, kid. Chill the fuck out, what's the problem?

[video]

[arcanepower]

[This kid's life is symphonic metal. Probably Within Temptation or Sirenia, if we're getting specific. Either way-- he's in a lot of pain right now and NO ONE UNDERSTANDS.]

Chill?! The only way I will chill about this is when I am DEAD.

[voice]

[seamend]

What's wrong, dear? What isn't enough?

[video]

[arcanepower]

[He's about to retort with complete venom, but the way she talks-- it actually makes him hesitate.

And then the venom comes.]

I need something to live and the fools running this island do not have it!

[bratworth]

They won't hear you through this device.

[ Also, what is wrong with your eyes. That's... unsettling. ]

video;

[arcanepower]

Are you born dumb? They have every reason to watch the network. But it doesn't matter.

[He seethes in the dark.]

They can rot for all I care.
